Professional Audio on Linux?
twilightzero asks: "Recently a friend of mine who is chief engineer at a medium size recording studio/radio station has become increasingly unhappy with Windows (and would like to stay away from Macs) and has asked me if there is any sort of professional audio solution for Linux. Has anybody, anywhere ever tried this? Is it possible to buy a pro audio card with Linux drivers and just run Sound Forge in WINE or do you need an entirely native package?" This is one of those questions that just needs to be answered. What Open Source sound packages out there are good enough for even the professionals to use when they need to make their squeaks, squeals, and whistles. Also, what can they use to put their created sounds together into some semblance of music?
As an addendum, coasterfreak asks: "Being an avid Linux user and composer is a bit of a problem right now. I've never run across any decent music creation programs for Linux. I've used Finale and Cakewalk before, but have yet to see them for Linux. I've heard rumors of something coming from the Debain crew, but nothing more than rumors." Can anyone confirm or deny them?
Just as a bit of a helpful hint, how many of you have tried Audacity yet? It looks to be a fairly feature rich sound editor, and it supports mixing tracks, plugin sound effects, and is cross platform, to boot! Maybe this is a decent spring board for those of you looking to start experimenting with sound under Linux, but I'm not quite sure it's ready for professionals yet...this based on the version number of 0.97 rather than any actual experience, so I'd take the word of those who have said they have used it rather than mine. It would be great if Audacity is further along than it looks.
I claim your post as my own you loser dick licker posting logged in. with this post i make you the receiver and me the giver.
AC forever beatchez!
Their reposnse is not strong enough for a true American. Instead of striking back with EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT (biological, chemical AND nuclear weapons!), they waste their time building "alliances" with the unchristian people who are untrustwothy by nature.
This lack of resolution can be traced to the long period of peace time between the WW-II and the WW-III we're fighting now.
Compared to the previous war, we are pitifully handicapped by our concepts of "morality". Back in the 1940s we interned our slant-eyed enemies with no qualms and prevented an uncounted number of terrorist attacks by these sworn bastard enemies of our white race.
Now all the ethnic arabs, blacks and god-knows-what- europeans are running free in our great country. Free to poison our water reservoirs and contaminate our blood supplies with their AIDS infected blood.
The terrorists do not have moral. In fact, they are not human beings and should be treated as such.
I call on you, free white Americans, to take action against these criminals. You have to do it on your own since our government seems to lack the strength to accept the reality and imprison, torture and kill these animals.
Don't let yourselves be fooled by the weak enemy within who keeps crying: free speech, human rights and free religion. There is no free speech during war. There are no human rights either. Finally, there should be no free religion. The pagan religions are the root of all evil and should not be tolareted. Our money and Constitution says: In God we Trust. That God is not the satanic, pagan Islamic god. It's the merciful Christian God!
Now, if ever, is the time for WHITE NATIONAL UNITY! To preserve our nation, faith and way of life: find and kill the enemy within and without!
Damn dewd, that's the funniest thing I've read all week.
I'm fluent in English
Are you sure?
They don't need half assed hobbyis crapware
I didn't think so...
Are you saying that all arabs is guilty of bombing the 'world trade center'? (or is it just me)
That is just plain bigotry!!!
People like you start wars! (and wars are not good)
(unless you are running a country based on weapon industry)
If I had moderator status you sir would be moderated to TROLL.
I don't understand. In what way was Shoeboy not fluent?
You should have seen me when I was your age ;) then I was _really_ insecure.
If you "were" really insecure when you were "my age", then you're pretty much beyond hope at this point. The patterns are set.
I don't think it's proper for open source development to be taking place in back rooms and through private little deals.
You can choose to intentionally misinterpret what I'm saying if you want, but you know what I mean. It's called doing things at the appropriate times and in the appropriate places.
