Music Related Free and Open Source Software?

Posted by Cliff on from the putting-together-your-own-tunes dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "I'm going to a demonstration of some music software products tomorrow night. The music store hosting the event may be attempting to start a users group of music software. This seems like a job for open source advocacy! Anyone know of any good F/OSS for working with music and audio? I am already aware of Audacity and (Free as in Beer) Jeskola Buzz, but what else is there in the realm of sequencers and audio manipulation?" We did another helpful article back in 2001, and another from last August. What musical creations have you put together with any of this software, and others we may have missed?

    check out the agnula/DeMuDi (http://www.agnula.org/) collection of software; they have everything in that distribution! download the livecd iso, boot it, check out the software. everything from synths to drum trackers to recorders, the whole sha-bang. oh, and the dynebolic (http://www.dynebolic.org/) project has a good livecd for audio, too!

    A friend of mine installed Linux, just to be able to run this app.
    And it's a lot of fun to scratch on some Steve Ballmer samples!
