Solid-State Mini-ITX Linux Recording Studio HOWTO

Posted by timothy on from the two-gigs-of-flash-aren't-isn't-cheap dept.

An anonymous reader submits "LinuxDevices.com has posted a project howto on building a dedicated music recording and editing computer that uses a CompactFlash card instead of a hard drive, to eliminate hard disk chatter. It uses the latest release from the Agnula (GNU/Linux Audio) project, and the newest Epia MII-12000 mini-ITX board from VIA. The method described in the article applies to embedding most any Knoppix-based Live CD onto CompactFlash boot media."

    Thank god for this. Hard drive chatter totally ruined the last Bizkit album.

    I don't know about modern HDD's but those modern LED's are deafening.

    Professional sound products that can cost HUDNREDS of dollars (and still be difficult to use and hard to understand) need the competition from projects like this.
    Yeah, wow, whole hundreds of dollars ... and have you seen the cost of guitar picks lately? It's outrageous! Too bad Linux can't do anything about that, though.

    Software patents couldn't shut the website down. It took slashdot to do that.
