Linux as A Musician's OS?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the but-there's-no-protools dept.

lazyeye writes "Keyboard Magazine has an in-depth article about the state of music production on Linux. While it does introduce Linux to the average musician, the article does get into some of the available music applications and music-oriented Linux distributions out there. From the opening paragraph 'You might think there's no way a free operating system written by volunteers could compete when it comes to music production. But in the past couple of years, all the tools you need to make music have arrived on Linux.'"

      You are attempting to add a 28 minute drum solo to this song. Cancel or allow?

      Your 28 minute drum solo may infringe on Led Zeppelin copyright, do you want me to contact your lawyer?
