Cool site to help Ubuntu users get setup to produce some serious noise from their PCs.
his site is for the Ubuntu Linux musician who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It is a wiki with tutorials on how to get the most out of your Ubuntu install, how to get the lowest possible latency, and how to get various music applications configured and working nicely with each other. We are not a spinoff of Ubuntu. We are not a separate distribution. We are not employees of Canonical, nor are we paid for our contributions to this site. We are people who want to make music with Ubuntu, just like you.
To get your music studio system set up, you will want to start at the Studio Preparation page and read it through. It will get you up and running in no time!
Worth noting is:
Discovered that the Dapper 6.04 “flight 3″ kernels, including the one on the iso report the following:
cat /boot/config-2.6.15-12-386 | grep PREEMPT
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
This is something that has been missing from the current “breezy” kernels and seems to suggest that Ubuntu will be offering a basic preemptive kernel that should improve desktop latency for realtime apps like jackd and clients.
Note that this is still not realtime-preemption, and this will not be in Ubuntu until at the very very least, one release after Dapper, but still not even likely.
If you think this rocks, and would like to see *real* realtime-preemption in Dapper + 1, Mark Shuttleworth is but an email address away from you, and the Ubuntu requests forum is here.
