a thread about "professional audio on linux" at
http://slashdot.org/askslashdot/01/10/15/1650217.shtml
e.g.
http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/schedlat.html go there
to get a low latency kernel patch then grab any one of the
numerous linux audio editors (i recommend the art of noise,
audacity, and protux, in that order)
then grab any one of the numerous midi/audio sequencers :
jazz (audio/midi), rosegarden (midi), soundtracker (audio),
muse (midi/limited audio), brahms (midi/limited audio)
then u can go and grab any one of the numerous softsynths
(freebirth, spiralsynth), or a modular synth like pd or
arts which probably came with your distribution.
then there are also the various ladspa plugins, lots of them
at that, supported by most of the above apps.
you can make decent music in linux, dont listen to the losers
with money out their ass telling you that you need 200 grand
worth of gear to make anything, they are just ppl with too
much cash who for some reason assume everyone else either
has as much money to piss away as they do (i wish i did,
id have a pile of gear too ok) or would rather have a pile
of gear than say, a house, or a car.
