Hello all. I'm going to be speaking at a conference of college radio folks in NYC early next month (as I have done since 1992). In recent years, I have been pumping up Rivendell as a cost-effective automation system for college radio/webcast stations, and maybe move them off WinAMP for good.
RD in the main studio is a given, but what about the rest of the operation? There's the production side of things, there's administrative, operations, show prep, promotions, webpage maintenance and authoring et al. I've suggested multimedia distros in the past, such as Ubuntu Studio; which comes with WYSIWYG web tools, audio editors, rudimentary video assembly tools and a MIDI noisemaker or two. Install this on the computers in the bullpen, the programming office and on the desk of the faculty adviser, tie them to the network, and hundreds of dollars have just been saved in software costs alone. Can anyone suggest or recommend a newer or better multimedia distro - other than Ubuntu Studio, and with all the toys - that you have had success with, or at least had caught your attention? Thanks.
