[ubuntu-studio-users] Supercollider a fork?

This is appropriately named as it does collide with the intent of Ubuntustudio which is a ready made studio for artists and musicians. This is a /d//evelopment environment/, and although its specific to the needs of people who would use these programs its not quite in the user space, its

Hi, Gord and Howard, I think the fact that all sorts of creative folks can use Ubuntu Studio out of the box is a great thing. Special tools and emphases can be added by the user. Unless one is running really ancient hardware, there should be no need to subtract anything; Howard, et al, do a great

Hi all, Yes, I meant on the ISO. I teach a lot using SuperCollider and it would be great to be able to give students bootable discs or usb drives with Ubuntu Studio including SC installed by default. Let me know if I can help in some way. Thanks, Bruno On Saturday, October 5, 2013, Sudhangathan B

Hi Gord, If I may disagree, SuperCollider is in the same family of software as PureData (Pd) and Max/MSP. Except it is based on regular text-based programming as opposed to visual programming. SuperCollider users use it for anything from music composition in studio to live electronics on stage, as

I agree on all of this. It's not a development environment in the way that you create audio applications with it. You code performances with it. Ubuntu Studio is supposed to offer all workflows, in which these sort of tools have their place. It was meant to be included a while ago already, and

To include on application is not big task at all, but if you would like to help out with our development work, which includes things like choosing applications and in some cases setting up settings for them, you are more than welcome to help. Check out http://ubuntustudio.org/contribute/ On Sun,

The solution to this problem will be fixed for 14.04, namely, the user will have the choice which metas to install. Maybe it might even be worth thinking about per package selection, but this remains to be seen. In your case it sounds to me that what you want to do is not install any metas, and

Hi, Gord. I think 'yet another xxx' is in the very deep nature of FOSS (Free or, at least, Open Source Software), GPLed, etx. It's something good and natural. It's the other side of the one-app-only proprietary monopolic scheme. Maybe it isn't perfect, but is better. And you just live with it,
