Re: [TriLUG] Musical composition software

[Roy Vestal]

As for Matt's original question: I'm looking into MUSE as a composition (I'm 
assuming you are looking for manuscript as well as a DAW). It is part of 
CCRMA. There is another distro that is debian based, but I don't have the 
name off hand. I'm going with Planet CCRMA (pronounced "Karma") and FC2 or 
WBEL.

Just my $0.02

   I would agree with this. While not currentally running my audio app 
(Audacity) on Linux, I find that these basic items apply:

1) Apply any/all fixes to speed up Hard Disk access times - hdparm, dma, 
etc. (This was very important on my P2/433.)

2) I shutdown all network apps, mail, browsers. In Linux this is a lot 
easier!

3) Kill everything else you don't need - anti virus, icq, IM. Make the box 
a pure audio processor. Just because you have the latest fast cpu don't 
ignore the basics.
