Hello everybody,
I am a graduate student at the University of Miami (studying electronic music).
I have installed Ubuntu Studio on our pc in the electronic music studio, and
in order to help myself learn about audio creation and editing in linux, am
going to do a presentation on linux audio and Ubuntu studio in one of my
classes. So first, I want to say thanks to all the UbuntuStudio developers for
putting together a great package! I've been dabbling in linux for several
years now, and have always been frustrated when attempting to piece together
all the necessary pieces of the audio linux puzzle myself.
Anyways, I have a few questions I am hoping some of you could help me with.
First, I want to get a better picture of exactly how ALSA and Jack work so I
can better understand how linux processes audio and how applications can send
audio information to and from each other (which I believe is one of the main
purposes of Jack). I am confused as there seem to be many different ways linux
processes audio like why we have things like Gnome's ESD, ALSA, Jack, and other
things like Gstreamer and aRTS. Second, does anyone have any ideas on where
they think linux audio really shines and/or areas it is still lacking? I am
trying to get a good overall picture of what can be done here and anyone with
more experience than me might be able to give me some insight here. Finally,
are there any strong audio applications that run in Linux that were not
included in Ubuntu studio, or does it come with all the best one already?
I realize this is a bit of information I'm asking for, but if anybody could at
least point me in the right direction (faqs, howtos, manuals, etc) I would
greatly appreciate it!
thanks,
Ben Shewmaker
