Firstly, thank you everyone for replying. Community involvement was what I desired and is highly encouraging as well.
@hartmut > I have added a workflow for video-postproduction. Comments welcome :-) > Awesome! This is certainly the type of response I had desired :) I am concerned with the number of "video" applications we may be acquiring in the workflows now. Currently, OpenShot, Avidemux, and OpenMovieEditor are all included. OpenShot is arguably the easierst, most user friendly video editor. I understand that Avidemux might not be considered a video "editor" per se, but allows audio to be stripped easily. OpenMovieEditor apparently is JACK aware (I thought LiVes was the only JACK capable video application). Each seems to have a strong point, but I was wondering if it was possible to consolidate these applications choices to reduce their numbers. If an easy solution does not present itself and it is the best interest of functionality to keep all the applications, then it would seem that we should keep all the applications. My suggestion, at this point, would be to replace OpenShot with OpenMovieEditor in the "Create a Home Movie" task. But I admit that I haven't used OME in quite some time and am not aware how it compares to OpenShot in terms of usability and "friendliness". LMMS has a unique concept in terms of usage and workflow that is *not* > doubled by qtractor. I'd recommend to keep it. > I wish that you do not take my statements in a derogatory or hostile manner. However, I think it would be unfortunate if we were to include LMMS (or any application) solely on the arguments presented above. I have previously mentioned validating inclusion of applications to make sure that they support an entire "tool chain" for accomplishing a task. But a second order effect would be to also validate if anyone actually desires to accomplish a particular "task". Hence, my request that someone specify a task and develop a workflow to support it. Can one someone identify a task and develop a supporting workflow so we can discuss LMMS without abstraction. Also keep in mind, we should also consider that if a very select subset of users desires an application, or entire "toolchain", should we include it in the ISO and make hundreds or thousands of users devote bandwidth to download these applications. Especially considering that NO applications are being removed from the archives and can be easily installed with 'sudo apt-get install'. @Jeremy Same here, Qtractor is a multi-track recorder/MIDI composition tool > while Seq24 is a pattern based sequencer.

I would like to discuss Qtractor in two senses; one as a sequencer and another in tandem with Mixxx. Firstly, Seq24 is a sequencer. If one were wanting to create a song in a studio/bedroom using a sequencer then I would suggest that Qtractor might be a better and more eloquent solution. But if you disagree then I encourage you to add information to the workflow wiki page as an alternative (don't delete, be considerate of others work). Secondly, I will frame Seq24 and Mixxx in a 'live performance' environment. These applications are being considered for a 'live performance' seed (along with other applications) which would then present the user with the option to install them during installation. However, I am not very knowledgeable about using these applications in a live performance and feel that I cannot create tasks or wofklows for them in good faith. But, this is where you can assist by appending the workflow wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuStudio/Workflows Please keep in mind, a superfluous task (e.g. this task is to keep my favourite application) or a task that only a very few people might support might not be included in the ISO. We are not removing any application from the archives, we would simply not be including it on the ISO. @saearea-test I bought a laptop in 2008 for personal use.

Again, I profusely apologize for any insensitivity. I want to thank everyone again for their participation. You are helping to make Ubuntu Studio better. ScottL
