Anybody else here use Linux?

Post by Torque »

I'm actually surprised by how good some of the audio apps are on there. I'm giving some of these things a good test run and most of them actually work real damn good. AND THEY'RE FREE!!

I use Linux and Solaris all the time at work, but I stick with windows for music.

i use linux for my internet workstation and openbsd for anything network related. I use neither for audio. i wish that the audio apps that i like were available for linux because gentoo makes it really easy to build a stripped back, specifically purposed machine. much nicer than what window's hardware profiles allow me to do.

I'm having a hell of a time getting my firewire soundcard to work at my home studio but i have an old laptop that i installed ubuntu on and use audacity and ardour and they seem to do the trick for me. I also have the feeling that a way to use the windows and mac programs inside of it are not far off now.
