- djauto23, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13I've been using GNU/Linux, various distros, for making music and producing sound (voiceovers, soundeffects, etc) for about two years now. While it's still lacking some of the top-notch softsynths and samplelibraries in Windows, it has otherwise proven to be a solid piece of work. Especially the JACK audioserver wich is providing a good fundament on wich to base audioapps on. This beats anything I've seen on Windows or Mac, except maybe (maybe) some of the high-end audiocards wich support routing, but it's not as flexible and compatible as JACK tends to be.
Also, now with financial support backing the Ardour project, it seems that the future is getting brighter for GNU/Linux Audio. Good luck to all of the projects involved!
My music, made with GNU/Linux, can be downed at

"To deal with the difficult matter of the popular, but proprietary, MP3 format, 64 Studio uses the Fluendo GStreamer MP3 plug-in."
Yes, it seems.
It doesn't say anything about DVD's, but if you wish to compare, AFAIK Windows doesn't handle neither of these out of the box (XP/2000, dunno about Vista). - gnomon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10Thanks for letting us know.
- schestowitz, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9This seems like a lot of fun...

Sweet! - crilen007, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Whats wrong with that? Instead of offereing 2 with everything, they offer ones specific for certain tasks, ontop of ones for everything. That way you can balance out what you want installed.
- Terc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5this is for multimedia PRODUCTION. If all you want is to watch videos and play music, look elsewhere
- kernsj, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3souljah4jc916,
I think the point of the article is that this distro is for people (music professionals, as the end of the article notes) to create music and video, not to watch it. this is a multimedia production distribution, not a multimedia player distribution. - pyalot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3That distro uses trac, so sweet :)
- October, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2It's important to note that 64Studio also has a 32-bit version. I run this (the 32bit) myself on an AMD 64 primarily because support for Flash under 64bit linux is pretty much non-existant.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1linux is great and easy to use once you get used to it.
it only lacks software houses support.
get me games and adobe's programs etc. into linux and it's the best. - Xilon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well it's well known that Mac OSX has mainly Graphics and Multimedia users, it's also well known that Mac Users are fanboys ;)
- theehman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2If you don't have a 64-bit processor, here's another distro for music production:
http://www.musix.org.ar/en/index.html - decoherence, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0if all you're looking for is to support a couple of specific applications, WINE/Crossover Office/Cedega or VMWare Server/Xen can often do the job. The former eliminates usage of Windows essentially by integrating key pieces of it in to Linux and gluing it all together. It probably won't work perfectly all the time (but then, does Windows?) And people like Adobe probably won't want to support you. The latter essentially divides your system resources between multiple operating systems. It allows you to minimize how much you use Windows, requires a fairly new computer if you want to use it comfortably, and will work just as well (or badly) as a standalone Windows system for most things (interactive 3D may be a problem -- but gamers should look at Cedega, anyway)
- codyman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Does this include Cinelerra.. cause it if does that would be bitchin (I really want to ditch Avid!)
- crilen007, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Window's isn't free, and Linux isn't charging for extra features that should be available in all versions of the OS.
- Xilon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Umm any Distro can be a multimedia playing distro...
- PlasmaMartini, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3Sounds itneresting. It looks very professional
- itisme, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4In nature if you have a restricted gene pool you end up being really ugly and getting sick a lot! :-)
- dhdenny, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0Buried for not linking to the actual project site, but instead to some spamtastic pseudo-news site filled with advertisements and click through links.
- petepete, on 10/12/2007, -9/+4Dugg cos Free Ekanayaka (the lead developer) is a cool name
- souljah4jc916, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0very difficult article to read as it uses a lot of technical jargon uncommon to the unfamiliar person. I think that what people want is simplicity out of this new multimedia syndicate to play music or watch videos through various operating systems, perhaps Microsoft's Vista would be the way to go.
- bias, on 10/12/2007, -5/+0maybe because digg fanboys spinned it to ***** when they heard Vista had 5 Editions? it was confusing for customers and stuff like that?
oh yeah, i forgot all of you are fxxking hypocrites, that's why it's nothing wrong when the same ***** applies to Linux. - aburd, on 10/12/2007, -10/+4Can this multimedia distro play DVDs or mp3s? ;)
- pixelfox, on 10/12/2007, -15/+6I'll be sticking with Final Cut and Logic, thanks...
- bias, on 10/12/2007, -24/+6Linux - 392301 Distributions
Windows - 5 Editions
OSX - 2 Versions
OMG Linux has won the OS War!!!
