That and the fact the processor is screwed of course :)<br/><br/>I've used Ubuntu Studio and it's essentially just Ubuntu pre packaged with multimedia tools and a special low latency kernel for recording. There are some other distros you could try though, Musix is a new one I'm interested in and <a HREF="http://64studio.com/" REL="nofollow">64studio is an option</a> on 64bit hardware. It's an area that Linux could really grow into I hope.<br/><br/>As for software apps themselves, I've been looking to replace Cubase VST with Ardour, you should have a look at Jokosher too if you want something a bit more user friendly. It's kind of similar to Garageband on Mac I'd say.<br/><br/>Unfortunately I have a load of studio outboard gear on Firewire and USB so getting drivers for all that on Linux is going to be a nightmare. It's a challenge and I'm gonna give my best shot though. I've heard you can automate some desks with Ardour so I'll be interested to see if my Soundcraft Digital 328 can be made to play nicely.<br/><br/>Good luck with your search too, if you find anything cool I should check out be sure to let me know :)<br/><br/>Thanks<br/><br/>Dan Ah sadly my old studio machine is running XP Pro at the moment, that’s why I need to get the new one in there and dual-boot it asap.

I've burned a copy of Ubuntu Studio but haven't installed it yet (other than in a VM); it's pretty much just Ubuntu with all the multimedia software already installed and a nice theme.<br/><br/>I'd love to find a good Open Source OS/Distro for music/video, but nothing meets my wife's standards. The programs are obviously written by programmers, not by musicians. She's using Denemo for composition right now, but she is less than pleased :-\ What do you run in your music studio?
