Hello, everyone... First let me say I'm incredibly new to Linux, so much
so I have yet to install a distribution though I plan on doing so
sometime in the next couple of weeks. I realize my questions are not
very specific and it may be a while until I can relate entirely to the
answers as I currently have no practical experience with Linux as of
yet. If these questions are best addressed elsewhere or there are other
resources I'm not aware of, please let me know. I have been researcing
these questions on the web somewhat, though with the constant state of
development regarding drivers and audio support within Linux, it seems a
mailing list is a resonable outlet for these questions.
Bascially, what I'm trying to do is use Linux box with the primary
intention generating a complete CD of electronic ambient music using no
MIDI devices other than a controller - most music will probably be coded
in csound. What I am particularly curious about is the use of csound in
realtime when driven by a sequencer, I'm hoping to use KeyKit. Is this
possible or has it been known to work? I'm also wondering how csound
functions as a virtual sampler. By the way, I've also posed this
question to the Linux csound list.
Eventually I'm hoping to digitally transfer field material recorded with
a DAT recorder, it seems like the only possible sound card available
that might do this supported under OSS is the Sonorus Studi/o - does
anyone have some experience with this card?
I'm very curious also if anyone has completed any commercially released
CDs using Linux as the sole platform for composing and recording.
Thanks,
Ian
