Here's a little video I recently made. The video sequencing was done with Imagination; background track with MMA; audio mix Audacity (all on linux). Only the actual recording was not on Linux ... direct to a digital recorder connected to my mixer.

Hope you all enjoy. Sort of sentimental for today's audiences ... but I love old show tunes :)

I've been a user of MOD Plug Tracker on Windows making chiptunes.  I've tried using wine, but it crashes too much.  Does anyone have any suggestions for a good tracker for Linux?

I have the onboard card, used as the general listening device and a Lamba USB running Debian Sid.

Problem 1: Websites, i.e. U-Tube, stopped playing. I believe this is a 3.2 kernel problem, they played in 3.1. Anyone encountered this? Whose bug?

Software such as Timidity and VLC did play in 3.2.

Problem 2: Line input to the ALC861 not functioning. Could be hardware but these things usually do not die.

Problem 3: Jack will not start. Error is:

Thu Feb 9 11:49:46 2012: JACK server starting in realtime mode with priority 10

Thu Feb 9 11:49:47 2012: control device hw:1

Thu Feb 9 11:49:47 2012: control device hw:1

If this new user already has Ubuntu installed then perhaps a better option would be KX Studio, as it can be installed as an overlay to an existing installation. That said, it's probably not the friendliest install. Not that it's hard to do, but it involves a few more steps than normal. It sounds like your friend might be up to the task, though.

Cheers,
Ernie

IMO it will be hard to make him switch to AV when he is using ubuntu already.
Not that its a bad idea to use AV for A and V . But i still find gnome more user friendly and ubuntu allows you to easily install other non-AV-specific stuff.

This seems like a good suggestion. He's allready installed ubuntu
studio and is playing with it, I'll burn him AV 5.0.3 when it gets out
so he'll give it a try.

Well, actually I was surprised he was able to install ubuntu aside
windows, do internet and start playing with Ardour, all in a couple of
hours and without help or much prior knowledge - that definitely wasn't
my first linux experience years ago. Things have really gone a long way.

cheers,
renato
