Masterbate With Teddy Bears

AVLinux: un flavour multimediale di Linux

AVLinux recent months has made its appearance on my machine consumed. I was very curious about this new flavor of Linux as many of his OWN carattirstiche an undeniable attraction to people like me breathe audio every day.
AVLinux is not a real distribution, but as the author says is a snapshot and is intended to be used as is; this does not mean you can not install other packages, are in fact available repositories of Debian Lenny.
It is precisely a Debian with 2.6.30.1 kernel with realtime preemption and land, and as a desktop environment LXDE mounts (or alternatively Xfce), which is very light.
The graphic theme used is dark, enjoyable and usable. But looking at the audio package that is what interests us most.
AVLinux has a very large number of-date software such as Ardour 2.8.1 with support for VST and LV2, LADSPA plugins calf and invade and LinuxDSP which you can find a review on this blog.
are also the latest versions of Audacity , Rosegarden and Hydrogen and a surprising Bristol functional even under Jack .
The surprising thing now is that everything works out of the box and for those who have their hands on Linux for a while 'know what this is rare.
Personally, I was able to achieve a latency of 2 / 3 milliseconds to 48 KHz by turning Ardour approximately forty audio tracks with different ladspa applied without incurring any xrun.
I could finally enjoy the large number of synthesizers offered by Bristol that I found quite stable, I found very smart management drumkits in version 0.9.4 of Hydrogen, and I was impressed by the overall quality of the signal processors LinuxDSP.
interesting audio portion is flanked by an equally interesting part video that includes programs such as Avidemux , Cinelerra, Kino and Kdenlive , but given the theme of the blog, I think is to do an in-depth elsewhere and especially with more competent moderators.
For those who approach for the first time the audio on Linux o per coloro che non hanno tempo di settare una macchina, AVLinux può essere un'ottima soluzione proprio per la sua caratteristica di funzionare bene sin dal principio.
