are still on Samplitude....

O, with Linux the same applies, you need to install LADSPA plugins,
depending on what you are running, in Debian "apt-get install cmt
tap-plugins " . (installs main ladspa plugins, of course there are more).
However, running Linux, personally i prefer Rezound to Audacity. For some
reason the mixing results are much better. If your copy of the vinyl
record has its' frequencies all around though, JAMin could be of much
help, as you will be able to quickly see and fix the problems. All in all,
a combination of jack, Ardour2, rezound , JAMin and a really good file
manager (i use XFE) gives a really powerful audio station. I never looked
back to Samplitude or Cool Edit Pro.

I still have a copy of Samplitude Studio 4.0. But it's a Windows based
application. I left Microsoft after Windows NT 4.0. I really couldn't
forgive Microsoft for changing their Operating System so much that user
programs (3rd party) like Cakewalk and Samplitude Studio had to be
upgraded to the new operating system as well. Let's see, that was $200
for the new Microsoft operating system, then another $100-$300 to
upgrade each of your music software; then repeat the entire process
every 2-3 years. No way.
I've been running Linux distributions ever since. Their are many fine
Linux distributions running sophisticated music/midi applications which
are none to minor cost, and allow you total freedom to do with the
software as you wish.
The Audacity 1.3.5 version I'm running has an effect called Bass Boost.
You set which frequency you want to boost and how many dB to boost by.
Very simple to use.
But yes, Rob, there is a learning curve with Linux. Perhaps there is a
local Linux group in your community to help you out. Do a Google search
on Linux Music and you'll get lots of hits. The mailing list I
subscribe to is the Linux Audio Users Group:
http://lad.linuxaudio.org/subscribe/lau.html
Just like the Lute List, you'll find professionals, amateurs, and
hobbyists on the list. The postings are also archived.
A website that is still very helpful is:
http://linux-sound.org/
Lots of information about Linux music apps, documentation, and music
made with Linux.
For your consideration,
Stephen.
