I recently introduced one of my more advanced students to Digital Performer 5, but the complexity to a bit intense for him. Ardour2 is still a bit unstable on OSX. I think the Linux version will provide a much more satisfactory experience for me and my students! Again, I can't thank the UbuntuStudio team enough!

Re: CD version
Hey! Not really, just as soon as possible but no stress. I can wait it to be good and with pictures :) Thanks a lot, Luis On Tue, Jul 22, 2008 at 2:52 PM, Matthew Polashek [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi! Do you have a deadline? Matt Luis de Bethencourt wrote: Hello Matthew! I'm the co-lead of Ubuntu Studio. Your story is definetly awesome. Makes me proud of what we have built. I am trying to recollect personal stories of Ubuntu Studio users, especially people like you who have used Ubuntu Studio for something special and community benefitial. Could you please put me up to date with the effect Ubuntu Studio has had in your school. And can you please add some photos of you and your students using it and showing the love ;) I am going to publish in the net a few personal stories with Ubuntu Studio, and yours is perfect. I need it! Hopefully this will bring some attention, make media in free software better, and then your future students will be even more interested, and the circle will continue. Thanks!

I started by building low latency and pre-emption kernels with patches back when you had to do it by hand! I took a PC out of the garbage from my work (Pentium II 300 I think) and building ardour on it. It used to be epic and all my nerd-friends were very impressed I was able to do it! Now I am teaching music in a High School in a gang ridden neighborhood in Brooklyn. It's one of these small schools with 400 students and we are financially challenged, as all schools in NYC are. We have been very fortunate to receive some money for computers from JP Morgan Chase, but there is only one PC in my classroom and I'm still using my Mac Laptop (Ubuntu Studio for PPC please?!?!?!?!?!) running OSX and Ardour2 for my students. I have found out that one of the best ways to get their attention is to have them record music in the classroom. Instead of having students running out of class and literally tearing down my door, they are now running to class and banging on my door all day long. It's exhausting to go without a prep period or a lunch for months, but seeing these students grow and watching their grades and attendance go up makes it all worth it. Anyway, I was able to get ahold of some P4 2.66 PCs for my classroom, and while there is still no funding for software, I have the ability now to give them production workstations to work and learn on. And thanks to UbuntuStudio, I can now configure these machines without the huge time investment that something like CCRMA takes. (I installed the latest FC6 version and still can't launch ardour2 as a non-root user even after multiple e-mail list postings and some excellent help from their developers. Music teachers that are also working musicians don't have that much time!) An added bonus is the eye-candy aspect. The wonderful theme you guys have put in place will hook them really fast, I'm sure! And when they find out they can install this on their home PCs, they will probably freak out! I have had other staff members approach me to do various multimedia projects, but I have had to tell them they would either have to use my personal machines or suffer.
