GNU/Linux is musician's heaven. For most distributions there is a wide
range of audio creation and edition free and gratis software available.
>From simple tracker editors to massive virtual synthesizers and the jack
backend, which requires a realtime optimized kernel. Using Jack, the
unfortunate that don't have a MIDI master keyboard, a virtual keyboard
is available.
Using Jack the user is able to connect his or her virtual music keyboard
to a virtual synthesizer like Timidity++.
Ubuntu users, who are interested in audio creation and/or edition,
should read this article:
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-turn-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon-into-ubuntu-studio.html#more-359
simply copy the next block:
sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop ubuntustudio-gdm-theme
ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins
ubuntustudio-default-settings ubuntustudio-icon-theme
ubuntustudiolauncher ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-look
ubuntustudio-menu ubuntustudio-screensaver ubuntustudio-sounds
ubuntustudio-wallpapers ubuntustudio-video usplash-theme-ubuntustudio
ubuntustudio-theme
Paste it in a terminal window and let apt do all the work for you.
A entry for booting the Realtime kernel will be added to the Grub bootmenu.
Keep on Rockin' ;-)
Cheers
