Hi all,

I'm getting a new laptop soon, and while I will preserve the Windows 7 
that comes with it, I will very quickly create second partition on which 
to install Linux as my main OS in a dual-boot setup.

I would like to use one of the distros that is intended for multimedia 
work and has features like a kernel tuned for realtime, low-latency 
sound output.  What you you recommend?  My leading candidate at the 
moment is puredyne, but I would love to hear about your experiences with 
this or other specialized distros.

Thanks,
Dave

I would go with fedora core 12 and the planet ccrma rt kernel.

Thanks, Brian, that's definitely an option.  Also kind of cool in that 
I've started using Fedora 12 at work, so I'm learning a lot about it.

I'm considering to set up a linux system. What are the advantages of  
fedora over, say, Ubuntu studio?

Best,

Fedora and CCRMA are very stable and reliable. Red Hat employs the
developer who create the RT kernel patch. I've been using Indamixx
which is based on 64Studio and Ubuntu but I've found that Ubuntu
Studio and 64Studio are not as stable or mature as Fedora/CCRMA so I'm
in the process of switching over my machines. I've personally found
Fedora to be more "hackable" than Ubuntu and found that so far Ubuntu
Studio doesn't really work for me, the RT kernel for it seems to have
issues with Ubuntu while under Fedora the RT kernel works great and
Fedora itself comes with the latest Ardour with all the "bells and
whistles" such as lv2 working "out of the box."

Although Ubuntu looks like they're coming out with their own RT solution soon:

Hi,

The last change to that page was in 2008....

So it seems the project is somewhat stalled. Although there is already
an rt kernel in the Ubuntu repositories it's not as good as the CCRMA
kernels or a self built kernel.

Cheers,
Andrés

Yeah that's the issue I had with Ubuntu, I didn't check the date on
that page. Fedora is a lot more stable. I found Indamixx is low
latency, but its a commercial distro that costs money, while Fedora
and CCRMA do just as well and are free. The only reason I may have to
keep Indamixx on one machine is that it has a touch screen and so far
from the boards I've looked at Fedora may have some issues with touch
screen tablet pcs.

I've been using the Debian-based 64 Studio 2.1 for a few years as my 
primary system (64-bit). It is a remarkably stable system, comparable to 
Planet C (which I used for years before trying 64 Studio). Alas, it's 
also rather old, and I agree that the beta versions of (now 
Ubuntu-based) 64 Studio 3.0 are likely to be not so stable. I've tested 
the 2nd beta but got diverted by other work.

I'm also using two Ubuntu systems, 9.04 Jaunty and 10.4 Karmic. Both are 
used as test platforms for new software. Configuring Jaunty for 
low-latency rt was a nightmare, but configuring Karmic was a comparative 
breeze. However, both require some manual tweaking, as does Planet C, IIRC.

Both Jaunty and Karmic have proven to be good systems for development 
here, if that's what you mean by hackable. I prefer to compile my music 
and sound software, I've had few or no troubles building Ardour, 
LinuxSampler, Csound, and so forth.

The boxes here include two machines based on AMD64 CPUs and a notebook 
with an AMD Turion. Audio hardware includes M-Audio Delta 66 interfaces, 
an Edirol UA-25 USB audio/MIDI interface, and a SoundBlaster Live with 
external MIDI hardware. All the audio hardware is fully supported by 
ALSA, the Linux kernel sound system.

HTH,

dp

Thanks everyone for the replies. I reckon I'll give fedora a shot then  
(I actually have ubuntu installed on a different computer but have not  
really had time to explore it) but it was a total nightmare to install  
it :-)

As I use more and more of ardour and csound I should be able to  
eventually move to linux without missing my os x too much.

Thanks,

Peiman

Echoing Peiman, thanks everyone!  I'm still interested in puredyne, but 
now I'm seriously considering Fedora 12 with Planet CCRMA.  It's 
especially attractive since I am now using Fedora 12 full-time at work.

Hi Everyone

I'm thinking of going down a similar route.

After a fair absence from all this (mixture of "real life" & attempting to
study & learn more about classical music armed with the internet & a copy of
Garritan...), I recently tried installing csound 5.11 on my windows SP1 /
cubase SX2 machine, but ran into conflicts.

I haven't raised it because the issue was basically if i installed csound,
cubase SX2 failed to run at all, & that's not really the csound's
community's problem as such, & my windows set up is otherwise functional &
useful despite being dated, has lots of plugins etc etc - so end of story. -
no more windows csound for me. (as i'll never buy another windows PC..) -
but if i leave the current windows set up alone, it's pretty useful to me
for another few years yet i imagine.

but i'm pretty keen to get back into doing some csound oriented stuff & so
spending a couple of hundred bucks on an old desktop machine to run a linux
distro (now that i am living somewhere where i can get ADSL2 access... my
previous "big issue" with trying to go Linux) probably seems like the way
forward...

My main concern however is useability & ease of set up in the first instance
- should i also try the Fedora / CCRMA mixture?

Running csound & ardour would also be my primary objectives - would probably
still do most of my DAW "mixdowns" & final arrangements on the old windows /
cubase setup (has good mastering effects etc etc..) - Oh, & python of course
for complex / repetitious .orc / .sco creation... (but that should be a
given really...)

Also some of you may recall i had various issues exploring resynthesis types
(esp loris & ATS) on windows at various times - so hopefully Linux would
also open up a lot of this area to me more sucessfully as well.

So just primarily fishing for a push & any advice or thoughts before going
out & blowing some cash on some hardware i guess. 

I still am yet to compile or manually install anything on Linux. Although I
am using ubuntu on a similar bargain basement PC to do all my net stuff
these days - but synaptic package manager handles all installation issues
there (hooray!)

also assumedly if i like the linux box enough & get a high grade soundcard
for it eventually, it's likely to be a USB / firewire rather than PCI slot
card these days? 

Will i be able to get low latency happening ok in the short term off a
standard motherboard soundcard?

My main realtime "activity" is using FLTK interfaces to set & write custom
PVOC mask settings out to txt file, for loading them back into a separate
rendering orc. Is there a better front end for doing this kind of real time
"parameter tweaking" these days - & on Linux? - again ease of setup & use is
my main criteria, as I've been nearly 2 years out of the loop here

thanks guys & gals. Yet another attempt at making a "csound comeback"....

Tim

Hi,

I haven't looked, but maybe the package available for ccrma is 32 bit
only? Can you see any other csound in synaptic (or the package
manager?). In debian it's the other way around, the package is 64-bit
only.

Cheers,
Andrés

Thanks for the reply Andrés. No I can't see another package :-(

Well that's no good! I'm gonna have to either built it myself (rather  
not have to go there) or think of a different distribution. I remember  
that on Ubuntu studio they had csound double but fedora is running  
much more smoothly on this machine than ubuntu was. I'll write a post  
to planet ccrma mailing list just in case.

Thanks

Pd and chuck are in there, I think the csound is from fedora, I always build mine from source, but scons makes it easy to build csound.

Hey Peiman,

I tried Puredyne and everything worked out of the box, including my
laptop macbookpro wifi. Installing software was pretty easy because of
the debian/ubuntu package system.

Fedora + PlanetCCRMA are just the same. Yes, maybe the documentation
is not the best, but it's all there and the community can help a lot.
Most of the time the solution is pretty simple.

Cheers!
Bernardo
