Hi, I am an audio engineer and graphics designer (true vintage - working since 1970). I am totally familiar with MAC and PC and have designed configured and operated systems in both environments. However, I have never used linux, other than as a server.... using written commands only.
I really want to familiarise myself with software on this platform as I teach audio engineering and video editing to young third level students. I want to try Ubuntu Studio to start, but would also like to build something from the ground up, familiarise myself with linux and discover all the hurdles of customising a system.
I am well schooled in all the industry standard apps and hardware/ software configurations found in studios around the world.
I would love to get some of your recommendations as a starting point. Furthermore, some of the teaching I do is on a voluntary basis, and I want to get people up and running who would have little resources or funding for the normal industry standard set ups.

I apologize, I've been out of the Linux/Ubuntu realm for a while now. I used to be in a band that used a custom Linux distro with Ardour installed for recording music. What I do know, is that modern versions of Ubuntu Studio support a wide array of hardware setups and is free, which would work great for startups who want to focus more money on good front-end recording hardware instead of computer systems. The only thing I couldn't wrap my head around was the "jack" configuration. From what I understand, Jack is a software interface for managing audio and digital connections. I'm not even sure how it works. I also know that Ubuntu has some limitations with audio related to how different the drivers operate on soundcards. The last distro I consistently worked with (as late as Ubuntu 8.10) was still wrought with throughput issues.
Sorry I can't help more!

OK, thanks 4da reply ...
I actually finally got my head around Jack. After many frustrating nights. Now everything works like a charm!
I'm now happy as bug in rug.
In fact I'm surprised how good it all works and sounds, but it did take blood, sweat and tears before I got to this point. I will definitely have to write about my experiences and hopefully save other people the hassle of getting started. Now I can finally get down to focussing on the real stuff.. the content.
