>Ubuntu Studio is an officially recognized flavor of the Ubuntu Linux distribution, which is explicitly geared to general multimedia production. The original version, based on Ubuntu 7.04, was released on 10 May 2007.
>As of Ubuntu Studio 12.04, the default kernel is linux-lowlatency, which in essence is a generic Ubuntu Linux kernel, with a tweaked configuration to allow for stable operation for audio applications at lower latencies. Since much of the real-time patch has now been implemented into the vanilla kernel, and considering the difficulties in maintaining linux-rt, Ubuntu Studio decided on using linux-lowlatency in its place.
>The scheduler allows applications to request immediate CPU time, which can drastically reduce audio latency. In 9.10, the "Ubuntu Studio Controls" provided under System>Administration permit the user to "Enable Nice", allowing the use of wireless networking and proprietary graphics cards drivers while maintaining low audio latency free of XRUNs (audio drop-outs) in JACK. A more negative value entered for nice reserves more CPU time for real-time audio processes.

This is my latest project that I have been working on. Any tips or criticisms would be greatly appreciated.

[Logan White]

philosophical question coming through for /prod/
is it really necessary to understand synthesis when you never have to touch an actual synth?
why learn all of it if you're just going to slide some virtual knobs and choose a sound you like

[Juan Powell]

Kick needs more variation, I feel. Some of them feel too loud for the context, some need a little more edge. Otherwise very nice and dreamy.

[Xavier Johnson]

Is the Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 a good interface?

[Anthony Young]

its not hard to understand synthesis anyway

it's not like you're learning math or anything

people told me FM synthesis was difficult and too nerdy to get into but I read a big book on it and coasted through it and believe me i have a runty underachiever brain but now i can program a DX7 to fuck

so just learn it, it's really easy so don't be discouraged by how it seems academic because it isnt at all its like playing a video game

[David Morales]

I'll make sure to spice up the kicks. Thanks for the feedback!

hey /prod/, I will share with you my latest 3 projects which have revolved around the jazz style.

This is a jazz-funk piece I did with a feature vocalist (who's from a samplepack kek)

clyp.it/mdaa1bhi

Then some smooth jazz which was inspired by LA Noire

clyp.it/a33hqvgl

and last some jazzy string arrangements I did with LASS

clyp.it/tnx24pgw

All of the above are made by me with Kontakt Libraries.
