A good starting point would be the readme.txt of a/demudi music distroit is on the wiki
well start to try to understand jack audio server its the main pieceof a pro-audio linux
box
its very simple to work with qjackctl (jack control)
to record multitrack the best option is ardour. You can plug effectswith lapsca (like vst
for linux)
to have realtime effects creox or jack-rack
no prob with
dvd/cd
try the agnula live cd to see if everything works. Have to say that isa very stripped down
version of this distro. Doesn't includes therealtime kernel.
