Musix 3. Don't know how it fits any of your above criteria, but it does
work reasonably.

I don't speak Spanish.

Neither do I (actually, ISTR that it's Portuguese), but they have many of their pages in English and the ISO offers English as an option.

Carlos Sanchiavedraz on this list is one of the people behind Musix.

@David Christensen:

Hi David. We have a list in english:

https://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/musix-users/

We're are a very modest group of people with few resources, but we put a lot of effort and passion to what we do, we would be pleased to give you support in all that we can.

I'll try to sum up some points regarding Musix and all you've said you are interested in:

- Musix has a a RT kernel compiled by the team (i386 for the moment, 64bits hopefully along the way)

- Musix has been adding more and more languages support (main ones being Spanish, Portuguese, and English), we even had users that translated to russian (IIRC)

- Musix 3 comes in a 2GB iso (for USB/DVD, we could release a CD version as in past versions), I use it in a 2GB USB stick and it has some free space yet once you've boot into it

- We are glad that we still receiving good response and congratulations from users even given it was released time ago

- You should be able to play/record/mix/jam/*.* in RT just OOTB even from a Live USB (just make sure you tweak Jackd to your machine, that is something just the user can do), with Ardour, Qtractor, Rakarrack, Jamin, Rosegarden... and many other already installed

- I've been using Musix for so many years, and right now I'm in the thick of a project where I'm recording/mixing/mastering/*.* from a Musix 3.0.1 running Live from that 2GB USB, no more, no less, so at least something can be done for sure (you can use your inner HD on your machine drive if you need more space, as I do when doing recording sessions)

Last, but not least,please remember Musix is a 100% GNU/Linux free/libre distro (the project is listed in GNU free/libre distro list [1]), so check that your HW is supported with the live usb (our kernel is deblobed -> it has no privative drivers)

Hope it helps.

Greetings.

@David

Thanks (again) for mentioning the project
