Re: [LAU] Linux mint for audio?

I have used Mint in the past for audio (as well as other things). Although I am not currently using it I did quite like it at the time. For editing, sequencing, drum programming and the like in-the-box I think you will fine. JACK, Ardour, Luppp and Hydrogen worked fine for me when I was on Mint, so far as I remember. But you also say "recording." If that means serious overdubbing or anything else where monitoring and minimal latency are a really big deal you may want a distribution that is specifically set up for low latency. My computer music does not involve this so I can not be more specific. I only know latency is critical in some recording situations. "Desktop" distributions like Mint are not configured with this in mind. If you need super-low latency and want to use Mint it may take extra tweaking. Again, I do not know the details. If you want low latency pre-configured you might consider an audio-specific distribution. On the other hand, if you are like me and your work is not effected by the round-trip time out of the box and back in, go with Mint. It is a very pretty, easy to install, nicely packaged, general-purpose, DEB-based desktop distribution that supports all the best desktop environments. At least, it was three years ago, which is probably the last time I used it.
