Hello all,
I'm a major contributor and volunteer at Mandrake, and I've been working
to get Mandrake up-to-date and more complete with regard to audio
applications, so I thought this would be a good place to come for
advice. If you have a few minutes, please answer any of the following
questions you can. Doing so will help make Mandrake 9.1 the best audio
distribution on the planet...
1. If Mandrake 9.0 is your primary distribution for audio, what is your
#1 complaint?
It is not my distro.
2. If Mandrake 9.0 is not your primary distribution for audio, why not?
What is missing or what has turned you away?
Just never tried it. Started with Redhat. Still there, if not a bit
frustrated at times. ;-)
3. What audio applications are we missing (please check current list
provided below, as many new apps have been added since 9.0)?
Ardour
qjackconnect
kaconnect (is this your aconnectgui?)
amSynth
Swami
SpiralSynthModular
rtSynth
freqtweak
4. What thee audio applications do you consider the most
valuable/important? (do not include alsa, jack, mixers, or ogg/mp3
players/encoders)
Ok, well Jack _IS_ the most important, since it's what makes it all
work, but for me it's Ardour & Rosegarden, and then a whole host of
emerging soft synths that support Jack
Thanks very much. I appreciate your time, and please
let me know
personally if there is anything else I can do to make Mandrake more
audio-friendly.
If there is a good site on building Audio apps from CVS for Mandrake,
then I'd like to read that. I'm not a software guy and am looking for a
distribution with targeted info of this type.
Thank you!
