Re: [linux-audio-user] That whole mp3 vs. ogg vs. wma vs. yomamma thing

What, exactly, do you mean by music that could be released by a major label? That really has nothing to do with the tools used to record, mix, and master the music. It has to do with the music and the performers. It also has to do with how the song was mixed and mastered. The tools are available in Linux to do this. I'm waiting for Ron Parker to wade in on this subject since he is running a working studio. Check out http://myweb.cableone.net/eviltwin69/gmc2.ogg. This is sort of a blues tune. Bruce Iglauer at Alligator Records (largest blues label in the world) liked it. I don't think he really cared what it was recorded, mixed, or mastered on. Unfortunately, as with all bands, that one folded due to it's own internal problems. If you want to find some music done with Linux you need to check out Dave Phillips' Linux Sound and MIDI page - http://linux-sound.org/. Specifically the Linux Music On-line section. Jan
