Hi everyone :) Which is the best distribution for sequencer/composition? I have Rosegarden4 on Knoppix 4.0 but I can't get any sound (presumably I need to figure out jackd, but Knoppix doesn't have any of the nice Gnome front-ends). I'm thinking of upgrading to the latest Debian (on grounds of completeness) is there a better alternative? Jon.

For me there are only two serious audio distributions: 64Studio (Debian based) 64bit and 32bit or Jacklab (OpenSuse) 32bit 64Studio is stable and has gnome and a nice packaging system, but is also (like debian) a bit conservative with nonfree Software. Jacklab is more about experiments but things like linux-vst and wineasio are part of the concept. Jacklab comes with KDE or E17. greetings, Nils on 64Studio An Th schrieb:

thanks for all the suggestions - I'm tempted to look at 64studio, but also jacklab as I use Suse and find it pretty straightforward (despite diabolic sleeping arrangements :P ) sorry for all the noob qs, but any reccomendations on a (cheap!) soundcard with DIN input as I have a v old MIDI keyboard and would rather pay money for a new soundcard than a new keyboard? then again, can you still even buy DIN cabling? Is the latest MIDI cabling USB presumably?

I use JackLab and I'm happy with it. I was a gentooer before but got tierd of all "system work" vs "music work" on my DAW.
