So, please have a look, but be nice until the slashdot effect wears off, which has already begun. Here's my intended announcement posting: Hello - I am happy to announce the first release of my Turn-key linux audio installation package. I am currently releasing it in two forms: 1. The COMPLETE installation bundle: Including open-source music apps from nearly all categories (editing, mixing, synthesis, etc), as well as Eastman Computer Music Center-specific scripts, utilities, tutorial examples, and templates and macros for Csound, Score11, PVC, SMS, Vspace (an ambisonic/multichannel tool). Installation is as easy as executing a single script (./install.sh). This first bundle is currently Mandrake 9.0 specific and is ideally installed on top of a new installation. A listing of included apps as well as complete installation/configuration instructions are available within the tarball and at the website "explore" page. Go to: http://www.esm.rochester.edu/kevine/turnkey/ 2. A smaller 'ECMC tools' bundle (not Mandrake-specific): Containing the Eastman Computer Music Center-specific tools only -- homegrown scripts, utilities, tutorial examples, and useful templates and macros for Csound, PVC, and Vspace (these core apps are also installed...Csound is downloaded and built at installation time). A complete list can be found, again, on the "explore" page. In addition to applications, both packages include a system of tcsh environment variables and aliases for *nix audio workstations. See the "quickstart" guide for a further introduction. http://www.esm.rochester.edu/kevine/turnkey/quickstart.html Kevin kevine(a)esm.rochester.edu __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
