That's right! Great idea!

I suggest:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install ubuntustudio-desktop && sudo ldconfig && sudo dpkg 
--configure -a && sudo apt-get clean

This will update repository information and then install ubuntu studio and then little housekeeping. 
Then after restart you have ubuntu studio
