<html><head></head><body>My first time replying on here. Downloading to try out, I've been using Ubuntu Studio quite heavily for the last 6 months in my work as a classical music publisher and am really happy with the results. Musescore 3 (added as an app image) is excellent for small line ups, up to string orchestra and add Scribus for the general publishing aspect and it meets so many of my needs. Gimp and Illustrator are more than enough to cover the little amount of graphic work my company does. We are stuck with having to use Windows as UK industry defaults to Sibelius which, now runs reasonably well under Wine but is smoother on Windows. Sibelius also handles large orchestral work better so far but I can see in the medium term future that we will be able to ditch Windows. From my perspective the only downside is the lack of a really good quality orchestral VST and the so so renditions created by Musescore playback but neither are Ubuntu Studio issues. I'm afraid I'm pretty low on tech skills and time but if I can help in terms of a different perspective in the music field with anything I will. I'm a dots man first and foremost, audio second. I am excited to test the audio gear out in some recording work for theatre click tracks coming soon as well as more publishing work. Thank you all! <div class="gmail_quote">On 13 April 2019 23:56:34 BST, Erich Eickmeyer <eeickmeyer@ubuntu.com> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> <pre class="k9mail">Hi All, Images for the pre-RC release are ready for testing at http:// <a href="http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/dvd/20190413.1">cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/dvd/20190413.1</a>/ Please log-in to the ISO tracker to log your results at https:// <a href="http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com">iso.qa.ubuntu.com</a>.
