The main Ubuntu Studio packages you will want to install are:

ubuntustudio-audio
ubuntustudio-audio-plugins
ubuntustudio-video
ubuntustudio-graphics

That is really all there is to it.  As Mike says, you can use Synaptic
Package Manager (found under the Administration menu) to do this.  Or,
you can open up a Terminal and type:

sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins
ubuntustudio-video ubuntustudio-graphics

The rest of the ubuntustudio packages are optional, and mostly relate
to desktop theming.  Once upon a time it was a bad idea to try to
install the Studio theme on a vanilla Ubuntu install, but I think that
is no longer the case.

If you want specialized kernels (and you probably do if you plan to
work with audio), at this point you will need to add Alessio's PPA to
your software archives.  You can find out more about that here:
