<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Dear Hartmut, thank you for your compassion. I bought a laptop in 2008 for personal use. At that point I wanted to try Ubuntu Studio but it stopped very quickly because of the non-working wireless connectivity. I only had a wireless connection available in the basement. I installed Linux Mint and it has been working very well. I've also moved twice within the last year and have not gotten my music equipment up and running. Nevertheless, I've been reading all emails in this mailing list and it seems the best setup for Ubuntu Studio would be a desktop PC with a wired network connection, a firewire audio adapter and a MIDI controller that can be plugged in into the GAME port. I had gotten myself a USB audio adapter and a USB midi controller. From what I've learned here, USB seems not to be a very good choice. I am still in the phase of deciding what to do next, and that requires time and money (neither of which I have plenty of, currently). Thank you once again for sharing your knowledge!

Looks great, but I am sorry that I can't test it. Sad - any particular reasons? You can simplyfy the workflow if you skip the avidemux-excursion. You can record the given soundtrack in Ardour as it is being played in OME. Less elegant but simple and just works ;-) Also if you do not need MIDI-composing, you can work it out with Ardour and OME alone... good luck :-) HZN > > Best regards, > > Stefan > > > > --- Hartmut Noack <<a ymailto="mailto:zettberlin@linuxuse.de" href="/mc/compose?to=zettberlin@linuxuse.de">zettberlin@linuxuse.de</a>> schrieb am Sa, 30.10.2010: > > Von: Hartmut Noack <<a ymailto="mailto:zettberlin@linuxuse.de" href="/mc/compose?to=zettberlin@linuxuse.de">zettberlin@linuxuse.de</a>> > Betreff: Re: Tasks, Workflows, and Packages for Ubuntu Studio Natty > An: <a ymailto="mailto:ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com" href="/mc/compose?to=ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> > Datum: Samstag, 30.
