Do you get satisfactory performance from Audacity? It always seems to crash at the critical moment! Have been looking a Rezound but the last update was way back in 2008. - Chris <div class="gmail_quote"> 2009/7/17 Rob Beard <<a href="mailto:rob@esdelle.co.uk">rob@esdelle.co.uk</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="im">Chris Weaver wrote: > Prompted by a comment by Rob Beard, I'd be interested to see if anyone > is running Ubuntu in a audio environment (work, hobbyist or whatever) > and more specific peoples experiences with it. > > - Chris > </div>Nearest I got was running the open source Rivendell radio playout system on Ubuntu (7.10 I think) although I have been given the task of setting up a laptop for one of my clients so they can take it out on the road and record news stories to send back to the station. This machine will be running Ubuntu 9.04 with a 3G dongle and probably something like Audacity for basic editing. The audio will then be converted into Flac (or maybe high quality OGG to save space) and then sent to the station via SFTP where it will be converted back into linear WAV audio (although the news system they use does actually have native support for OGG and FLAC despite being a proprietary Windows application).
