Being a guitarist, back when I was running Windows, I would use audio apps like Cakewalk Pro Audio and Acid to noodle around and do recordings here and there. Now that my desktop machine is running Linux, I don’t really have the option of doing that anymore. My software is really old now anyway and it would be expensive to upgrade it.

The other day I noticed that Freebirth was installed on my Ubuntu machine so I played around with it for a bit. Kind of fun but seemed really basic.

I just happened upon Musix which is a Linux distro that has been customized for musicians and comes with a bunch of free audio apps. Naturally, this piqued my interest so I’m currently downloading the .iso for the Live CD (from a torrent) as we speak…

More later when the download is done and I get a chance to burn a CD and play with it a bit…
