After another major change in my life, including moving 2000+ miles, again, I'm nearly in a position to get fully re-booted. In the process, I hope to clear off my newest & largest hard drive, removing my current Debian 7/Windows XP duel boot setup, and use one drive, for Linux, one for windows, and a 3rd hard drive each OS can share for virtual memory. I'm going to start with Debian, Jack2,

I'm pleased to announce I've finally finished mixing and mastering, what might qualify as an album. While I've been using Linux for about 10 years, and playing guitar for over 35, there was a lot to learn. This is the end result. Let me know what you think. The bulk of this was recorded with Ardour. On a few songs, I did the first 2 initial tracks with Audacity. As I was learning to do things

Most by now have heard of open source software, aka GPL where in essence the software is free to obtain, edit and even redistribute, as long as you aren't profiting from some one else's work, and the actual author(s) get credit. Well, it seems other aspects of electronic media are finally catching on, and to think it only took 20 years! Now you see an increasing assortment of either Creative

If you have ever considered creating your own music recording studio at home, you might have some misconceptions about what it actually takes. One of the purposes of this blog is to dispel these myths. As my previous posts point out, even a 10 year old computer can be turned into an audio workstation capable of producing high quality stereo audio. (hint, the secret is LINUX!). Using an open

Greetings fellow netizens! My first post here talked.. er rambled about how the Windows operating system isn't really ideal for use as an audio work station, unless you have very current hardware, and have optimized the operating system, as much as it will let you at least. Linux based operating systems are much more suited to the task, and can transform an otherwise outdated collection of

Howdy and thanks for checking out my blog's first post ! \o/ My name is... uh, not Jack. My friends call me Dewed (rhymes with food) but I'll introduce Jack in a little bit. There are a lot of musicians out there and while I certainly say hey to you all, I'll mainly be talking to those that are recording their original music at home, or would like to start their own home recording studio.
