[Fedora-music-list] Late Introduction
Hello, I'm Uzoma Nwosu. I'm a Level 1 Support Engineer in GSS. Just
started in January. Can't say I have any skills. I've been a techno dj
for almost 17 years, now. My radio show was one of the early shows
unofficially broadcasting over the net on wxyc (I didn't set up the
first stream, my dj partner at the time did while he was at Sunsite). I
throw parties. And I am one of the organizers of signal: the southeast
electronic music festival (www.signalfest.com).
What I would hope that we can do is really get the cream of the crop
audio apps in fedora extras. I would really love to see audio have a
higher profile in the linux community. And I gladly help in any way
that I can to promote this.
As for hardware, I've got a SB Live, and an Audigy (can't remember which
one). I'll have an old custom built Amd 1800 with 300Gb drive and 512Mb
RAM that I can donate once I get my new machine in.
I know some of you are way more technical that I'll ever be but can we
have a dialog of the big picture as far as apps are concerned? What is
the criteria for bringing programs in? Is there any way that we not
bring 10 billion audio tools that do the same thing? Oh, and here are a
few apps that I am interesting in helping to bring in:
Mixxx - the closest usable digital dj app that I've found
LMMS - Because it actually works like Fruity Loops a good for early
adoption for novices
Rosegarden - Haven't played with it but here it is solid
Ardour - Played with it, looks solid, wish it had docs
That's probably thinking way too far ahead, but I wanted to get that out
there.
