Music 101: The Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring song recipe
Recently I was asked to write a small article talking about some of the tools related to audio in Mandriva Spring. I realized that writing a few things about the tools would be just the same as articles you can find in many websites and magazines. But instructions on creating music step from step from scratch, picking the right ingredients for "the song recipe", are rarely to be found. So I decided to try and make a song with only the tools I had available on Mandriva Spring, and write down how to do it.
Preparation
First of all, I placed some restrictions on myself. As I already have a music background and have a small studio at home, it would be unfair to use a professional music keyboard, low latency kernels, external instruments, etc. It would be defeating the purpose of this article, so I put these restrictions on the project:
* Use tools available from Mandriva Spring base DVD, adding the updates to keep up to date tools and add contrib repository for some extra goodies
* Don't compile anything not in the Mandriva repositories
* Get resources for tools from the Internet
I allowed myself to use my knowledge on what tools to use and how to use them, as passing this on is the target of this article!
