LINUX music and sound gets a tune-up with Linux Music & Sound Working with music and sound under Linux is no trivial matter-but the continuing development of music and sound support is crucial to Linux's future success on the desktop. LINUX MUSIC & SOUND takes an in-depth look at recording, storing, playing, and editing music and sound under Linux. __ In his new book, Dave Phillips, a Linux programmer and a performing musician, explains the basics of digital sound and tackles Linux-specific software and hardware issues. He covers general Linux audio set-up, describes basic and advanced use of the system, and profiles and evaluates the broad range of Linux sound and music applications. Readers learn how to: * Record, mix, and add effects to music tracks * Work with MOD, MIDI, and MP3 files * Use hard disk multi-track recording * Explore software sound synthesis programs like Csound * Share sound resources over a network or broadcast live over the Internet * Use realtime synthesizers * Produce high quality scores with music notation programs The CD-ROM includes over 100 MIDI applications, including digital audio and music notation software, games, and utilities, as well as a PDF version of the book with live hyperlinks to hundreds of Internet resources.
