I think that I want to change the ordering of these chapters.  The problem now is where to put Audacity; it's not really a DAW, but the other three share most concepts.  Here is the new one, followed by the old one.
New:
* Digital Audio Workstations
** Knowing Which DAW to Use
** Common Features
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Recording/Audacity|Audacity]]
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Recording/Ardour|Ardour]]
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Sequencers/Qtractor|Qtractor]]
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Sequencers/Rosegarden|Rosegarden]]
* Synthesizers

** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Typesetting/Frescobaldi|Frescobaldi]]
* Aural Skills Training
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Solfege|GNU Solfege]]
* Webcasting (highly optional - would make a great addition)
** Darkice or Darksnow
** Icecast Server
** If I end up covering these applications, tutorial topics can be decided later.
Old:
* Recording
* Recording
** Knowing Whether to Use Audacity or Ardour

Revision as of 05:25, 25 June 2010

(1.) Topics marked as "optional" will be completed as time permits, during project weeks 9, 10, and 11. See the proposed schedule for details.

(2.) Where possible, I will avoid replication of material by referring to existing Fedora Project documentation.

System Tasks

  • Understanding Sound Cards
    • What Is a "Sound Card?"
    • How Do I Find Information about my audio interface? (optional)
    • How Do I Find Information about my MIDI interface? (optional)
    • How Do I Know Which Input/Output Port to Use?
  • Understanding Sound Servers
    • What a Sound Server Is
    • Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA)
      • What ALSA Is, and Why It Exists
    • PulseAudio
    • JACK Audio Connection Kit
    • Phonon
      • What Phonon Is, and Why It Exists
      • Knowing When to Use Phonon
  • Planet CCRMA at Home
    • What Planet CCRMA Is, and Why It Exists
    • Knowing Whether You Should Use Planet CCRMA (including risks & benefits of third-party repositories)
    • Using Planet CCRMA Software
  • Optimizing the Linux Kernel for Audio Applications (optional, but highly desired - at least CCRMA)
    • What Is a Realtime Kernel? (including "What is processor scheduling?")
    • Using a Pre-built Realtime Kernel from Planet CCRMA (including "Planet CCRMA's kernels may be older than Fedora's")
    • Building Your Own Audio-Optimized Kernel (of course, with appropriate disclaimers)
    • Other Possible Optimizations (this will primarily be the removal of unused device drivers)

Audio Tasks

I think that I want to change the ordering of these chapters. The problem now is where to put Audacity; it's not really a DAW, but the other three share most concepts. Here is the new one, followed by the old one.
