and the Audio Creation SIG.
Detailed Description
Music Creation Lite provides a specific experience tailed for users wanting to record and manipulate audio, while using only packages available within the Fedora world.
In particular, the live CD uses a customised runlevel 4, so that as many services as possible can be easily stopped. This allows the JACK audio server the best chance of trouble free operation during production of audio material.
Included are applications such as rosegarden, audacity and fluidsynth. While a users initial use might show how much fun can be had in recording / synthesizing and manipulating audio, we hope that users might be willing to share their creations with the Fedora community.

- FS-Label: Fedora-14-x86_64-MusicCreationLt
Dependencies
- kernel-rt: Ideally, this spin would use a kernel with realtime patches as found at PlanetCCRMA. Since this isn't ready for F14, this spin instead relies on reducing unwanted system and user services to limit the chances of latency problems.
- jackuser group: There is still some work to do to ensure that the default spin user is added to the jackuser group so that applications can work.
- branding/graphics: have not been worked on as yet. Once F14 graphics are viewable, we are considering adapting them to incorporate something musical/audio into the theme.
- Fedora Music documentation: currently in devel/test
- rough edges:
* grub add second entry to allow selection of boot with normal service startup (rl 5) * add a button (ideally only visible in RL 5) to initiate system maintenance items, via a script. * email icon still present * add a button to request change between maintenance and music runlevels
