Agnula DeMuDi
In a world where freedom 'creativity is harnessed, where and' hard to find spaces to express artistic thoughts free from an economic return, the communities' European Commission launched in 2001 a project of Free Software dedicated to music, coordinated by the research center time Reale in Florence with the participation of universities' and companies, the project Agnula DeMuDi (A GNU / Linux Audio Distribution) . The project objectives are to enable all in one area such as music to have access to enabling technologies such as digital recording, audio editing, all with the flexibility ', performance and cost' of free software. Where in Italy is cutting the funds to research and culture, the communities' European Union (project launched under President Prodi), has had the courage and the foresight to launch a project to bring free software to the critical mass, and the to say with this distribution the inalienable right to culture. It 's not a small thing, certainly not very publicized, recently announced, but it' s one of those initiatives that have a huge intrinsic value. The project 'mature now, and distribution' stable full of tools for musicians, recording audio programs, sound synthesis, musical scoring, all programs free, free to take full advantage of the individual contributions. The project also provides a database of music production, royalty-free distribution produced by users, freely distributed under free licenses.
From the manifesto of the project:
Cultural objectives. Providing a sound system based on Libre Software Will Demonstrate the important contribution of Libre Software to truly creative usage of applications, Such as the one expected by professionals and amateurs from audio computing; for the first time, users will be Able to Completely control, customize ADAPT and audio applications to Their needs and to the fullest extent - Reaching blackberries to original and creative results than with pre-canned proprietary software. Also users will have access to special scientific and professional software never calculated previously packaged in complete distributions.
From last night, I too am a user of this distribution, happy that there is still someone who wants to invest time and money in people's spiritual and cultural needs

Original Title: Kurt Elling Esperanca Lyrics
There's a secret That never dies -
of hidden meanings like a song That we never apprehend.
There are questions just as old as time
and as the answers That never quite make Amends.
Even so, When you look at time
Can you get a subtle feeling of the way it ought to be.
Take a good look at your own real life
and you'll see if you want what you've gotten to be.
It's a hope, a sign, a measure of quiet rapture -
of love and what may come after.
It's let-ting go, and letting no answer be an answer.
How did smoke learn how to fly? - Where do birds go off to die?
Why does coal sleep in darkness? - Do dreams live in apart-ness?
Is a number forever? - Where's the soul of the water?
How old is old November? - No one here can remember.
If I die, where does time go? - Do the bees feel ver-you-go?
To get love - there is potion? - Or is love on-ly mo-tion
Lift Holy, holy reading - holy gift, needing holy.
Sound holy, holy waiting - holy spark a-ni-ma-ting
holy food, breathing holy - holy light in-ter-wea-ving.
Holy night, holy hand-write - flight holy, holy in-sight:
Sun holy, holy brother - moon holy, holy mother.
Dream Holy, holy vision - scheme holy, holy mission:
holy one-to-a-no-ther - me holy, holy other.
Holy lives, holy blending - start holy, holy ending.

a good initiative!
I hold you dear quoyle in the background, soft background in the snow-muffled silence of the hateful.
the inalienable right to culture ...
that these days, it seems a luxury.
It must be held dear every occasion.
An initiative that gives hope ...
¬ thing like the music that you put in the background.
almost a month with no connection ...
I can finally return to rileggerti and especially listen to the notes that gifts.
are you okay quoyle
Hello little one. I know how I feel about this subject. pear ² know also my inability telematics. ergo this beautiful project you explain a little 'better alone because © is tiring, but also less fun
good Sunday quo.
Already, already ... access to information, the possibility of expression ... freedom ... From this pass the course, there has the risk that any zappacorde put it into his head to be a musician. But if they come out I will not say a Mozart (which would be a miracle), but only a Rachmaninoff, it would be worth it ...
Hello, I'm Emillo ... one of the collaborators of the project. Use DeMuDi years on all my computers, and I'm happy. The motto that I like most is the AGNULA "There's no free expression without the control of the tool you use."
Hello
PS: Please could you use this instead of that great (you know, As is the banda ..

@ Freesia, are practically iconized then :-)
@ Gypsy, it seems that our world is not for the right to culture, which is extremely important to go where I think all the issues of fairness' and social peace.
@ Aldebaran, one of the many, and the theme 'that are often not publicized.
@ Saishin welcome back! I wondered where I was. a greeting
@ Nut, as soon as we see it is spoken promised, I'm afraid your in-ability 'technology :-)
@ BBslow, no matter, I strongly believe in the right expression as well as the culture and the instruments tend to harness the technological and economic creativity 'leaving access to only a few. Ben is any initiative that sets out a plan for equity 'freedom' of expression.
@ Emilio, happy to have you here, sorry for the image, I slinkata, I can just load on the server space to conserve my banda. A greeting and thanks for the wonderful job you worked closely.
It 's absolutely true, there is no freedom' of expression without control of the means, without the knowledge of the technique. This project allows access to expensive instruments, for anyone, I will use 'Ardur soon to record instead of ProTools, but feel there is a type of audio sampler Kontakt etc on Linux?
Hello
Q
Hello quoyle,
We linuxsampler ( http://www.linuxsampler.org ) that is a player file GIGA (Gigasampler format) and funzia quite well. Support in the future should also akai format, but it's not an editor, just a player. But if you need a sampler with which to create your sounds There 's specimen ( http://gazuga.net/ ) or Qsynth / soundfont for fluidsynth (file. sf2) - There 's for a soundfont editor called swami.
To have hydrogen batteries ( http://www.hydrogen-music.org ) that he is a sampler, in its way.
Hello
Emiliano Grilli aka Emillo
Cool, I needed a player, I feel as soon as possible, I also saw a nice link to libraries of sounds interesting.
But since we feel that advice on a sound card for live performance that is well supported by linux?
Hello
So, as a pci card 2 IN / OUT definitely m-audio audiophile 24/96.
Normally I'm reluctant to recommend the USB card, but I realize that on laptops are almost the only option. I've heard good of perlare roland / edirol UA25
Hello

PS: for the image you can use what you've linked in the first comment (is a thumbnail of that great)
