Welcome to the ltsb project

With the linux text-based studio project I intend to create - as you might say - "yet another linux audio guide". In a way that is true. I'd like to explain, how to use linux as a fully-fledged sound-studio. But - and that might be the small difference - my focus is on the linux console (textmode).

This guide is inteded for blind, tuxish musicians and all others, who simply liek the console. The descriptions will sometimes be accompanied with music of my own as a kind of practical demonstration.

What is my musical genre? - It's a diverse field, but there is one genre I wish to exculde for purposes of this project: "typical computer composition". Mainly I want to focus on pop, rock, classic, metal and synth-music. As the name of this project states, I will deal with studio recordings, not so much with big live recordings.

One last note: This project is reachable by ltsb.sf.net, this is a mistake on my site. I mixed up the letters. But anyway, to me it looks more esthetic. :-)
