Thank you dearly for the pointers. I'm not settled on the color scheme of the blog yet and experimenting with the software available. As a matter of fact while I was experimenting with a new host for my music site I discovered that they supported WordPress and was able to fairly easily install it to my new site, therefore I am moving the blog to a subdirectory on my main site. It will now be located at http://airlynx.x10hosting.com/linuxmusic As far as the low latency/realtime issues I am aware of them, however, I have had no problem with them. This is probably because I have used solely distros pre-tuned with low latency kernels and that is what I encouraged in my article. My approach is more towards the musician coming to Linux to take advantage of recording capabilities, which is what I was (and still am). Thank you for the advice though. I may gather some information and make a quick post in the future about low latency kernels. Currently I'm detailing everything I know about seq24 while gathering enough intel to thoroughly cover ZynAddSubFX, I anticipate that will be a fairly long post, but I don't think I can cover every bell and whistle. 2009/8/12 Bengt Gördén <bengan@xxxxxxx>: > Den Tuesday 11 August 2009 23.42.55 skrev Chip VanDan: >> Hey there everyone, >> >> I'm in the process of retooling my website and adding a blog aimed at >> beginners to Linux audio.
