Hi Batz, Hope that Fedora works out for you - as others have already said, it's possible to get linux audio working on any distro, but it is more/less work depending on how well your components are supported. > Yes that's pretty much exactly what I'm saying.

I just followed the instructions on the LS site and compiled/installed from source. There are several libraries that need to be compiled/installed before it will work, but it is well documented on the site. You probably do need to get jack working first though.. I would recommend qsampler as the GUI frontend to LS. Regarding creating/editing samples/banks - I'm not sure what you are after. My workflow (if I wanted to get sample-based instruments into fluidsynth) would probably be: 1) run jack (using qjackclt) 2) Linux-based synths: zynaddsubfx/bristol/AMS/phasex/... others? with audio output routed (via jack) to: 3) time-machine (note - if you wanted to make "wet" samples, you could route the audio output from the synth through something like jack-rack to run some ladspa effects before routing on to time machine). 4) load audio snippets recorded using time machine into: 5) Audacity - edit samples, normalise, maybe add effects? 6) Make soundfonts using Swami (or if using linuxsampler as playback engine maybe make gig files using gigedit, or maybe sfx files with hand-editing a text file).
