Ubuntu Studio:  is a multimedia editing/creation derivative of Ubuntu. It is built for audio, video and graphic enthusiasts or professionals. But as it is free and open-source, everyone is free to use. It is an officially recognized derivative of the Ubuntu Linux distribution, which is explicitly modified for general multimedia production. The original version, based on Ubuntu 7.04, was released on May 10, 2007. The main aim was to assemble suites of applications aimed at creative people. Suites including the best open-source applications like Graphic design and modeling applications i.e. GIMP and Inkscape . Blender, Kino, and Stopmotion etc are included for video creation; and Audacity, BEAST, Fluidsynth etc. for audio.

Features

The Real-time kernel was introduced first in Ubuntu Studio 8.04 which was modified for intensive audio, video or graphics work later on. The scheduler allows applications to request immediate CPU time, which can reduce audio latency to a great extent improving PC performance while performing tough jobs. The 8.10(Intrepid Ibex) release lacks this real-time kernel, but it has been re-implemented in the 9.04(Jaunty Jackalope) release, and stabilized with the release of Ubuntu studio 9.10(Karmic Koala).Ubuntu studio offers a lot of programs that can be used for Graphics editing , audio and Video editing at par. These include GIMP, Audacity, Inkscape , Hydrogen, Kino and many more. Ubuntu Studio also includes custom artwork and a blue-on-black theme, as compared to Ubuntu’s default brown and orange. It gives a fresh new look to your desktop. It is available in both 32 and 64 bit versions.

Those who don’t wanna go into history books what it simply does is to provide you with most impressive Open source tools for your Multimedia  requirements like sound video and graphics.

Installation:

There is currently no live version available of Ubuntu Studio, and consequently, no graphical installer. In addition, the disk image is 1.45 GB, too large to fit on a standard CD, and so the recommended installation medium for Ubuntu Studio is a DVD or USB drive . Ubuntu Studio can also be installed on a pre-existing Ubuntu system by installing the “ubuntustudio-desktop” package from Synaptic Package Manager or via APT(Advanced packaging tool).

The Synaptic way :

Just goto System >Administration >synaptic Package Manager and open it .

Then type in search box “Ubuntu Studio ” and select all the packages and mark all of them for installation that start with the name ” Ubuntu Studio” like Ubuntu-studio-wallpapers, Ubuntu-studio-audio,menu,sounds,look,default-settings,audio-plugins,icon-theme,gdm-theme,controls etc. and mark all of theme for installation.

Now, apply changes and wait a little .

Finally , restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

Alternatively, a Dedicated installation :-

The first step is to download the file i.e. .ISO image of Ubuntu studio for which you can use the above links.Now, after the download , burn it into a DVD or you can use UNetBootin for creating a USB installer Disk (read here) and boot from it. The installation procedure is totally same as that of basic ubuntu OS.

Just basic Steps:-

1)Select your language and start with the installation.

2)Select the “Install Ubuntu Studio” option and then press enter .

The installer will scan your Source and your hardware after that.

3)The system will ask you for your username and password you want to set up .
