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.
