Linux movies website overview

I watched some psychology related films today because of my recent interest for multiple personality disorder (now called dissociative identity disorder). Therefore I don’t have much to write about GNU/Linux or web development. However, I’m going to talk a little bit about a website called linuxmovies.org. This website is about how the movie studios use GNU/Linux to create special effects for the movies. As those of you who followed my Twitter and/or identica feed, I already talked about the site. For this post, I will focus on the Software section. When I first arrived on this page, I only scrolled down to look for the free software. Perhaps it is my habit to believe that only free and open source software should be used on the GNU/Linux OS. Unsurprisingly, there are greater number of free software than commercial software. After looking through the list, I have chosen K-3D, including Blender, GIMP, and Audacity which I’ve already been using. After some usage of K-3D, I personally think that this program is easier to use than Blender once I know the basic usage of the program. Unfortunately, I’m not interested in art very much. Therefore I don’t fell that K-3D has any use for me, except when I want to improve creativity and get some inspirations for my upcoming projects.

5 GNU/Linux Audio Editors that I haven’t tried

Since I switched to GNU/Linux, I only know about one audio editor that is Audacity. I didn’t know about the following five audio editors on GNU/Linux probably because I don’t like music and I used Audacity mainly for editing recordings instead of music files.

  1. Linux MultiMedia Studio
    • Create beats and basslines
    • Many instrument effects
  2. Traverso DAW
    • Innovative UI (User Interface)
    • “Complete solution from recording to CD Mastering”
  3. Rosegarden
    • Audio and MIDI sequencer
    • Score Editor
    • Ideal for composers, musicians, music students, and small studio or home recording environments
  4. Ardour
    • Hard disk recorder and digital audio workstation
    • Suitable for professional use
  5. Hydrogen
    • Advanced drum machine
    • Simple and intuitive pattern-based drum programming
