Hello and welcome to the LinuxMusicians Wiki.

This wiki aims to support the learning and discovery of music composing & production, home recording and audio engineering on GNU/Linux. Whether you are a professional or hobbyist; producing or recording; live or canned; new or old; digital or acoustic, we hope you will find valuable resources and references here.

If you can improve this Wiki or can add some useful information about working with Linux as audio workstation, you are free to do so!
