The Book Of Linux Music & Sound

Temporarily out of print

The critics speak:

"I only wish that when I was paying ridiculous amounts of money for commercial Windows applications that didn't work, I could have instead just paid for this book. I hope musicians browsing bookstore shelves today will find this and start their trip into the Linux music community."

Jeff Covey, Freshmeat

"...a good approach to the subject...will keep a lot of people happily occupied...ideal for newcomers to Linux as well as experienced Linux users who haven't got around to having a good look at what's been happening recently on the music making front"

John Littler, Linux MusicStation

"...brings order and visibility to the wide range of Linux audio software...a welcome addition to my bookshelf"

Jonathan Corbet, Linux Weekly News

"...this book is a fine resource for Linux users who have an interest in sound"

David Wall, Amazon.com

"...a 'must' for all Linux users wanting to incorporate sound and create music, and take full advantage of their computer's manifold capabilities in the process "

Internet Book Watch

"In clear, readable language he tells you where to get it, how to install it, and what it will do...Those wide-open spaces are a-callin' to me !"

Jim Aikin, Keyboard (December 2000)

"If you can't figure out what to use to record, or where to find software, this book should be your first desire."

Deric Mendes, Linux Journal (December 2000)

"...a must-have for anyone interested in the area"

Daniel James, LinuxUser (December 2000)

"Anyone interested in making new music in adventurous ways should check out Linux, and this book is an excellent place to start."

Russell Pickett, Electronic Musician (February 2001)

"If you are interested in music and Linux, this will satisfy your needs."

Ashton Mills, apcmag.com (March 2001)
