====== FLOSS media studio ======

Creating and editing media with FLOSS isn't that hard as it used to be in the past. There has been a lot of work to optimize the linux kernel for [[https://rt.wiki.kernel.org|real-time]] operation allowing low [[wp>Latency_(engineering)|latency]] audio processing. Today hardware drivers (e.g. for [[https://wiki.debian.org/GraphicsCard|graphics cards]]) are already included or provided as modules by its vendors and there is plenty of [[https://github.com/nodiscc/awesome-linuxaudio|audio]] and [[https://github.com/steve-vincent/awesome-linux-multimedia|video]] software available.

===== Scope =====

I'll describe how to setup a media studio with [[https://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html|GNU/Linux]] by documenting my installation. This guide may contain configuration details specific to [[https://www.archlinux.org|Arch Linux]], which I'm using, but should be adaptable to other distributions. There are packages and distributions as OS pre-configured for low latency and providing various applications for audio and video like:

to name a few. And I'd recommend to start with one of these projects, especially if you're new to GNU/Linux and FLOSS. But for advanced tweaking and full flexibility, you should start building a custom environment as explained in the [[#articles|articles]] above to fit your needs.
