The GNU/Linux audio environment is very much based on modularity as opposed to the monolithic approach on other platforms. As a result the GNU/Linux audio environment is very flexible and can be considered more an extension of an analogue set up with its intrinsic pros and cons. This is a totally different paradigm than used on other platforms so musicians coming from those other platforms can have a hard time adapting to the GNU/Linux modular approach. The aim of this workshop is to show by the use of a musician's workflow how you can benefit from the countless possibilities such a modular environment has to offer.
