(1.) Topics marked as "optional" will be completed as time permits, during project weeks 9, 10, and 11.  See the proposed schedule for details.
== Linux Audio Basics ==
* [[User:Crantila/FSC/Sound_Cards|Sound Cards and Digital Audio]]
* [[User:Crantila/FSC/Sound_Servers|Understanding Sound Servers]]
* [[User:Crantila/FSC/CCRMA/Everything|Planet CCRMA at Home]]
* [[User:Crantila/FSC/Real Time|Real-Time and Low Latency]]


(2.) Where possible, I will avoid replication of material by referring to existing Fedora Project documentation.
== Audio and Music Software ==
=== System Tasks ===
* Simple Recording
* Understanding Sound Cards
** What Is a "Sound Card?"
** How Do I Find Information about my audio interface? (optional)
** How Do I Find Information about my MIDI interface? (optional)
** How Do I Know Which Input/Output Port to Use?
* Understanding Sound Servers
** What a Sound Server Is
** Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA)
*** What ALSA Is, and Why It Exists
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/SoundServers/Pulse|PulseAudio]]
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/SoundServers/JACK|JACK Audio Connection Kit]]
** Phonon
*** What Phonon Is, and Why It Exists
*** Knowing When to Use Phonon
* Planet CCRMA at Home
** What Planet CCRMA Is, and Why It Exists
** Knowing Whether You Should Use Planet CCRMA (including risks & benefits of third-party repositories)
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/CCRMA/Repositories|Using Planet CCRMA Software]]
* Optimizing the Linux Kernel for Audio Applications (optional, but highly desired - at least CCRMA)
** What Is a Realtime Kernel? (including "What is processor scheduling?")
** Using a Pre-built Realtime Kernel from Planet CCRMA (including "Planet CCRMA's kernels may be older than Fedora's")
** Building Your Own Audio-Optimized Kernel (of course, with appropriate disclaimers)
** Other Possible Optimizations (this will primarily be the removal of unused device drivers)
 
=== Audio Tasks ===
I think that I want to change the ordering of these chapters.  The problem now is where to put Audacity; it's not really a DAW, but the other three share most concepts.  Here is the new one, followed by the old one.
 
New:
* Digital Audio Workstations
** Knowing Which DAW to Use
** Common Features
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Recording/Audacity|Audacity]]
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Recording/Audacity|Audacity]]
* [[User:Crantila/FSC/Recording/DAW_Common_Elements|Digital Audio Workstations]]
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Recording/Ardour|Ardour]]
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Recording/Ardour|Ardour]]
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Sequencers/Qtractor|Qtractor]]
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Sequencers/Qtractor|Qtractor]]
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Sequencers/Rosegarden|Rosegarden]]
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Sequencers/Rosegarden|Rosegarden]]
* Synthesizers
* Synthesizers
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Synthesizers/SuperCollider|SuperCollider]]
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Synthesizers/FluidSynth|FluidSynth and Qsynth]]
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Synthesizers/FluidSynth|FluidSynth]]
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Synthesizers/SuperCollider/Main|SuperCollider]]
* Typesetting
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Typesetting/LilyPond|LilyPond]]
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Typesetting/Frescobaldi|Frescobaldi]]
* Aural Skills Training
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Solfege|GNU Solfege]]
* Webcasting (highly optional - would make a great addition)
** Darkice or Darksnow
** Icecast Server
** If I end up covering these applications, tutorial topics can be decided later.
 
Old:
* Recording
** Knowing Whether to Use Audacity or Ardour
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Recording/Audacity|Audacity]]
** [[User:Crantila/FSC/Recording/Ardour|Ardour]]
