This is interesting. You don't have to install the software to run the programs. It all runs on the CD.
Any opinions?

Re: A studio that runs on a CD...
That seems odd. If you don't have 650 MB to install recording software, then you're not exactly going to be able to record very much audio. It's like marketing an edible car - interesting, but not the greatest synergy.ken wrote:http://www.ferventsoftware.com/

The thing is called StudioToGo, so I don't think it's the drive space issue. It seems instead to be a combination of consistent portable utility (being able to boot into your DAW environment anywhere) and fanciness (full Linux OS bootable from a CD with a GUI and everything... fancy).joshw wrote:That seems odd.

Mmm.... car.
A better question is "where does it save your audio?" I doubt it mounts the hard drive, so that means recorded files get put on a ramdrive and... yeah, I don't get it.

Those are all good points.
I just wonder, if you can store the audio on a clip drive, are you going to be recording a whole band at 24bit? Even one song wouldn't fit, much less an entire album. Maybe this is targeted at taping meetings or something simple like that.

It's a branded Audacity with some other stuff. I'd wager it runs on Knoppix, since that's the linux version that runs off a CD and configures itself to just about any kind of hardware.
