DAW in this case refers to Digital Audio Workstation — My current project.

Using what was once my PFSense router, Baker, I’m attempting to set up a Ubuntu recording/editing box for my DJ sets.

This is easier said than done though… Apparently one of my requisites, webcam streaming of both audio AND video for the purpose of streaming said sets is “okay” in linux.
My idea was to stream the audio+video packaged together to a Windows Media Server/Encoder on a virtualized Windows 2003 Server install, then ship that out to the listeners… This is not possible.

I may be stuck just recording sets and shipping them, instead of doing live streams like I wanted to.
At least not live video streams.

I’m thinking maybe I should just install Server 2003 on the machine and skip the Linux host+virtualization.
I’m wondering if a server OS would make for a decent DAW or not. I don’t really see why not, but I’ve been tricked before.

Or I could just skip the video thing all together and stick to audio shows. I’m not particularly charismatic behind the decks, so I think UE is the only one who would want to watch. And even that would just be out of obligation =3

In other news, I’m a Norco Rock Star at this point.
That drug ain’t got nothin’ on me anymore. Though it does help me sleep through the night, which is nice.

More meat!
