Editing Audio and Video with PC-BSD
Remixing NIN - The Greater Good
Today I installed Ardour on PC-BSD to test open source audio editing & mixing capabilities on a BSD-based desktop. I found that it’s both very possible and fun! To create the demo video I went to pbidir.com and downloaded Ardour, Audacity, Kdenlive, and recordMyscreen.
Editing Video with Kdenlive on PC-BSD
After those downloads were finished I went to ninremixes.com/multitracks.php and downloaded “The Greater Good” source tracks. These tracks were AIF files, which Ardour couldn’t import, so I loaded them up in Audacity and had them all encoded to WAV format in about 10 minutes.
I imported the WAV files into my new Ardour project and started to arrange a 2 minute clip of the song. I didn’t do much “remixing”, but the point was to showcase the manipulation of sound on PC-BSD. Taking this a step further, I loaded my NIN Ardour project and started recording a video using recordMyscreen.
Next, I opened Kdenlive and imported the OGV video output from recordMyscreen and the MP3 audio from Ardour. Once the video finished rendering I uploaded it to youtube.

Great pix, James! Haha, that’s ironic that ISC, a customer of iX, won the server! PERFECT

I would have to completely disagree with what you say how good PC-BSD is. And for the record, I do not use Linux, I do not have Linux installed on any systems. With the code they develop on top of FreeBSD for PC-BSD has consistency issue, and just don’t think they pay close enough attention to code correctness, I think it gets sluggish. Although my first choice is always to use OpenBSD on everything, I have set up FreeBSD as a desktop system. All I do is select minimal install, populate ports and source, patch the system, compile KDE4 from ports, and I find everything runs better and quicker that way. Once Firefox has been compiled from ports, I have seen it load instantaneously when you select it from KMenu. With PCBSD being developed for people who don’t know any tech stuff, and their own lack of proper auditing of code in the manner of say OpenBSD, I see definite performance issues, and some speed issues. I think it just gets bogged down. So that is why I would definitely disagree with what you say about how good PC-BSD is.
