  Erin S. asked:

  Can anyone recommend a good low ram intensive DAW? I use renoise but it's a tracker and I'm looking to get a sequencer also, but don't really know what any of them are like. This is on a netbook running Lubuntu, 2g ram which is max so I'm very serious about low ram intensity!!

  I like LMMS and use it under Linux and Windows. Hint: to reduce demands on RAM, trying freezing parts you are currently happy with, save the project at multiple stages so you can revert or modify any part. Plugins actively working e.g. vst synths or effects, eat up RAM while calculating, but playing back a piece you have frozen is just wave playback. Only while you are trying things out and getting them right do you need to be processing everything..... .... If you aren't sure what freezing means, it is sort of like printing a draft copy of a document. When it is proofread and you know what needs changing, you edit the original, but keep a backup.

  There is a very good book about LMMS, says it is about making dance music, but it walks you through stuff you need in any kind of music. It is not connected with me, I am not on commission! LMMS: A Complete Guide To Dance Music Production by David Earl published by Packt Publishing. I have a print copy, but I think you can get it as an ebook too.
