Hi

I was talking to a friend about music production & he uses a windows workflow. Does anyone know of a good web page that gives a basic explanation of how & why to make music in a FOSS environment?

Website? Dunno. I too am interested to hear any recommendations here.

For an intro and general overview to FOSS music making, I'd recommend the AVL6 manual.

http://www.bandshed.net/pdf/AV6Manual.pdf

Of course, make them aware of KXStudio and Dreamstudio etc too

They should then have a play with both Ardour and qtractor, decide which suits them best then read the appropriate manual if/as required. The qtractor manual is linked on its homepage and then http://en.flossmanuals.net/ardour/ for Ardour.
