DickMacInnis.com would like to thank everyone who has helped make Dream Studio 11.04 a resounding success, having quadrupled our user base in the 3 weeks since it's release. Thanks to community suggestions, we're proud to release our first fully 64-bit version today!
DickMacInnis.com is proud to announce the official release of Dream Studio 11.04 for 64-bit processors. This is the first official release of Dream Studio in a fully 64-bit version, and while it contains all the same programs and features of the standard release, this version does come with a few advantages, such as:
-Support for more than 64GB of RAM
-Better hardware support for some 64-bit systems, including Apple's 2011 MacBookPro (due to there being no existing 32-bit wireless network driver for these systems)
-Support for programs which could use more than 4GB RAM, such as the included Cinelerra video editor, Blender 3D, or virtual machines which have been allocated more than 4GB of RAM
While this version of Dream Studio is fully supported through our forum just as the standard version is, it's use is only recommended for users requiring one or more of the above features.

I have tested it, skelband, and wrote up a review for Linux.com that will appear someday, when Linux.com comes back online. The short story is it's all full of nice tweaks so it runs better out of the box than Ubuntu studio. It takes less fiddling, so you can install it and get to work. Dick Macinnis is the art director for Ubuntu Studio and a contributor to various projects, and a musician, and a busy lad it seems.
New multimedia-oriented distros are always welcome. Tuxchick -- I know we should wait for the review to appear, but I'm curious -- does Dream Studio ship with Jack configured? What about evil codecs for MP3? And what does it have for video editing (and what are you using)?
Steven, Dream Studio does JACK the right way. It's ready to use with no tweaking and a low-latency kernel by default. Plus it is well-integrated with PulseAudio-- no no, don't cringe, Pulse is actually becoming decent-- which gives you all kinds of extra audio routing options that you don't have with JACK alone. You can always turn Pulse off. I don't know if it has MP3 support by default.
I think DS has every Linux video app there is on the DVD, like Cinelarra and Blender. DS uses the Ubuntu repos and some third-party repos, so all the usual Linux apps are an apt-get away. I'm no video guru, I play with OpenShot and Kino.
That's what I like -- letting the experts do the heavy lifting.
