I first tried AV Linux, man I forget it was that long ago, and I thought it was terrific then, yet I was very green to the Linux world, and even though I have used DAW's both in PC as well as software such as Mark of the Unicorn and Cubase, DAW's still intimidated a guy like myself who were accustomed to old 24 track tape machines lol. I don't even use Garageband on my iMac, and I have worked shows like AES in San Francisco years ago. I do live audio mostly, and all my old boxes have gone to the great recycle bin in the sky, after their organs have been harvested, and I am kind of wary doing any production in laptops, because they can fail on you in the most inopportune time, like say when two hours before a scheduled webcast with a former champion during the opening round first golf major championship that season, and the LPGA is your client lol. That has happened, and with luck we had a rescue image to restore with, but thus why I am reluctant to do production on laptops, and a reason why I have yet to build a DAW.

All this being said, I was wondering since I already have MX installed (with Openbox, as I prefer window managers to full on desktop environments) and config'd a bit, if there is a way to add AV on it, like in a meta package or by packages in a repo? I don't at this point need software like Cinelarra, and I try to keep the repo management to a minimum, and integrating AV into this build (that also is going to have the Nix package manager on the side) is for future builds going forward, kind of creating my own ISO that is not for distribution as a spin, rather just a reproducible custom ISO that MX is great for, but with AV and my own choice of window manager.

Again, congrats to both teams, this is very exciting to see it come to fruition, and thanks for all your hard work.

Hi drummer!

Thanks for the post! Unfortunately MX and AVL are still very much separate entities and at this very early point in time and at this stage of development. AV Linux as a one-man project has always been very ISO-based and MX with it's large community and development team is very repository-based which of course is to it's credit! There is currently no path to crossgrade one to the other at this point in time. That is definitely a future goal of mine but it is going to take a tremendous amount of time and getting up to speed on my part and AVL is already quite a juggle in my spare time.

Yes the 32bit uses SliM and is not Autologin, FWIW this is mentioned in the release notes and also on the webpage. You're correct it's "demo"

Due to the issues in this thread and because there was a last minute update to Harrison Mixbus 32C I have decided to upload an updated and fixed 64bit ISO..
