'''64 Studio''' is a free [[Linux distribution]] based on [[Debian]] made for creative users on [[x86-64]] and legacy 32-bit hardware architectures<ref>[https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/testing-30-sneak-peek-64-studio-30-and-ardour3 Testing 3.0 - A Sneak Peek at 64 Studio 3.0 and Ardour3]</ref><ref>[http://www.ericsbinaryworld.com/2008/08/21/64-studio-review/ 64 Studio Review]</ref><ref>[https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/getting-my-kicks-route-64 Getting My Kicks On Route 64, Linux Journal]</ref>.  It is made to serve as an all-in-one solution for audio and video recording, editing, and other forms of media production.

Since 64 Studio is distributed with a [[free software]] license, anyone with a [[64-bit]] computer can install it on their computer (in place of or alongside the well-known [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] operating system). An alternative installer is available for systems with 32-bit processors.

== Differences with Debian ==
The major differences between this distribution and basic [[Debian]] is a custom [[Kernel (computer science)|kernel]] with [[Real-time operating system|realtime]] patches applied, some pre-configuration and a custom [[Package management system|package]] selection designed to meet the needs of creative desktop users. Other packages may also be modified to some extent, as are the basic [[GNOME]] [[Desktop environment|desktop]] themes.

== Releases ==
The project released the first [[test|beta]] of 64 Studio, version 0.9.0 code-named 'Toe Rag', on the [[August 1]], [[2006]]. The release was named in honour of the all-analogue [[Toe Rag Studios]] in [[London, England]].

After eighteen months of development, the project made its first stable release available for free download on [[2006]]-[[11-29]]. It is named Olympic in recognition of the work of [[Glyn Johns]] and [[Eddie Kramer]] at
[[Olympic Studios]] in London.

The second stable release, version 2.0 codename 'Electric', was announced on 27th July 2007. This latest release is named after [[Electrical Audio]], the studio founded by sound engineer [[Steve Albini]] in Chicago, USA.
