I think you'll fit in just fine on this forum. Many of us have similar/relatable life stories. I had a similar dilemma about 4 years ago, and ended up buying a USB audio interface (Focusrite Scarlett 2i2). That was the big breakthrough that got me access to everything I wanted to do in Linux audio. ...

You are working in the medical field if I'm not mistaken isn't it ? Yes, but thankfully not on the front lines. I am a specialist in a rural underserved area, so people wait months to have an appointment in my clinic. Social distancing rules have forced me to change my clinic schedule a lot. I'm on...

Meant to reply earlier, but things have been busy. Pandemics have a way of throwing your life off balance. :) This is a good listen. A very good blend of sounds, and pleasant to listen to. The overall mood of the piece is initially pensive, but turns definitely positive by the end. The lead synth is...

For some reason SoundCloud wouldn't load this on my browser, but I finally got it to play on my phone. It is a fun track, and your guitar solo is impressive! I remember those days of recording with the built-in microphone on a portable tape deck, with open-air "multitrack." Those recordings are so t...

Nice to see you taking some time away from the programming text editor to lay down some audio!

Nice meaty tone on that guitar. Sounds like a jam improv in a dark mood. Reminds me of tones from REM's Monster album.

I picked up guitar first time of my life at age of 43. Rocksmith was first thing to get started. Another thing has been open tunings. With open tunings, I could play something that I like even with minimal skills. And to get better, only way is to play. And keep playing, at least for me it has to b...

Well, I was a bit of a shutter already so it's not like my lifestyle changed THAT much actually :mrgreen: But it did give me some additional motivation to spend my weekends (since I'm still working from home during the week) to try and something more productive than binge watching yet another serie...

Thanks for your kind words, everyone. I showed them to my kid and he was ecstatic. You all made his day.

(His eyes got really big when I pointed to @folderol's comment and said, "That's the developer of Yoshimi." You guys are heroes to at least one geeky kid in this world!)

Another ambitious work, well-executed. I almost wish I was in quarantine so that I could spend some dedicated time on music. (Not really.) You do a good job of telling the story in music. This is a special talent of yours. The composition is very effective, and your sister really does have a lovely ...

This was a good listen. I love listening to my old recordings. After a while the playing errors sound like they're supposed to be there!

This song has a nice feel to it, and I especially like the guitar riffs.

Sounds good to me. I didn't hear the previous version, however. The song is interesting, with a rhythm section providing steady momentum for the cool ambient sounds that come and go over the top of it. It is never boring.

Maybe not so happy, but it fits the mood of this world pandemic. I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks for sharing this piece. I quite enjoyed listening. ("Enjoyed," is maybe not the word. Revision: I appreciated this piece a lot.)

I love the GPL, and I hate to see people violating it. It really isn't about "free as in beer." It's actually about "Free as in speech." The whole point of using the GPL is to make sure that your creation is free and that it will always be free. No, it isn't the only tool for this, and it is not a p...

It was the general midi synth in Ardour with the honky tonk sound. Initially he wanted a fiddle sound, but it sounded terrible so he went with the honky tonk piano instead.

This discussion is really interesting to me. I think there are two kinds of people in the world: those who love music and those who don't. I really don't understand those non-music lovers, but I have come to accept the fact that they exist. Music just doesn't do anything for some people's brains. (T...
