So far, I have found Rosegarden and LMMS the best. Rosegarden is very feature rich and I could get going with it straight away - the only thing is that you have to setup all of your soft synths and Jack, so it is more of a pain when you first load it up. Very capable though. LMMS has been amazing fo...

Yes you're right about the large number of RCA connectors on the Delta 1010LT! Maybe too many - I will have to think about how much I want those RCAs!

Many thanks,

Thanks Garry, I was thinking about an M-Audio. I am not 100% what I will need, but will probably want something flexible. I definitely need digital in/out (optical). Do they still do cards with RCA jacks? I used to have an AWE64 Gold with full-sized RCA jacks, but even my X-Fi card only has mini-jac...

As I am considering building a dedicated music machine, the only thing I am not to sure about for Linux is the sound card. Is this particularly important? Does a good sound make much difference in Linux and if so, which ones perform well in Linux? Hopefully I won't be blasting with too many question...

Well, cloning the track doesn't work or even creating a new one, but I found a very similar SF2 and it works fine. It is just one bank of this SF2 that has the problem on export. I can live with that, but I will keep it in mind if it happens to anything else. Strangely, I cannot use JACK for anythin...

Yeah the Axioms do look very nice and very affordable!

Thanks, that's a good suggestion - I will try cloning the track first.

Hi, Since moving countries, I have not had any musical instruments at home and have been writing music with just my mouse - this is fine, but I really like to play with ideas on a real instrument. So, I am looking at getting myself a MIDI controller keyboard because they are relatively inexpensive a...

Thanks for the warm welcom Etienne. I will have to give MuseScore a go as it looks good. The biggest challenge in getting someone to move from Sibelius is to be able to get files to and from each system without losing anything. It appears that you have to pay $200 to buy a plugin that allow Sibelius...

Hi all, Is there an easy way to record "what you hear" in Linux? I used Audacity in Windows to record playback from music composition software, but I have had very mixed results in Ubuntu. When playing back from LMMS, Audacity will not pick anything up at all - I cannot use JACK with LMMS ...

Good day to you all! I say from Europe because I have been living in Italy for a while, but should be returning to the UK soon. I am really getting into the world of music with Linux (as well as Linux in general). It all happened when my internal hard disk died and I discovered that Windows could no...
