Thanks. Libre Music Production seems to have some great tutorials. The hard part to me is to keep everything configured even across different Linux installations. I think that starting keeping my /home folder in a separate partition might help, but I'm not sure if this is the only thing I need to do...

I'm sorry; by PCM blocks I meant audio clips. Actually I haven't tried dragging-and-dropping audio, what I tried was creating a new audio track and when I did that I would only hear microphonics (I'm not claiming it was the application's fault; it could be due to some issue in my setup). I'm sorry i...

Hello, I'm looking for a certain environment for composing instrumental music and I'm investigating if Linux suits my needs. My current hardware setup is a Core 2 Duo PC with 2 GB RAM and dual boot (Windows 7 and an outdated Tango Studio install), a MIDI keyboard and a cheap USB-MIDI cable. I'd like...

Well where there is a will there is a way. There are some great linux instruments out there. However if I had to choose the top way to make a convincing simulation of another non keyboard instrument then I would invest in some sample disks in GIG format for linux sampler. They will cost you but the...

Hey AutoStatic, tell us your secret, this is just too good :D What is that effect at the very beginning of the song? I'm trying to find something just like that to simulate a low resolution radio sound (the vinyl effect plugin didn't work for me -- if nothing else works I guess I'll just try reducin...

Hey AutoStatic :D They should work together fine! Create a MIDI track in Qtractor, start up ZynAddSubFX (or Yoshimi), connect Qtractor:Master (under Output Ports) in the ALSA tab to ZynAddSubFX (Input Ports) and your keyboard that should be listed too to Qtractor:Master (Input Ports) and you should ...

yea, I'm trying to make a real guitar sound using "Realguitar", a VSTi. Realguitar is easy as pressing a key, in fact you can even play cords playing 1 key. That way you don't make cords that wouldn't be possible or unrealistic on a real guitar. I have been trying to find out what VST plu...

Thanks a lot for your reply :) the player may be an extraordinary piano player but doesn't understand a guitar, or a mandolin, or a flute. Not understanding them leads to creation of parts that are just not apropos for that instrument nor the choices the instrumentalist of that instrument would choo...

Hi fellow Linux composers, I had it coming all along -- you can create very interesting stuff with your computer and a basic keyboard for MIDI input, but they will only sound decent if you limit yourself to certain musical styles and instruments. Otherwise your music will suffer from that terrible '...
