[...] As for Behringer, I saw an audiophile forum thread that really takes away from you any desire to try that brand... ever. [...] Well, that audiophile forum is a bit biased then if you ask me. No company "only" makes bad products. Gibson made some bad Les Paul's in the 70's. But every...

Oh, and by the way, I think I'll go Ubuntu for my next distro. It's the best supported one I think What do you mean by supported? When ubuntu talks about being supported it means that the packages are updated and maintained (or at least patched if necessary) for the stated time. However, this isn't...

Focusing on the ISO means serving one group of users, focusing on documentation serves everybody if you ask me.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that.

i was going to say that's the problem with non- rolling release distros, but upgrading Linux Mint would certainly be something to try before doing a distro hop. good luck with the upgrade. I used to be on Ubuntu, but made so many alterations that the distro version upgrades always broke things. end...

libatkmm-1.6-1v5 (>= 2.24.0) is a dep . (i.e., same for compiling as running) what distro are you using? a Debian package search for libatkmm shows multiple version variations. I (still) use Mint 17.1 LTS. I love Linux but hate upgrading it: it's hell. When I try to install this newer version of li...

[...] in the near future DSSI (an old-fashioned way to bridge Windows VST's to Linux) is going to disappear from Qtractor. where did you get that idea? not qtractor's fault whatsoever but yes, dssi-vst is the name of the actual project/package at stake that probably will go into sunset (if not alre...

- Seq64 as a pattern sequencer, Seq64 is a Nintendo 64 emulator. I think you mean Seq-24 which is a Midi sequencer for Linux. ;) https://github.com/ahlstromcj/sequencer64 Thanks for the info! I read on Github: "Sequencer64 is a reboot of seq24". That's nice. Unfortunately neither the 0.93...

@RastaManKing: want instruments? I download them from http://www.vst4free.com.

[...] amsynth I have working on a 14.04 normal Ubuntu as a qtracktor plugin, so it should be working on 18.04 studio too, but do you know a way to install it as a plugin?? Blyme! You're right! I installed the package "Amsynth.dssi" and it showed up as a VST and a LV2 plugin! It resides in...

I don't work w/ Ardour. Sometimes I use Qtractor (which I like a lot). Amsynth is standalone. Don't know if it will work as a plugin in any DAW. Synthv1 is a LV2 plugin. LV2 it typically Linux. I don't know how Ardour works with Linux plugins. All Ardour links that I can find on Google at the moment...

Didn't read all the replies (sorry) but the Behringer UMC404HD that I own is class compliant (and thus Linux compatible) has 4 inputs and in Audacity and other DAW's 4 simultaneous separate outputs (4 track!) via USB. Notice that other audio interfaces only output stereo over USB (i.e. 2 channels in...

In my opinion Discourse is unsuited for sharing info, how-to's etc. It's a nice discussion platform, but this forum is more than that. I would never, ever join Discourse. Except for shouting my opinion 'bout something unimportant.

Well, some mistakes can be called "happy accidents" (quote from Bob Ross ) and some are, indeed, a bit embarrassing. What I often do wrong is to play an extra track in my DAW only to notice that it wasn't actually recorded. So I use a little physical multi-track recorder for quick recordin...
