Sorry @Death, it was a bad joke about how things are sooo much better now than they used to be. I think Jokosher has been dead for a long time. It was briefly hyped as a GarageBand for Linux but it never really worked (or at least, I could never get it to work). Ah that's ok haha. I've only just co...

For what it's worth, I have the opinion that Ardour and Mixbus should be considered different DAWs for the purposes of a survey like this. Hey, why isn't Jokosher in the poll? :) Well, the maximum number of entries for a poll is 10 which only leaves one more choice left to put on there which I was ...

@sysrqer - Thanks for the info. I was watching tutorial videos lastnight to refresh my memory on how the program works. It kinda reminded me how fun it is to look at while a song is playing and I just enjoy something about the partly old school design aesthetic. But in the end I don't think that tra...

Death - what variety of Linux Mint are you using? i see there are Cinnamon, MATE and Xfce flavours. these refer to the default DE these varieties use. knowing which one will allow us to understand by what mechanism drives are automatically mounted and thus assist in troubleshooting the problem. I'm...

There are some improvements to the midi editor coming in Ardour 6.0, I'm not really familiar with everything, but I have seen screenshots of a lollipop-style velocity editing view that looks pretty nice. I do understand that if you don't like the inline piano roll, you probably won't ever like Ardo...

Yeh I'm not against using multiple programs. I've considered using Harrsion Mixbus just for mixing but I just like to do it all in one program. One of the reasons for that is so that if I wanted to play live from my project, it's already a finished song and will sound good live, otherwise I'll only ...

This might be heresy, but if your wine setup is working for you, why change? You sure have done your due diligence and have tried pretty much every native option that I can think of. If you're not happy with them, that's fine, use what works for you. Yeh that's a good question. I already came to th...

I used to use Ableton when I started out. I really enjoyed that live view with the clips. It was great for trying out different song structures and improvising on the fly :) Although it's not Linux native, I think FL Studio has some kind of performance mode made for using one of those Launchpad thin...

It's a matter of what you need. Like compressors. There's no such thing as a best compressor. I use Bitwig. Did not find any Clip/Scene mode that allows live playing into an Arranger elsewhere. So I use Bitwig for creation. I use Mixbus32C for mixing and mastering. Because of the sound. Plugin comp...

I imagine this is a pretty tired discussion on this forum so please feel free to skip it, although I actually didn't find much on it when searching here. Anyway, I don't intend to make this too complicated. What are your favourite Linux native DAW's (Either FOSS or proprietary) and why? Please post ...

I find high transients more "pokey" or "stingy" and not exactly punchy, for me punchy comes more from the body, not the transients (for example, see https://youtu.be/mqKM8p1nWxo?list=WL . In that example, for me, the punch comes from the 200Hz donk, not from the transients). But of course this is h...

What about different drum samples in different velocity regions. So that way you can use one half of the velocity range for one kit and the other half for the other kit. Is that possible?

Yeh. That photorec program must've really screwed with something. If I'd have realised what had happened sooner I'd have just restored the system from a Timeshift backup instead. Maybe I'll just do a clean install when Mint 19.2 is out. I could do with the practice anyway I suppose!

I don't have a lot of experience with Hydrogen but I've never heard of a drum sampler doing something like this, not that it isn't possible. If it were me, I'd just run two instances of it, each with a different kit. It'll be interesting to hear if this is possible though. Good luck with it!

I formatted one of the drives back to exFAT to test the following suggestions.. Instead of using mount with those options (or less as it works well with less) as root, simply use pmount as a simple user for your removable devices : pmount /dev/sde1 And that's it. It will even create a mount point fo...
