VirtualBox is running LinuxSampler and Hydrogen in Mint18. Tell me more about this setup, I'm not sure I fully understand. 1. What memory, CPU, and sound interface does the host system have? 2. What resources do you allocate to the VM? 3. Are you running JACK in the host system, or in the VM, or bo...

I'm curious about what you are doing with virtual box, and if you have an idea of how much CPU it is using, or are you running mint with your audio software inside of the VM? Either way, it sounds like it's not ideal for a computer intended for audio production. Second, do your fast midi notes overl...

suicidal mode If you are honestly feeling suicidal, then with all the love I can muster, I encourage you to please find a face-to-face support system to help you through it. I can't tell you how to do it, that's up to you. Online help might be beneficial too, but it can't compare to having a friend...

I'm at a conference today without a good way to listen. I will try to give you feed back later.

Those require a lot more talent than I possess as of now I'm sorry, my comment wasn't meant to be condescending at all. Don't ever feel like talent can be measured a single way! For comparison, I have no talent for mixing, I fancy myself as more of a composer. Make music in whatever way works for y...

You can make the public aware that those who don't share are bad people ... I don't really want to make such sweeping stereotypes. People aren't so one dimensional as that. Anybody that I know has their moments of selfishness, their redeeming qualities, their bad habits, and times that they're real...

What are your preferred genres? I can appreciate a lot of different things: orchestral (both modern and classical), folk, jazz, rock, some types of electronica. I've been trying to learn how to arrange orchestral music, but recently I've found myself collaborating with a guitarist on a progressive ...

Is there a symbol for indicating the specific variety of sarcasm that is also a straw-man argument? I'm 99% sure that Michael was totally self-aware of doing that in writing that comment… The 1% is, well, you know, Poe's Law — the sarcasm is 100% clearly intended, the awareness of straw-man I'm onl...

New track. Feedback, please. I'm not the target audience for this style of music, but I found it enjoyable anyway. It seemed more crisp than your earlier ones (crisp in a good way). As far as audio processing goes, I only have one suggestion: there's some kind of synth sound at the very beginning, ...

Perhaps installing 17.04 'zesty' as a foundation was a mistake. I'm sorry to say it, but you're probably right. The last several years, if I'm going to use Ubuntu I stick with the LTS releases and haven't regretted it. I'm actually using Elementary OS on my music machine, but it's pretty similar si...

One time I was visiting somebody's home with a group of friends. There was a piano in the room, and I impulsively sat down to play something improvised from the top of my head. Some of them told me they enjoyed it. I was so consumed by my own selfishness; I didn't immediately set about writing it do...

I don't really have an answer to your direct question, I'm not sure that you can route arbitrary key events to an app that's not in focus. I am curious about why you're not using a midi controller. If it's a matter of money, you can probably find some cheap keyboard with midi ports (like Casio or so...

So I realy have to buy (and handle) two interfaces and a hub...? :( I'm not sure that I quite follow what you're trying to do, but you could get an interface that handles audio + midi, like Scarlett 2i4 (That's what I use with no driver issues on Linux). Wire the midi output from the Scarlett to yo...

There are a number of people around here that seem happy using Reaper on Linux, but if you want to look around, you might check out Ardour, Qtractor, and maybe a couple of others. I'm not sure how much luck you're going to have running Linux audio on a pen drive, if you try to capture/replay audio w...

Today not only did I enjoy the piece of music that you wrote, but I also learned the delightful word "pootling". May it ever find a place in my vocabulary from now on.
