Re: Can Linux really handle all genres of music?

I'm not good at English, so please forgive me if the sentences are poor. Most of the orchestra and world instruments belong to the Kontakt platform and cannot be used without WINE. But I'm also reluctant to use WINE, so I'd rather collect and use old GIG format samples. Sample libraries currently a...

Re: Need Help With Sound, Routing Etc.

Decided to try both Ubuntu Studio and AVLinux. Got US downloaded, then my crappy internet went south, download speed around 30 kb/s. So that will have to wait until speed gets back up near 1 MB. As good as it gets. My USB Steinberg UR-22 works fine, which means I can continue using the 2496 on my ol...

Re: Need Help With Sound, Routing Etc.

Thanks for all that wonderful advice, askap. I'll take your word for it and install AV Linux. The computer I've been experimenting on is a 2009 Gateway dual core with 6GB ram and the 2496 ole standby card. But I also have a barebones i7, with 32GB ram, and a UR-22 interface. for just midi it works f...

Re: Need Help With Sound, Routing Etc.

The answers to your questions vary with what exactly your requirements are, and your requirements will vary depending on what answers you receive and you then come to realize what possibilities are available. That's the conundrum. :mrgreen: If you want to use MIDI with Muse, what exactly does that ...

Re: Need Help With Sound, Routing Etc.

Yeah Baby, I finally got it! After a day of waiting for the power to go out due to the blizzard that has descended upon New England, I finally hit upon the right combination of mouse clicks. I now can make sound from my midi keyboard. One change I made was to replace the simple midi cable I was usin...

Re: Need Help With Sound, Routing Etc.

I finally made a little progress. I went back into Muse3, and was able to do the synth test, and finally got sound. Then I looked at the Advanced Routing, and the Out went to System Playback. I saw that this was listed under Jack, so I then opened up Muse4 and duplicated these settings, first making...

Re: Need Help With Sound, Routing Etc.

Thanks Guys for the replies, but still no luck here. I just want to clarify something: If I only due midi, do I really need Jack? The folks on the Reaper forum (Linux Reaper) seem to be using mostly Alsa, for both midi and audio. I know they are two different DAWS so maybe Jack is better for Muse. I...

Need Help With Sound, Routing Etc.

I just installed Muse4 from the App image. Using Bodhi Linux. My sound card is Delta 2496. Alsa works with that, I use it for internet radio for example. But I don't know how to make the connections for Muse. I do Midi, so I don't need heavy audio capacity. How do I route things? Do I route the Out ...

Re: Why the notation editor is so important

MusE's notation editor sets it apart from other DAWs and sequencers. Agreed. But I would also cite the original developers wise decision to study and adopt the best features of popular sequencers. Specifically, the developer had the foresight to copy Cakewalk's "Event Filter" feature. Thi...

Re: Why the notation editor is so important

I'm new both to this forum and Muse. I just installed an earlier version from Synaptic in Bodhi Linux, then discovered there was a newer version. I'm now on Muse 4. I was excited to find it has a score editor. My Windows DAW has been sonar, which of course has one as well. I'm a weird blend of a not...

Re: What Can (and can't) YaBridge Do?

Thanks for that tavasti. It may also be possible to transfer the dongles to be software-type. I do have ilok as well as elicenser. So there may be a chance. although it sure would be a hassle reinstalling Wine all over again. I'll look into audiogridder, thanks for the tip. Here is my thread about ...

Re: Is there any lightweight functional Distros now?

The problem is not the operating system (Linux, Windows) the problem is that Desktop Environments and the internet is to bloated nowadays. Forget about it. It is possible of course to install a light desktop on any (or most) distros. For example, I recently installed PC Linux LQXT, but then added t...

Re: What Can (and can't) YaBridge Do?

Yabridge most likely can run any plugin you get installed and authorized. There is the catch: software iLok works for some people, but it can stop working (happened to me, needed to install whole wine-env again). Hardware dongles, that may be much harder. I would expect that running those dongle-so...

What Can (and can't) YaBridge Do?

I have never used YaBridge, but there was a lot of buzz on the Reaper For Linux forum when I last tried to do music on Reaper/Linux. Since I do orchestral music, my options are more limited. I need high-end libraries like East West, Vienna etc. I did get Cinematic Strings working on the Kontakt Play...
