LinuxMusicians

Thanks for the info, Rui! I think I'm understanding this a bit more now.. so the thing is, qtractor isn't actually recording at this moment. I'm just using it as a host for linuxsampler and might record the MIDI later, after I've finished the MPC workflow. So does the MIDI channel set in the Track P...

So how do you musicians make music on linux? It's a bit annoying having to reroute connections every time I want to work on a music project (I don't have a dedicated box, unfortunately and need to use it for more than just music) and while jack sessions and qtractor helps a little bit it's still qui...

You're completely right of course and it shouldn't make a difference if you connect your MPC to the MIDI Master bus or to buses you created afterwards. Maybe you could monitor the output of your MPC with a tool like QMidiRoute. Maybe the channel counting differs between the MPC and Qtractor. Qtract...

Try creating separate MIDI buses, one listening/receiving on channel 2 and one listening/receiving on channel 3. Use those to connect with your MPC1000. Ok, I'll try this but it seems to run against the concept of MIDI and channels in general -- surely I don't need a bus for each channel if there i...

Hey all. So I'm incurring a ton of head trauma trying to get Qtractor to work with my external sequencer (MPC1000). Basically: The MPC sends MIDI data on ch2 and ch3. I have two MIDI tracks in Qtractor, using the Master/Master MIDI bus and receiving (or is it sending?) on ch2 and ch3 respectively. E...

I have a Tascam US100 USB interface and for some reason I've never been able to get this to work in duplex on linux with jack. It works just fine on Windows so I have no idea why it's an issue in linux [Debian] (I'm not out to insult anyone, I'm just genuinely interested in the technical aspect). I ...

Er, bandpass filters won't work because a guitar doesn't only produce one frequency per note. There is the dominant frequency, sure, but you have a whole bunch of other harmonics that are lower and higher frequencies. These will leak into all bands and hence why you don't get distinct splitting of n...

Thanks for this slowpick, sorry for the really (really) late reply. I think you're right in that I was trying to do too much at once. Basically, I think I just need to figure it out myself, as in how I work best. I was thinking about doing all my MIDI sequencing out of the box, using my MPC and just...

Hey guys, after ages I finally decided to bite the bullet and start recording stuff but I'm having a horrible time actually getting into the music making because I waste so much time setting up jack, qtractor, etc. etc. and then get bogged down in handling sessions, opening various apps and then jac...

Ah yes, I didn't consider people who would actually need jack to interface with their hardware... my apologies.

In any case I'm not saying jack support wouldn't be bad. Anyway, their new project Unison is designed with jack in mind

Hi everyone, this is my first post here and I feel I have to add to this discussion. First of all, music making as it stands on linux is amazing. The sheer number of synths, effects and quirky little tools put it far in front of anything else I've seen. I've been working with linux music for a few y...
