You have multivelocity/multilayer drumming in Linux too, you can easily create your own drum kits from samples (free or purchased) in Hydrogen. Also, there are some great drum kits in .sfz and giga format that you can use with LinuxSampler or Carla. But, as I said, it's not that much user friendly a...

When I was switching to Linux, I had that Idea too, although I never tried it. I guess you could probably do that, although I don't know whether your Windows apps will be able to interact with your Linux apps. But everybody will tell you that you can never get the same results as you would by runnin...

paper notebook, and start an ongoing text file for commands, and another one for tips. That is a must, although there is a big help database from the community on the internet. I have a special folder with txt files for this. As a side note, there are some apps with which you can edit text in a tre...

Welcome to Linux :) In order to record/make music in Linux, you'd be better off if you install JACK, although that is not necessary anymore, but that depends on how do you work. If you are an instrumentalist, you would have to use JACK, if not, I guess you can live without, although it's still a big...

Hm, and why don't you just use a Windows partition (say Win7) with no access to internet for your Windows software, since you can't part with it? I don't see a point in using Linux just as a substitution platform (a buggy one with Wine) for Windows. Nowadays things are a lot more better in the Linux...

Well, it sounds like you need some good basic music theory book. You can find those in a library, bookstore, or Google offers some good free ebooks too

You implied you don't like Arch because you find it difficult. Likewise, many people don't like Unity or Ubuntu for their own reasons. The title of your topic asks for those reasons, and people are telling you the reasons. No, I did not imply that I don't like Arch, I said if it's good for you, the...

Actually, it is

Did I say it's not?

Perhaps the title of your topic should have been "I think that everyone should love Unity and Ubuntu" instead of "Why people don't like Unity and Ubuntu?" :wink: And what makes you think so? The point of this topic is that people shouldn't base their opinions on some lame biased...

Luc, let me point out just one more time - when I configure it right, for me it is in a perfect working condition - no lags, no glitches, no x-runs, no frozen screens, and that on an average, well, actually now is going towards a little bellow average desktop, and on an average laptop computer. So t...

OK, so I tried to connect JACK virtual keyboard to MuseScore, and it works, it displays the pitches correctly. But, you still have to change the length of the notes using the numeric keys on your computer keyboard, MuseScore MIDI input can't recognize rhythm. And, you can't enter chords like that, i...

The cheating part was partially a joke. What I meant is, you want to be able to accurately write your music on a staff without bothering to learn reading music properly - which I guess it can be done in MuseScore, since it has a MIDI input for a MIDI keyboard. I haven't tried this, since I don't use...

I wouldn't say it is such a good analogy. For one, Windows can be used in creative ways, and for creative purposes also. Music can be read for creative purposes also (like playing music isn't a creative thing by itself) like for jazz. Like you go on a jam session and you play music you haven't pract...

Yeah, I totally meant MuseScore, I don't know how I managed to mistaken the name of one of my favorite apps! Well, if you are beginner in reading music, you can use MuseScore to rewrite some etudes and sheet music from paper or pdf documents, for start, and then listen to those while paying attentio...
