LinuxMusicians

What's your favorite Linux app for working with live or even non-live loops? Do you use it for constructing just part of your composition/performance, or are you a totally loops-based musicians? If so, do you create your own samples to loop, or do you find free ones on the web, or do you buy loop li...

Thanks for the insight, Angelsguitar! I too am looking forward the 64Studio 3 final release.

As much fun as compiling wireless drivers from source is, I'll probably just wait 'till 64 has the support built-in ;). I'm really interested in Linux Sampler, but I can wait for bit...at this point I don't need it professionally or anything. But back to LMMS...I see it has VST support, so I'm going...

Yes, I'm excited about what Open Octave is doing, but my understanding was they don't yet have totally stable release yet.

Thanks for the tip on 64 studio. I have it installed on my machine but I doesn't recognize my wireless card, so it's pretty much a no go.

Hi mazza558! Good to have you on the forum...thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and offering to help! I'm interested in making some realistic-sounding orchestral recordings from midi data...can I do this with LMMS? I'm not sure how it works (if it even does) with apps like Linux-sampler and *...

I used Dyne:bolic quite a bit back in the day.

I agree...you know, it's great to get people playing songs they know; it keeps them interested. But if you don't accompany that with solid instruction on technique and theory, you're really doing them a disservice as a teacher IMHO.

As composer, I'm really excited about the direction this project is taking. This something that is very much needed on Linux platform, and I'm really looking forward to the KDE4 version of Open Octave. Will definitely be keeping my eye on this project!!

Wish I could help, but I don't usually use MIDI out on MuseScore...depending on what you're doing, you might be able to make do w/Rosegarden or NoteEdit.

Just updated to the 0.9.5 MuseScore release, and it's really fantastic. It's not bug-free yet, and there are still a few rough edges, but it is more than usable. I think in another year, it will be a genuine competitor for Sibelius/Finale...I'm a grad student in music theory, and I plan on composing...

Thanks for that article, StudioDave! I had Ubuntu Studio on my machine a couple releases back, and I had the same issues, and had to do a lot of tweaking to get things really usable. I've also run into that installer bug (it's on the LiveCD too) in stock Ubuntu (FWIW, I had to do an "alternate&...

Thats just my 2 cents worth of 64 studio experience for 2 years. :) Hope your trials prove fruitful nathan. Thanks! This seems like really good advice...I hadn't even thought of using two distros!I may keep Ubuntu as my "desktop" and throw 64 Studio 3.0 on there as my "studio" d...

So, I am currently running Ubuntu Jaunty, which I love...except that getting a real-time kernel up and running a bit problematic...installed via synaptic, tried to boot up, and I can't get an X server run. I made sure I had the corresponding driver, etc, going, but it's just annoying. So I'm thinkin...

Hi Guys, been listening to the latest episodes, and really enjoying what you're doing!

Why not post a sticky in this forum with a link to the show notes, irc channel, and feed(s)? Might get you even more exposure here.

Thanks again for the great 'cast!

I like it! Let's put it up and see how the wiki responds. Will you email/pm me with the code and how you implemented it?
