LinuxMusicians

Congrats dude! My wife is due March 15th with our first.

My band(http://www.chosenrobot.com) usually plays a show or two a month in Minneapolis/St. Paul. But, we are about to take a couple month break because my pregnant wife is almost due. By that time our album should be ready to distribute and start booking more shows(I hope!).

Built 0.4.2 from source last night without a hitch. No newer dependencies from 0.3 which was nice for my old live performance laptop running 64 Studio. :) Things are sounding great. I really like chaining an EQ -> compressor 2:1 -> Harmonize with Octave -> Overdrive 2. Gets a really nice deep gritty...

After trying and liking Crunchbang http://crunchbanglinux.org/ recently. I've been had a desire to try to install Ubuntu Studio on top of Crunchbang. Has anyone tried this? I would probaly wait until Crunchbang 9.10 is released, for the new kernel and hardware support.

I still have 2.1 installed on my Thinkpad T22. It works great and is solid, if a bit aged.

I would just be cautious of installing it on new hardware as it has a somewhate old kernel and thus not much support for hardware from the last year or two.

64 Studio is another good one. 3.0 beta 3 is the most current, and very stable for being beta.

It is based on Ubuntu Hardy, but has its own repo for a newer kernel and audio/video production software.

Hey Luca, welcome aboard!

What music software do you usually use on Ubuntu?

I feel like we are on way back down from trying to do everything within the rules, then breaking them, and making them up. With technology and communication advances in the 20th century the speed of art achievement increased incredibly. I kind of see John Cage as taking it to the next level...which ...

I hang out in both channels.

#opensourcemusicians usually is more active it seems. I do agree with you Steve that they have different focuses, but are from similar user bases.

On the note(pun intended) of mixing major and minor scales, you also have to remember that the church had even more scales called modes(ionian, dorian, mixolydian, lydian) that had varying degrees of intervals. Two of those modes that were popular became our major and minor scales. This is all based...

This may be too basic, but it never hurts. did you install the "build-essential" package? That usually covers most C/Cpp libs. Also, SCons sometimes caches build data. I forget what the option is off the top of my head, but its something like --no-cache , but you can find it in the help/ma...

Have you looked into DSSI(disposable soft synth interface...i think) at all? It is a open version of VST i believe. The only one I have played with is this one: http://dssi.sourceforge.net/hexter.html because it came with my 64 Studio installation. A few other synths that I have used are Alsa Modula...

Hey hey and welcome!

I didn't think anything could be cooler than a keytar, but this may be one of the coolest instrument inventions I have ever seen.

I am interested in this as well. I am trying to get Ardour running on my OSX machine, but can't get it running right yet. Once I do I will probaly buy Mixbus to try it out there and keep cheering for a Linux version.
