Hi, I'm the author of this post. I can confirm that BackupBand is probably very good and stable software, the only reason I'm not using it anymore is because it doesn't have darkmode, or a low contrast mostly grey light mode, it doesn't have a Github readme with emojis and there's no tar.gz version....

I'm going to try adding the KXStudio repositories, although it looks like it's discouraged. I'll try anyway. Why it's "discouraged"? A quick search showed some posts discouraging it for Ubuntu Studio specifically. I'm not sure if it's still relevant and/or whether the US devs just haven't...

I just installed Ubuntu Studio 22.04 this week and it has been a very pleasant experience thus far. It looks and feels kind of like a shiny new KXStudio (what with it using KDE and all). I was able to install it and set up my USB audio interface and still have time for some editing in Ardour before ...

I think the tendency is that after a few years of using Linux, users will end up on a rolling release. All converges to Archlinux with just system packages.

As far as I can tell, you are using the "seq" MIDI Driver setting in QJackCtl. This bridges ALSA and JACK MIDI in the way you experience, with ports not being named automatically. The way I usually do it is to disable the MIDI Driver setting in QJackCtl (set it to "None"). This w...

Incidentally I just saw this this morning: https://basicpitch.spotify.com/ Spotify released an open source tool to convert music (audio) to MIDI. I think you can install it with PIP to use in Python. MOD devices also brought out a new plugin to detect which notes are played on a guitar, so you can p...

There are a few forks that contain various fixes to the original repo. I have one in which I collected a few fixes and some of my own: https://github.com/noedigcode/mididings The solution to your problem mentioned in the previous post is also mentioned in my readme (note that I was using Python 3.8,...

If your system isn't yet tuned for low audio latency, start there first with the advice above or by using a pro audio dedicated distro like AVLinux. You could experiment with a Wine standalone app and as a plugin with the different Wine plugin bridges like yabridge, Carla, etc. Alternatively, you co...

You can try Konfyt: https://github.com/noedigcode/konfyt I created it specifically to easily browse sf2 presets and sfz files and to easily and quickly create and switch between different patches. It's aimed at live keyboard playing, but you could just as well use it with a DAW when creating music i...
