Re: TIP: CHECK OUT 'RECORDING REVOLUTION'

And that, 42low, is exactly why I qualified that bluster with this: The bit printed in bold does look like any other PR boasting, doesn't it, at first glance? Not even North-Korea's Kim dynasty (grandfather, father, and son) has a lease on The Universal Truth. Even though state mythology has it that...

TIP: CHECK OUT 'RECORDING REVOLUTION'

Hello all, My home studio needs a drastic overhaul, so I have done quite a bit of online research, over the last few months, on how best to achieve that. And time and again it so happens, whilst being at it, that I dig up jewels I didn't consciously go for. Recording Revolution is just such a one: h...

Re: Is it still possible to produce music correctly with hearing loss ?

there are visual artists that are blind since birth... Yes, vision is another thing entirely... but if blind people can paint, maybe heavily impaired musicians can produce. As far as blind musicians go, Stevie Wonder is probably the foremost of them all. Evelyn Glennie, in the meanwhile, may count,...

Re: On Energy XT for Linux

Thanks very much, all, for your clarification on Energy XT in Linux. Energy XT seemed a good idea on paper. I have no previous experience with Wine, but an Energy XT installation disc still, somewhere. Might that be of any use for running eXT in Wine? Otherwise, maybe I'd better have a closer look a...

Re: Is it still possible to produce music correctly with hearing loss ?

Hearing loss. Like 'less' or 'gone'? Gone at first, but partly returning later. Not sure what you mean with the phrase "produce music correctly" Yes, maybe I should have been a little clearer on that particular point, in retrospective. So what I mean is that "producing music correctl...

Is it still possible to produce music correctly with hearing loss ?

Hello all, Intending to research something, I came across this thread in KVR Forums: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=489527 I never encountered this question on Linux Musicians, but I think it is a relevant and important one. I registered with KVR to join the discussion, only t...

Re: USB mic/line-in on KDE Mint 17.3 "Rosa": how best to achieve that?

Found it, folderol! https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/audio-interfaces/komplete-audio-6/ Looks promising, so thank you very much for your pointer. One little snag though: it's definitely an option worth of keeping at the back of my mind for the foreseeable future, but for now a...

KDE Mint 17.3 "Rosa" LTS, 32-bit, on Lenovo G585 laptop; KDE Mint 17.0 "Qiana" LTS, 32-bit, on Thinkcentre M-Series desktop. Hello all, A drastic overhaul of my audio home studio has been long overdue: the current set-up a mess. However, since I'm still not sure what to replace ...

Re: USB mic/line-in on KDE Mint 17.3 "Rosa": how best to achieve that?

Thanks, folderol, for your suggestion, but it confuses me a little, too. If I understand you correctly you're talking hardware here. However, both Amazon and Ebay don't recognise 'Komplete KA6'. And on attempting to acquire a visual impression, I'm only getting pictures of lots and lots of glider pl...

USB mic/line-in on KDE Mint 17.3 "Rosa": how best to achieve that?

Hello all, Laptops previously owned were once equipped with analogue holes: one headphones output and one mic/line input, next to each other. So if I wanted to record, say, a guitar in Audacity, I'd plug the guitar lead into my preamp and the preamp plug into my laptop's mic/line input. Done! But th...

Re: setting up Carla (first steps)

Thanks very much, glowrak guy. Your suggestions are giving me some more clarity. Still: answers have a habit of generating fresh queries, so a few more of the latter, if I may. - My quest for some manner of playing .sfz sample with electric guitar has been a very long one. But seeking to reproduce ....

KXStudio as seen from a beginner's perspective

Hello all, Whatever our personal field of expertise, each and every one in this community and (way beyond) set out with zero (or close to zero) experience. I think that's a fair assumption. The other day, I investigated further into where best to start in Carla. However, my exertions invariably hit ...
