My 10 year old is playing cello, viola, violin and piano. While not very good yet, he isn't too bad on any. It has occurred to me that he know has the ability to be a one many band as a few YouTubers are, recording himself on each part and then mixing. I think this is something he would enjoy doing, which would get him to practice more. It would also teach him rythem is important.
I.have a Ubuntu studio setup with a few keyboards, sm58, and a web cam. That is while not always the best hardware it should be enough to get started.
There is a large mess of choices and workflows to choose from here though, and while i've played with it a bit i've never really got into anything like I dream. So i'm hoping those who have can give suggestions on what workflow will give him the best learning curve vs results. In particular should I focus on pure audio like audacity, or is there a video work flow (kdenlive? Video was never my interest but it might be his) That is useful enough?
