Hello from Colorado

Wanted to say hi, and mention how appreciative I am of this forum. I've been a lurker for a while now and only recently registered. Linux has been my exclusive desktop since '96. I'll emphasize that I'm only a "Linux user" because even though I've managed to figure out many things on my own over the years, I'm in no way considered a Linux expert. When things go wrong, I can typically muddle through it. I think it was Slackware 3.xx something I cut my teeth on.
I'm not a musician by any means, but I would like to try and start making some. I purchased a new Novation Impulse 61 for my midi keyboard. I had narrowed down my choices between the Impulse and the M-Audio Axiom 61. Without really knowing what I'm talking about, I can say I purchased the Impulse because I really liked the feel of the keyboard compared to the Axiom.
I have some not-too-old computer hardware I'm going to make a dedicated machine for this work. I plan to try KX-Studio first (thank you falkTX and others). I'm typically pretty good with searching for answers on my own. Sometimes though when I'm trying to learn a new subject, I find it more challenging to locate stuff when I'm still not up to speed with the topic specific vocabulary. The correct keywords make a huge difference when your trying to find stuff.
I find it so helpful listening to the rest of you work through your successes. I also find this forum to be very civil. You can't say that about a lot of places on the WWW. I'm a car guy, and some of the car forums out there are brutal.
Thanks again for all the work you guys and gals put into this place. I will share my work in the hopes it helps someone else someday. Someone just getting started like me.
Take care all,
David
