[00:06] Hey Len are you there? [04:30] Len-nb: FYI, I queried Full Circle Magazine for a list of recommended publishing application. Will share their response. [04:45] great. I'll see what we can do with it [14:24] * al4nc4ds http://www.wifislax.com/ [16:05] howdie [16:06] I use Rosegarden for sequencing, Ardour for recording, Hydrogen for drums, FluidSynth and LinuxSampler for sampler sounds. Is there a great app that I have missed? [16:07] qtractor? [16:07] maybe harmonyseq or seq24 [16:07] JAMin is nice for "mastering" [16:08] thanks for the suggestions [16:08] maybe an arpeggiator? [16:08] rakarrack is nice, and not just for guitars [16:09] * Submarine looks at arpeggiators [16:10] regarding soft synths, I've used Yoshimi, Aeolus... [16:10] and the Hammond B3 emulator [16:10] xsynth and whysynth are fun [16:12] i would check out http://wootangent.net/category/music/tutorials/ [16:12] you prolly know a lot of it already [16:14] well, I still encounter mysteries [16:14] DAW is a constant learning process [16:14] like how to have uneven speed [16:14] and everything keeps in sync [16:15] one problem is that just every apps like to believe it is the master time [16:15] i would just play something in analog that is going to keep the time [16:15] call that the "master" and play everything along with it [16:15] I mean, how do you call it, these tempo tracks [16:15] i do very little MIDI though, and usually just do things like [16:15] live* [16:16] Submarine: you can always create a tempo track [16:17] how do the pro's do it? [16:17] they dont use JACK and the tools we use.. they dont necessarily have the opportunity to do it all at once like that [16:17] I suppose they use software that can effectively use a tempo track without mishaps. [16:18] they would create some master tempo track somehow though [16:18] Submarine: you just need to learn to make one, and use it [16:18] i would literally tap the tempo out near a mic while humming the tune [16:18] then, start replacing [18:52] Hey, what benefits do I get from installing this instead of another distro if I wasn't planning on using the supplied DAW, but Reaper in WINE instead? [18:58] ollie_, I guess not much [18:59] its one of the much used distros so my argument to use it that you find more related information from various forums, irc etc [18:59] I'm using an ubuntu based distro as it is though [19:00] I assume the low latency kernel is still useful, right? [19:39] What is Reaper ? [19:39] mlpug [19:42] It's a DAW. http://www.reaper.fm/ meant to be cheap and pretty good [19:42] I haven't used it myself but my bass player has and likes it. [19:43] thanks magicguitarman [19:44] no problem [19:44] ive been able to get ableton to work under wine, that along with cool edit pro 2.0 seem to run well on ubuntu [19:45] My only experience of WINE is the odd game. I'm happy with Ardour and RoseGarden when I do any recording/arranging [21:08] Can you make just as good audio productions on linux as you can with windows? [21:10] I want to move to using linux and freeware will i still be able to make professional sound? [21:11] Yes, I would say so, but it's going to take some learning. Like with any move, there's new ways of doing things [21:13] Well as long as it is possible im willing to learn :) [21:14] What do you use at the moment? [21:14] Vista. Reaper. Free vsts. Sound forge. Wavelab [21:15] Reaper will actually work using WINE. But I'd recommend making the leap as native apps run better. [21:16] Cool. What would you reccommend instead of using reaper and soundforge [21:16] I suggest reading up on, and testing Ardour, RoseGarden, Hydrogen,FluidSynth and LinuxSampler [21:17] That should give you a start [21:17] Cool thanks ill look them up [21:17] No problem
