[00:06] <Mish> Hey Len are you there?
[04:30] <cfhowlett> Len-nb: FYI, I queried Full Circle Magazine for a list of recommended publishing application.  Will share their response.
[04:45] <Len-nb> great. I'll see what we can do with it

[16:05] <Submarine> howdie
[16:06] <Submarine> 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] <holstein> qtractor?
[16:07] <holstein> maybe harmonyseq or seq24
[16:07] <holstein> JAMin is nice for "mastering"
[16:08] <Submarine> thanks for the suggestions
[16:08] <holstein> maybe an arpeggiator?
[16:08] <holstein> rakarrack is nice, and not just for guitars
[16:09]  * Submarine looks at arpeggiators
[16:10] <Submarine> regarding soft synths, I've used Yoshimi, Aeolus...
[16:10] <Submarine> and the Hammond B3 emulator
[16:10] <holstein> xsynth and whysynth are fun
[16:12] <holstein> i would check out http://wootangent.net/category/music/tutorials/
[16:12] <holstein> you prolly know a lot of it already
[16:14] <Submarine> well, I still encounter mysteries
[16:14] <harry__> DAW is a constant learning process
[16:14] <Submarine> like how to have uneven speed
[16:14] <Submarine> and everything keeps in sync
[16:15] <Submarine> one problem is that just every apps like to believe it is the master time
[16:15] <holstein> i would just play something in analog that is going to keep the time
[16:15] <holstein> call that the "master" and play everything along with it
[16:15] <Submarine> I mean, how do you call it, these tempo tracks
[16:15] <holstein> i do very little MIDI though, and usually just do things like
[16:15] <holstein> live*
[16:16] <holstein> Submarine: you can always create a tempo track
[16:17] <holstein> how do the pro's do it?
[16:17] <holstein> 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] <Submarine> I suppose they use software that can effectively use a tempo track without mishaps.
[16:18] <holstein> they would create some master tempo track somehow though
[16:18] <holstein> Submarine: you just need to learn to make one, and use it
[16:18] <holstein> i would literally tap the tempo out near a mic while humming the tune
[16:18] <holstein> then, start replacing
[18:52] <ollie_> 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] <mlpug> ollie_, I guess not much
[18:59] <mlpug> 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] <ollie_> I'm using an ubuntu based distro as it is though
[19:00] <ollie_> I assume the low latency kernel is still useful, right?
[19:39] <MaynardWaters> What is Reaper ?
[19:39] <MaynardWaters> mlpug
[19:42] <magicguitarman> It's a DAW. http://www.reaper.fm/ meant to be cheap and pretty good
[19:42] <magicguitarman> I haven't used it myself but my bass player has and likes it.
[19:43] <MaynardWaters> thanks magicguitarman
[19:44] <magicguitarman> no problem
[19:44] <MaynardWaters> 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] <magicguitarman> My only experience of WINE is the odd game. I'm happy with Ardour and RoseGarden when I do any recording/arranging
[21:08] <devtekalpha> Can you make just as good audio productions on linux as you can with windows?
[21:10] <devtekalpha> I want to move to using linux and freeware will i still be able to make professional sound?
[21:11] <magicguitarman> 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] <devtekalpha> Well as long as it is possible im willing to learn :)
[21:14] <magicguitarman> What do you use at the moment?
[21:14] <devtekalpha> Vista. Reaper. Free vsts. Sound forge. Wavelab
[21:15] <magicguitarman> Reaper will actually work using WINE. But I'd recommend making the leap as native apps run better.
[21:16] <devtekalpha> Cool. What would you reccommend instead of using reaper and soundforge
[21:16] <magicguitarman> I suggest reading up on, and testing Ardour, RoseGarden, Hydrogen,FluidSynth and LinuxSampler
[21:17] <magicguitarman> That should give you a start
[21:17] <devtekalpha> Cool thanks ill look them up
[21:17] <magicguitarman> No problem
