[13:52] <wrst> netritious: just bought my little girl a guitar... my wife may shoot me so if this is my last irc message been great knowing everyone :)
[13:54] <netritious> lol nice wrst
[13:54] <netritious> I bet she'll love it
[13:55] <wrst> got her a baby taylor, she is just 5 but seems inclined to really learn
[13:55] <wrst> already seeing signs she has a singing voice
[13:56] <netritious> thats awesome. mine is 14 now and plays vibraphone now, but wants to go back to snare already lol
[13:57] <wrst> drummers run deep in your bloodline ;)
[13:57] <wrst> I would rather them being making music than cheerleading or softball or whatever
[13:57] <netritious> Same here wrst
[13:58] <wrst> I have been absolutely amazed at the quality stuff available for linux now
[13:58] <netritious> wife didn't get it about band until she heard a parent say her son got a full scholarship playing band
[13:59] <wrst> I know someone now that got a full ride at UT
[13:59] <wrst> drummer btw
[13:59] <netritious> nice
[14:00] <netritious> wrst I mainly use linux for server. I guess I would use for desktop, but just don't need it I guess.
[14:01] <wrst> well... I had been using a macbook for music stuff but really had not found what I was looking for
[14:01] <wrst> tried abelton live 9 out, and it is a bit intimidating, want something to do some minor "real" recording and do more digital stuff
[14:02] <wrst> it is great but just a bit much, bitwig strangely enough was right in the middle, and also completely crossplatform,
[14:02] <wrst> have it on the macbook so if i need to travel I can have the same setup
[14:02] <wrst> linux just works so well to record when properly setup you can cut it down to an absolute bare minimum and only be running the software you need
[14:03] <wrst> I usually install something like fluxbox when I get really serious and have no desktop stuff getting in the way
[14:03] <wrst> ardour has improved carzily since I really got into this stuff last also
[14:28] <netritious> nice. One day I hope to have time for music projects again.
[14:28] <netritious> Occasionally I jam with my brother, but he is convinced there is only one good software and that's cubase.
[14:45] <wrst> it is good stuff
[14:45] <wrst> I have just been looking for price/usefulness etc
[14:45] <wrst> and I do like stuff that runs on ubuntu I just can't afford 2 or 3 macs
[14:45] <wrst> but bitwig is really impressive and the linux support is awesome
[14:45] <wrst> first class citizen
[15:46] <[Ubik]> FYI, if anyone is needing the latest Jessie in us-east-2 (Ohio), ami-77055f12 is the AMI ID. Debian hasn't made one available there yet, and I needed to spin up a box or two there...
[15:46] <[Ubik]> So I just copied their us-east-1 public AMI over and made mine public, any of you need to use it feel free.
