Yah, EnergyXT not being mentioned is a MAJOR oversight.
That said - Renoise is brilliant. Spend a bit of time - read the excellent documentation - and it becomes a VERY elegantly designed, easy and SUPER FUN DAW to use.
Identical on Linux, Windows, and OSX, and rock solid.
I suspect many people don't realize how powerful it is.
It takes the concept of tracking employed by other trackers to a whole new level.
It's a reimagining of tracking, and pushes it into new territory with every update.
IMO Renoise is sort of the Ableton Live of the tracker world.

Somwehere in the back of my head there was this information how eXT Linux was in perpetual unfinished state. A glimpse at their site shows that I'm wrong, will fix.svrc wrote:Where is EnergyXT?

I think there was an ongoing wish list of 1.4 features, much relied on by some
paying customers, that didn't make it to the new versions. Then, communications
from the dev slowed, then the deal with Behringer, with the wish list hung out
in the breeze.
Reaper is also unfinished, in the traditional sense of a stable xxx.0 version
every year or two, but everyone knows whats happening, and the plethora of releases
are stable anyway.
Cheers

The Best ? Ardour for audio , Hydrogen for sampled drums . Specimen for making a synth from a wav sample . You can record the output of Hydrogen n Specimen to Ardour using Qjackctrl or Jack, Linux Rewire....... Or you can save the Hassel and just dualboot Windows and pick your DAW of choice !!

Just chipping in with a link for anyone wanting to try out MuLab and maybe let the developer know you want it on Linux. Keep it sane, don't just flood, okay?

wine devs seem to be ignoring the needs of recording artists.
Unless some people within the wine team can rekindle interest
in recording audio and vst support, or a solid fork takes place,
it maybe a losing effort to work on compatibility.
I had an MUlab version partially working with vsts in wine,
well more than a year ago, but a newer version refused,
on the same setup. I'll try the newest this week some time,
since I have since changed to wine 1.4.

I don't think the Wine team make enough fuss about updates. When Microsoft roll out a new OS, there's a huge fanfare and everyone buys a complete new PC just to run it, not expecting any of their existing gear to carry on working. The Wine team is expected to take this in their stride and integrate this new OS into Wine and have everything just carry on as before.
Sometimes stuff breaks.
Of course, WineASIO breaks, too. Joakim is doing a good job trying to keep on top of it. I keep hoping I'll get time to catch up again, so I can help him out. I'm certain there are one or two other forks of the code that could do with integrating, too.

I've found it hard enough to find DAW software for Windows that is stable, bug-free, and has an interface/workflow I can live with. I can't imagine why anyone who needs to get actual work done would choose Linux.peejunk wrote:If you think music-making should be fun, then I can't see how any Linux DAW can be appealing.

Perhaps they appreciate the stable, bug-free beauty of Renoise, it's excellent interface/workflow, and more than adequate range of high quality, native effects, and want to get actual work done instead of giving in to a distracting urge to download and try every free, likely unnecessary Windows VST plugin, while they wait for their virus scan to finish.Jacques Hass wrote:I've found it hard enough to find DAW software for Windows that is stable, bug-free, and has an interface/workflow I can live with.

Stick to making great music using windows
I can't find a white horse that doesn't buck me off to the ground,
so why would anyone choose a brown one?

He didn't say that. He said "I can't find a white horse that doesn't buck me off to the ground. I can't imagine why anyone would choose a brown one." Two separate statements of failure on his part. Neither implying that either (a) others have problems with white horses, nor that (b) there's anything wrong with brown ones.

allofdrab can't imagine why anyone who needs to
get actual work done (ride a white horse) would choose Linux, (a brown one)
if allofdrab can't imagine it being ride-able.
I'm just guessing that an OS used to admin gigantic corporations,
can also handle a few synths, fx, and a 4/4 beat
with a default value of a little imagination thrown in
