The best sequencer for Linux...

[allofdrab]

Ugh... I feel like the horse I was riding just came to an abrupt stop and I fell off and landed on my head.
Ohhhhhh, I see; it ran into a period; I was thinking it was a semi-colon.

Does Ardour has midi now?

[codec_spurt]

Where is EnergyXT?

Very good question.
I download XT2 for Linux and it is .exe file.

wtf?

Audio linux is a joke. I play about a bit, jack etc
Edit:
I mean, http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html AVLinux...
No dual support monitors, No internet connection...

Even got the hd extensions for Puppy that let me play with Hydrogen etc...
Pretty sophisticated really

It's not ready. Won't be ready for the next ten years. Is a shame. Such is life.
Why not use windows?

It won't recognize the firewire cards we use (Focusrite). It is a total waste of time.

If you to read in ADD skimming mode, fail to query the related forums,
and ignore the one absolute fundamental of using a supported soundcard
and videocard, then you won't be ready, in any amount of years.
A new OS, is not lucky to go at alone, when abundant help exists.

"Even got the hd extensions for Puppy that let me play with Hydrogen"

This statement alone tells me you were on a
wilderness adventure, and fell into some deep kimchi.

I only boot windows to use Rhino and Headcase, or set up an app
that won't install in wine, (for copying over later) and then
update avast/spybot. Recording with Reaper output, fed to linux apps,
has been simple for many years.

It's fair enough to consider linux an unwelcome stepdaughter of a
server OS, but it doesn't mean she can't dance.

a script is here for nvidia graphics dual monitor setup,
you could copy/paste into an avlinux
live session, save it as mentioned, log out and back in...might work.

Does Ardour has midi now?

https://ardour.org/node/5160

massive change list, a ton of midi is integrated during the
four beta releases. The installation ( for linux) is a binary,
unpack the tarball, click to install,
previous versions took a bit over 100 meg, sent to a new folder
in /opt, so existing ardour is untouched.

I assume the Mac .dmg version is also a no-brainer install.
Never used a Mac.

A new qtractor release, probably counts as a daw,
adds Better LV2 (ladspa V2) support, hopefully
the new port versions from KX, of the TAL plugins, will
just work.
Cheers

I'd like to use this opportunity to add another rant:

WHAT THE JACK IS GOING ON WITH ALL THE RPM BUILDS?

Yeah, they really make a lot of sense.

Since, you know, most Linux users use Fedora, right. God forbit that roughly 80% of desktop installs are direct Debian or indirect (Ubuntu) derivatives, or that most widely used multimedia distro is one (Ubuntu Studio).

Why bother with a PPA. Screw Launchpad and those bastards at Cannonical, let's have an RPM based lovefest on SourceForge.

This way our software gets used by our very own userbase which will repeat our circle-jerk dogma ad nauseam, RMS forbid some fresh outside ideas get to our mailing lists and we have to spend our mental energy getting infidels in line.

Gotta love these FLOSS subcultures..

Oh as an added plus (let's get those other 99% of users screaming away) Ardour insists on serving its website on HTTPS... BUT... with a self-signed certificate. Nice way to protect your bandwidth tho. You really don't want them pesky users comming round your site, just the geeks that know enough to confirm your shitty self signed certificate without feeling scared.
