  • How are you finding the Linux set up? Do you do any audio with that or just midi?

    I set up an old laptop that I got for cheap at work after a hardware refresh. I know it’s not the best machine, but I’ve been having a hard time getting the audio working well on it, feels like my interface just disconnects after a while. I haven’t really gotten creative on it yet as I’m still just struggling to get inputs and learn new software.

    I installed a music focused package os, so I think I have rosegarden too.


  • Do you still have those old commodore or Amiga songs? That sounds like fun.

    I had some early eat making fun with the sequencer in Mario Paint on the SNES, and trying to loop little recording in the native sound recorder apps on our parents Mac classics. We had some 4track projects in middle school, but I wasn’t the one who had the recorder, so my input was limited.

    Reason was definitely my music making software obsession. It’s still my favorite. I think it’s the way you can define all the patterns and then draw them in a timeline with the pencil tool. I love that hardware sequencer object. That just really jives with my mental visualization of song structures. I used a lot of logic and some Live later on. I got really into synthesis through Csound, and I’d often pull those files into reason or logic too.

    Do you feel the hardware is worth the expense? Or is it like owning a boat?
