cangrejo Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Well, the title says it all. I need to know if there are any good full-featured sequencers for linux. Or if anyone's tried emulating windows and using FL/Cubase/Whatever I'd be happy to hear about your experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick with Windows or the Mac OS's Youre gonna regret bigtime when u find out all the stuff you want isnt linux compatible. Just an advise.

traveller Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 curious.. why are you tired of windows? have you ever used any linux distro? just don't expect to be able to install that app in the first month or so and you'll be alright.. oh and pick a good big distro like suse or fedora core.. then there will be loads of people in support forums you can bother with stupid questions making music straight from console.. now there is an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pH_ Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 this isnt really related to linux... but you CAN get mac osx running on a windows box using PearPC. you need an image file for OSX which isnt hard to find with torrents and such.. the only thing is, im not sure if its able to run Logic reasonably well, or run it at all has anyone tried running logic on a osx emulator?

Or if anyone's tried emulating windows and using FL/Cubase/Whatever I'd be happy to hear about your experience. 340787[/snapback] The simple answer is yes it can be done. The real answer is NO. As the VST are compiled for win32/apple etc, so you'll be missing out on tons of stuff. There are zillions of music program for linux, but none give the ease of use that cubase/logic/reason do. The first person to write a cubase/reason type program for linux, as in a complete program, will revolutionize the music industry. all in all I don't see it happening. Programmers that write these free software programs often forget that musicans are just that muscians, so the programs have the CRAPPEST interfaces. Thats just my £0.02. I use linux for everything BUT music production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reasons I'm sticking with windows are 1) That I can't afford a Mac. 2) I have yet to find a good audio sequencer for GNU/Linux. Now this isn't why I made this topic, so please refrain from posting anything that isn't related to my original question. If you want to discuss more about operating systems please make a new thread in the off-topic section of the forum. It doesn't belong here.

I actually had success emulating Jeskola Buzz tracker under Linux (Red Hat 9), which is a free modular tracker based music making package with lots of synths and samplers, i write quite a few of my tracks with Jeskola Buzz. (check out www.buzzmachines.com, and google buzz linux) it even has VSTI support but I never got around to trying it out under Linux so I cant confirm if that part works. Its probably the best solution I have found to audio production under Linux sofar, buzz has some great soft synths and sound fx (the samplers are great too). I saw some beta tests of a new VSTI engine for Linux a few months ago but it was sketchy to say the least. Hopefully we will see more Linux audio software in the future as its gaining more popularity with the home user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundrop Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 LOL i would not run an emulated program to make music. slow and crashy enough on the native OS!!! the one program that might be usable on emulation is Reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see where the development goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Ther is lots of good linux soft, they ares just hard to learn and you have to use a bunch of them to produce. They take time to set-up and ares not friendly but still, you have complete freedom after that. (Sound producing and live) Pure Data and follow Miller Puckett 2005 doc. http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/techniques/latest/book-html/ (synth) zynaddsubfx http://zynaddsubfx.sourceforge.net/ Rosegarden (kind of cubase equivalent, better use if you read the rosegarden book on sale @ amazone) (mixing) mixxx terminatorX(scratching) All of them are good if you use them well : ) but they have bad graphic interface Good luck : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody wants to join in a revolution? Lets start downloading linux programing tutorials and let the revolution begins!
