Hey all -

Got a new laptop for myself for x-mas and have abandoned MS in favor of Ubuntu Linux...  So, the question is - Does anyone out there make music on a Linux box and what kind of software do you recommend for muic creation.  I have MilkyTracker installed (obviously), but am looking for other trackers, sample editors, other fun stuff.  Any suggestions?

Audacity for Linux is a good free sample editor.   

Skale also has a linux version, pretty much on par with it's Windows Counterpart.  Unfortunately, it's a little dead over at their website....  They do promise a new version "When it's Ready", but they say that about Duke Nukem Forever as well...

Some people like Ardour, for loop/sample-based music.  Rosegarden is similar in purpose. 

I'd check out http://linux-sound.org/ to see what's out there, even if the page is a little dated at times....

Thanks!

I'm not a big fan of Skale as it is, so I think I'll stick w/ Milky for now.  I've heard murmurings of a ReNoise port too, and am eagerly awaiting it.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I’ve heard rumours that Linus or others have dismissed the RT patchset from ever being properly merged, and that the focus for Linux was not for RT applications. I suspect/hope this is a misquote or simply untrue.

I’m trying to start producing music (at all that is… having never done it before). Whilst I use Linux for absolutely everything, I haven’t found using it for music work very easy at all.


Regards.
