Re: For recording electric guitar, Focusrite 2i2 2nd or 3rd gen?

hi everyone, I'm new to audio production on linux and am looking to get started recording and tracking electric guitar.

On Windows, it's something like: 1. Launch FL Studio, Ableton, whatever 2. Everything is contained within one app which scans for and manages all of the compatible applications (plugins) On Ubuntu Studio, I am presented with a plethora of self-contained apps, but without any real explanation of how...

M-Audio Keystation 88 II - does it work OK with Ubuntu Studio?

I am basically a guitarist with little knowledge of midi input keyboards. I want one with full 88 range of keys. I used to have a very cheap input keyboard in the past with very small range of keys and found it frustrating. I am thinking of getting this M-Audio Keystation 88 II keyboard. My PC does ...

Re: New Tuxguitar upgrade

It is not a good idea to download applications from sites other than the official developer's site.

Avoid general download sites because you don't know what malware might be bundled with the applications..

Re: Hearing Saver - fix that annoying volume issue in 4.x

I beg to differ. Annoying or not, I think it is a sensible and responsible measure on the part of Android to prevent damage to hearing. What could be more precious to a musician than their hearing? You don't know what you've got 'til its gone (or damaged).
