Re: Ardour headache

[...] I am not having fun, I never would have expected Ardour to be this hard or me. [...] My apologies for not reading this complete topic ('cause I might have said it before in this very same topic) but have you tried Qtractor or Reaper? They both are fine (almost free) DAWs too. Just my 2 cents.

Re: Ubuntu Studio vs LinuxMint 21.3

I didn't mention KX, because to me it was not clear what exactly it is. Thanks for mentioning it clear. I think one could still use it though, no? Yes. You can definitely still use the KXStudio repositories . As a matter of fact most Linux musicians do. I recently switched from the latest Carla ver...

Re: Please help me install Midieditor (dependency difficulty)

Are we talking about this midieditor that one has to install from an external .deb package and not from Ubuntu's standard repositories?: http://www.midieditor.org/index.php?category=download If so, your distro (Ubuntu 22 'Jammy') may not have Qt5 installed per default... Neither does it have the doc...

Re: Ubuntu Studio vs LinuxMint 21.3

Those are the two things i use multimedia distros for (a) look what is out there b) add what is not in the default repos). Yeah, one advantage of a specialized distro for music could be software availability in its repo. They could pack more, and more up-to-date stuff. That said, the only pro-audio...

Re: Dual Keys & Split Keys with QSynth

@noedig I thought that Jack programs would work with Pipewire without modification, since Pipewire provides a Jack compatible server. Note that some users (Debian bookworm / bullseye and related) are going to be running an old version of Pipewire (pre the 1.0 release which added true pro-audio supp...

Re: CALF plugins?

The real problem here is software (or development stuff, I don't know what to call it) that is not backwards compatible. Companies that do that should be banned from distributing their ever again! You shot a bit over the top. Checkout what we all get from GTK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_...

Re: What's everyone using to sequence drums?

I'm finding it difficult to actually pinpoint the issue at the moment mind you. Sometimes it's fine, other times it's not. I'd need to be able to give definite steps to recreate it. I experienced those problems years ago in Hydrogen. I thought is was because didn't configure Jack tempo master/slave...

Re: CALF plugins?

CALF plugins are still in Debian stable ("Bookworm"). Chances are that Debian will keep gtk2 for a long time since Debian is not run by teenagers who love the newest hot shit – and don't care about people who just want to use computers to get things done instead of installing and learning...

Re: Arturia Midi Driver - has anybody got it working in WINE? (subject amended)

I just went back and read the first post. You have the 5 pin midi out on that keyboard. It will definitely work on Linux. You need to buy a $15 class compliant USB to midi cable, and use that to connect to the keyboard. Getting it to work isn't the issue, it's configuring the hardware that can't be...

Well, I've finally given up. Arturia's been good about responding to my queries; I just don't like what they respond WITH ("We don't support linux and have no interest in supporting linux"). :roll: And no combination WINE tweakery and trickery can coerce MIDI Control Center into talking t...

Thank you all for the explanations of the "invisible" pixel/link. And thanks for the AI bot warning. I'm getting old: I need this sort of info on how the internet changes. :)

Re: I think it's that time of the year again

What are the tricks to identifying a bot? I haven’t noticed any here—although others have pointed them out. The only obvious bots I have recognized in the past were those annoying DiscoDSP support comments that were used on KVRAudio. A first-time poster replying to what may be a months or years old...
