How about Patcon? No, that's taken. PattyCakes? Haha. Just thinking out loud.

Hi milo, I've been away for a while and am relieved I haven't missed this! Catchy songs and turnarounds! Very much enjoyed the DIY Indie-folk vibe, very engaging to listen to. I like how you've programmed some of the drums, a close listen indicates they are programmed but you're doing interesting t...

I had trouble upgrading from Mint 18.x to 19.x. Just weird problems everywhere. Rather than troubleshoot I just did a fresh install of Mint 19 and then everything was fine. That was faster than trying to ferret out what went wrong with the upgrade. Good luck, and I hope you get it running soon!

I dunno. Maybe boot with the older kernel and see if that works.

Have you used qjackctl or anything like that to try to control jack? Was it working in the past and then stopped working?

Sweet! Thanks for your awesome work. Guitarix is one of my favorite tools ever. I can't believe I ever made music without it!

Sounds like it was pulled from about 30 years ago! As soon as I heard the chorus bass intro I knew I was going to like this one. The direction you took surprised me, though -- there is a lot of random stuff in this track. It sounds like it was a lot of fun to make.

Thanks for sharing this!

Ooo! I want one!

I really like the composition. You have a nice melody, and I think the orchestration builds to a nice climax. It's hard to say which version I like better. The horns at the end sound better on the first version, I think. The dynamics seem a bit better on the second version, though. I agree with Mich...

That sounds really good, Michael! I don't have my nice monitor speakers or headphones here in my office, but on my little pc speakers it sounds pretty good. I'll give it a listen on the nicer system when I get home.

the inability to replace the track when I have updates. My best recommendation: host your own website with WordPress, Squarespace, etc. Ampache is an old media-focused CMS that could serve that purpose. That's what I do. My music site is hosted by Wordpress.com, so I don't even have to maintain the...

This is a nice sketch. Good choice of sounds, and a good balance between them. The track has a hypnotic effect, inducing a nice mood. The guitar part in particular feels like it needs to be fleshed out a bit more.

I think this song could make a nice rhapsody if you developed the middle section more. My favorite part is right after the metal guitar thrash, from about 1:35-1:45, where the synth comes in on top of the guitar. It sounds like a prog rock jam, and I really like that texture you create. It left me a...

Yeah! Nice to see some updates to this great tool! Is there a changelog somewhere? I don't see one on the git page. What are the biggest changes with this version?

Thank you for your work on this!
