How to start with DrumGizmo
Posted: Mon Apr 22, 2019 7:25 pm
Hello there!
I'm submit this support request here, because I've spent hours tried to do what is explained in the link below but I still get no sound in ardour 5 using drumgizmo (system is Ubuntu 18.04 LTS + xfce4 ; Cadence to manage jack, jack sink module installed, ardour 5, latest drumgizmo version, Crocekill set)
but still get no sounds in ardour, and I was unable to play along and record my drum part (using a roland TD-4 and Scarlett 2i4).
https://libremusicproduction.com/tutori ... zmo-ardour (also watched the youtube video many times)
It's a very good walkthrough but it takes for granted a lot of aspect that a newbie (like me) in general do not understand and do not even know if he/she don't understand (so if It's needed to adapt the tutorial to your system you do not know when or in which part)
In the past I've used Addictive Drums on Windows with Reaper (it works but I don't like the ecosystem).
Now I'm in a LUG and I would like to promote music production with FOSS software only, so It would be awesome if I can prepare some talk about Drumgizmo and Ardour 5 using, for example, Ubuntu 18.04 or Ubuntu Studio 18.04. I've listened to some Drumgizmo samples and I've fall in love, but cannot make it work!
To be honest I found Ardour 5 "a strange beast" expecially the way it manages the tracks/bus connections (where I'm probably doing something wrong, who knows ...; I mean the routing grid / patchbay IN and OUT).
I don't think that I had to do a super complex thing (I expect a really straight forward workflow, to be honest ...) So really do not understand what is going wrong ..
Have you got some suggestions / "better" walkthrough ? I also tried Qtractor, but I did not found a way to load the plugin.
(Audacity works fine to me, but it cannot manage drumgizmo plugin afaik)
Many thanks in advace!
