I don't know what Reason is but you should try Jokosher and Audacity, grab some samples from the web (freesound project etc) and then you should be ready.

I wanted some instruments to play.. no samples..
lyke synts.. u know.. i habe Evolution Mk-425 and i want to use it :)

u know FTL? i don't use it.. but something like that... for ubuntu

I'd definately love a Cubase SX 3 replacement.

[SoundFlame]

pianos - zynaddsubfx for playing live
synths - see above
drum machine - hydrogen

for all of above with midi, try LMMS or Rosegarden

Don't hold your breath for a Cubase replacement, or Reason, or any of these things. Its not the nature of the game, nor should it be.

Would we all be happier if there was a Cubase clone that had minor inconsistencies and was looked upon as a cheap ripoff?
No, I think the power of linux audio comes from modularity, from using applications that do what they do really well. Like hydrogen with drums, and ardour with audio editing.

Personally I like the interface of TuxGuitar, so I write my composition there, and import the midi file into LMMS or Rosegarden, and drum tracks from Hydrogen..
Usually I just deal with audio though, maybe someone more midi oriented has better ideas for you!

Yeah u are right,,, where i can get information on how to install lmms, i've download it and isntall it tru the Synaptic Package Manager.. but i can't see it in my Aplications menu nowhere...
i have to say that i'm compleatly new to ubuntu yeah i'm noob here.. but i have some experience with music production osftware and operating systems...

so please anyone... can u tell me how to install lmms?

[Eisenwinter]

sudo apt-get install lmms

After that, in terminal, type lmms.
That'll launch it.


I've used LMMS many times before, and unfortunately, after using Cubase for a long period (over a year now), I just can't use LMMS.
I miss the options Cubase provides.

Cubase was the one thing holding me from moving back to Linux, after I used it.
So recently I said "ah well what the hell" and moved back.
I don't for a second regret this.

I just miss Cubase at times :(

Reaper is a really great Windows audio/midi sequencer. Very reasonably priced and an amazing development cycle - constant updates to a very stable code base. I find it much better than Cubase, which I used for years, though the midi side is still catching up with Cubase.

The reason I mention it is that some people have it running well under WINE in linux. I might try setting it up myself when I have more time... I'm just running a WUBI installation of Hardy Heron at the moment.
