Hi :)
again a long email ;) (less than 2 DIN A4 sites) but maybe a solution.
I'm writing from my 64 Studio's default install. I only receive mails
with my 64 Studio Lenny, if there will be any replies, I'll reply back
later.
Maybe there will be trouble because I started a song with Rosegarden4
1.6.1, continued with 1.7.0 and 1.7.1 and changed distros, Suse 11.0, 64
Studio Lenny, 64 Studio default Etch. If there is a bug in the
sequencer's data file I'll take this with the data from test to test.
I wish to know about experiences with the actual default install of 64
Studio and MIDI sequencers. I know that Will downgraded Rosegarden4 to
version 1.6.1 and now for him it's fine again. Is anybody fine with
1.7.0 or 1.7.1?
What's about other sequencers, especially Muse?
Is there any other mixer available than JackEQ? Compiling any other
mixer for the default install didn't work for me.
I installed LMMS 0.2.1-1.1, muse 0.8.1a-4 and Seq24 0.8.6-2, as far as I
remember these sequencers are less functional than Rosegarden, but maybe
good enough to record and play back a song from/to Rosegarden and I
especially might be wrong with this for Muse.
I read that Seq24 should have more MIDI jitter than Rosegarden and after
running it I couldn't notice any optical changes, so maybe this
sequencer is still a joke, but this impression might be wrong.
LMMS looks fine, MIDI IOs are also fine, but I need to know if it's
possible not to quantize, because I might need a higher resolution.
The first impression of muse was, that it seems to be very near to
Cubase, e.g. it's possible to mute segments, a delay and negative delay
seems to be possible, until now I don't know what a step of 1 means, but
maybe it's more precise than the delay that's possible with Rosegarden.
Muse perhaps is fine, but I have one question. If I'll replace
Roasegarden's Fluidsynth DSSIs by QSynth for Muse, how will I be able to
do the mixing. The only mixer for 64 Studio seems to be JackEQ. Am I wrong?
It might be that Muse can replace Rosegarden for me, if I will be able
to do a mixing for Fluidsynth when using Muse. If so I won't copy the
song back to Rosegarden.
If all those sequencers won't be able to record the Rosegarden song, I
still have a sequencer that's much more functional than any Linux
sequencer I know and that should be able to record the Rosegarden song
without loss of quantization.
I'll brush the dust of my Atari ST, it's a 520ST with 4096MB RAM, only a
blitter, an adapter for multiple independent MIDI ports, SMPTE and
multiple dongle key slots and free SCSI space, resp. free 3.5" DD disks
are missing and especially enough free space in my music room, but it
should be fine to copy a MIDI song from the 64 Studio 2.1 DAW to the
Atari ST and back to the 64 Studio 2.1 DAW. The Cubase dongle key is
still in the Atari's cartridge port. I'll run the Atari ST as MTC slave,
if I can't do the copy within 64 Studio.
I don't like to have more than one computer running, but maybe a new
SCSI HD for the Atari and using 64 Studio as HD recorder and sample
player will be a solution if Rosegarden will be the cause for the
troubles I've got and Muse won't be able to replace Rosegarden. I will
be more fine with this, than to use Windows.
If so, I also only need a virtual mixer for 64 Studio, because I can't
use my real mixer, the TerraTec only has tow IOs.
Cheers,
Ralf
