The sound was much better on my computer when I tried it "live". This
is probably due to their screencast (or to my bad ears :) ).<br>
<br>
Do you manage to use Rebirth under linux ? I don't know TB-303, TR-808
and TR-909 but I played a bit a long time ago with a MC-303 and this is
the kind of sound I'm looking for.<br>

<div>Quite a few buffer underruns by the looks of it. Probably a
config issue on that particular computer. But I would be tearing my
hair out if I had to put up with audio drops when enabling sequencer
parts like that :(<br>

this is where my Linux love goes sour I'm afraid...

<div>The last time I tried using Linux to make music was a good few
years ago (maybe 4 or 5) and I was so frustrated by the whole thing
that I vowed never to try again. In fact I would rather use Windows
than Linux for doing music on...</div>

<div>Having said that, I was completely unaware of lmms until you
mentioned it. It looks like a cross between Fruity Loops (which I must
say, I personally regard as a toy comapared to a Cubase/Logic/Reason
combo) and Garageband (which is most definitely a toy!). But for the
purpose of creating loops and such it looks reasonable.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Think I might have to give this a go, see if i can get it
running in Crunchbang Linux.</div>

<div>If you have no problem using a proprietary product that is now
free, Propellerheads ReBirth has been a free download for many years
now, and that is a pattern based sequencer with software emulations of
the venerable TB-303, TR-808 and TR-909. But i dunno if those
instruments would cater to the kind of music you're looking for.</div>

<div>I myself am starting work on a soundtrack for an independent
computer game, so I'll be looking to experiment!</div>

It seems that there's a large community of skilled people in music in<br>
this lug so I try to benefit from your experience. I've just found lmms<br>
(<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://lmms.sourceforge.net/"
target="_blank">http://lmms.sourceforge.net/</a>) when I was looking
for a software similar<br>
to fruity loops for linux. I want to use it to create some simple<br>
background music for a videogame I've started to work on. It's seems to<br>
fulfill my goal but the learning curve seems quite steep. Do you have<br>
any opinion on this software ? or maybe another similar software that<br>
you would recommend ? Or just some nice tutorial on how to start<br>
creating nice and simple music loops?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help<br>
Jerome<br>
