Re: sound recording under linux
Hi. I do a lot of this kind of thing, so let me tell you what my setup is.
I have two boxes that I use to make my music with. One is an old 486-66 msdos-
debian dualbooter, and the other is a K6-166 linux box. They are both on
ethernet, and I have the MS SMB client for the dos side of the dos box (named
psychosis). I use Impulse Tracker 2.14p3 on the dos side of psychosis to make
my music, (IT is a free mod-type tracker, www.noisemusic.org/it/) save that,
reboot into linux, from which I pull the .it file off psychosis onto phaktory,
the K6 box. I then add any effects with CERES SoundStudio (a commecrial multi-
track wave editor for Linux. A demo version is available on sunsite.), save it
to a .wav, and burn CDs with my HP CD-RW drive.
I would look at SoundStudio for your multitrack recording needs. I think there
are also a few other linux multitrack recorders floating around. Check the
apps/sound/editors subdirectory on sunsite...
As far as the drum machine goes, I don't know of any decent software drum
machines for Linux, but if you get IT working under DOSEMU or something, that is
a pretty good solution. I think you can get the sound working under dosemu with
recent versions, but if not, you can create your drum loops silently and then
mess with them in SoundStudio.
For more information about my music (including some mp3 clips) point yourself
