My Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) setup
Currently, I make audio with MIDI sequencer / WAV on Ubuntu with ubuntu-studio-installer
. But then
ubuntu-studio-installer
is for installinglinux-lowlatency
kernel only.- I removed Studio Control, and add KXStudio repo and install Cadence for JACK.
- Cadence for JACK works well with headphones, but not Bluetooth speakers.
- QSynth, with installed SoundFonts for MIDI.
- Instead of Ardour, I use Rosegarden for audio mixing.
- Rosegarden can edit WAV with Audacity, for WAV transformation.
- Oddly, I can't find a way for Rosegarden to render MIDI, but the can easily be fixed with Cadence Render.
- Hydrogen drumkits, to generate MIDI for drums.
- Frescobaldi, to generate MIDI for piano.
- Can be simpler to use than Rosegarden's built-in score editor.
- Both Rosegarden and Hydrogen have lots of examples and demos.
pavucontrol
or PulseAudio Volume Control, if you need to tweak the loudness.
