Currently, I make audio with MIDI sequencer / WAV on Ubuntu with ubuntu-studio-installer. But then

  • ubuntu-studio-installer is for installing linux-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.
