Both the notation and matrix editors are supremely usable... thanks to a plentiful supply of keyboard shortcuts." "The notation editor in particular is excellent, and produces beautiful-looking scores on screen... even more beautiful hard copy is possible. The notation editor is a delight to use and just packed with features... a powerful environment for sequencing and editing music." - Linux Format Magazine "combines audio recording, MIDI sequencing, full editing for MIDI and audio data, and music notation, all in one package... the Cubase of the Linux world." - Computer Music Magazine "a sophisticated MIDI [and] Audio sequencer, which also incorporates a high-quality score editor... the closest native equivalent to Cubase for Linux" - Sound on Sound Magazine Press Quotes about Studio to Go! "A comprehensive selection of useful packages [with a] good collection of demo content and tutorial files. Combined with a USB drive, it really is a Studio to Go!" - "Computer Music" Magazine Page 2 "load in a CD, boot up, and you have an entire studio filled with Linux music software ready to run, on any PC. Mastering tools, synths, drum machine, multitrack recording, notation, it's all there -- with zero configuration. You can even run Windows VSTs right in Linux... Brilliant -- and much-improved from my failed attempt to get Mandrake running on my own." - "Create Digital Music" Online Magazine Comments from registered users of Studio to Go! "A superb product. I am impressed!" "[W]hat a beautiful piece of work 'Studio to Go' is." "I'm very impressed with Studio to Go! - I was making sounds on it within 5 minutes! The short tutorials were just what is needed to get you started... well worth the money." "It just boots up from CD absolutely no problem ... hats off to you!" "[Studio to Go!] feels stable... you have a great product. The interface is clear and concise ... the best interface of any software sequencer I've seen."

  • Datapond – Data Driven Music Builder
    DataPond – Data Driven Music Builder DataPond Data Driven Music Builder Over the past couple of months I have been attempting to teach myself to read music. This is something that I have been meaning to do for a long time. In high school the music teachers seemed to have no interest in students other than those with existing natural talent. The rest of us, they just taught appreciation of Bob Dylan. I can't stand Bob Dylan. So I never learned to read music or play an instrument. Having discovered the enjoyment of making stringed instruments such as the papermaché sitar, the Bad-Arse Mountain Dulcimer, a Windharp (inspired by this one), and a couple of other odd instruments. More recently I made a Lap Steel Slide guitar based on the electronics described in David Eric Nelson's great book “Junkyard Jam Band” and on Shane Speal's guide on building Lapsteels. I built mine out of waste wood palette wood and it connects to an old computer speaker system I pulled out of my junk box and turned to the purpose. It ended up sounding pretty good – to my ear at least. Anyway, I have instruments-a-plenty, but didn't know how to play'em so I decided to teach myself music. The biggest early challenge was reading music. I'm sure it would have been easier if a mathematician had been involved in designing the notation system. To teach myself I decided that reading sheet music and transcribing it into the computer would be a good way of doing it.

  • Quick Guide Vers 3.4 Most Options Will Be Set Automatically, When the Info Needed by the Destination Format Is Contained in the Source Format
    What’s new (v3.4)? More formats Ardour, Tracktion & CMX 3600, 3400, 340 EDL & other CMX’like files (eg Grass Valley 4 &7 & Cudos) You can now specify a Reaper RPP as a session ‘template’ to be used when converting to Reaper format. Samplitude EDL, you can now choose to offset all clips by the Offset amount in the source session. Extracted OMF info, media files & session data can be written back to the OMF source folder. Much more detail is extracted from PT5 sessions, eg BPM, Beat markers, lists of Fx & plug-in’s used; now listed in for example the Reaper notes section. Recombine split stereo (.L&.R) files from for example, ProTools, to a sub folder called ‘Stereo’. Pro Tools import & Export has been enhanced considerably. Eg mute envelopes now fully supported. (both read & write) You no longer need to “unhide” hidden PT5 files originated on a Mac, AATranslator can now “see” any pt5 files whether hidden or not. PT5 export, can use either Clip or track/timeline based automation envelopes from all of the far more capable source formats, that include both of these types of automation.. There is now a Mac OSX export function for PT5 sessions. The notes have been substantially re-written, much clearer & even more vital to read. Note if Pro Tools (now known as, Avid Audio) is important to you, do read the notes. PT does have very specific requirements that are far more strict than any other DAW. PT can work really well, but it’s a very picky DAW, so make sure you deliver what it requires, this is very very important.

  • What Is a DAW? What Is a DAW?
    2021/07/26 16:00 (UTC) 1/2 What is a DAW? What is a DAW? In simple terms, a Digital Audio Workstation is a device where you create and manipulate digital audio. Before the era of personal computing, a DAW would be a complex piece of (expensive) hardware which was only within reach of music studios or artists of name and fame. A good example of an early DAW is the Fairlight CMI (Computer Musical Instrument), released in the late 70’s of the previous century. This Fairlight was also one of the first to offer a digital sampler. The picture at the left of this page is its monitor with a light-pen input. These days, the name “DAW” is often used for the actual software used to produce music, like the free Ardour, LMMS, or the commercial Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Pro Tools, etcetera. But “Digital Audio Workstation” also applies to the computer on which this software is running and whose software and hardware is tailored to the task of creating music. To make it easier for musicians who use Linux, you can find a number of custom distributions with a focus on making electronic music, such as StudioWare (Slackware based), AV Linux (Debian based), QStudio64 (Mint based), so that you do not have to spend a lot of time configuring your Operating System and toolkits. Overview of DAW related content Page Description Tags Slackware Live DAW: Compensating Latency Overview of Slackware Live Latency and its Sources Audio data is moved in “chunks”, howtos, DAW: called buffers, which contain a number of audio samples.
