cubase? it's good,but not much chance on linux. try JACK related apps. a hassle,but..
I just got myself three computers,,,they all have Linux Ubuntu
I was wondering if anyone uses Linux, and if so what recording software they recommend..and anyone who successfully got Cubase running on it please chime in.
i notice some people here giving cubase a hard time!
i've been using cubase for over ten years,and its fine.
and i know many professionalsd who use it very succesfully.
my favorite examplebeing the psychedelic techno act,eatstatic,who surpass most techno acts.they use it as a mastering device.
using it in linux platforms?well,the problem is most linux platforms arnt designed with music recoirding in mind. unless you can rebuild any of the laptops/pc's u have.
some folk might suggest a combination of wine/playonlinux which act as a virtual windows on your linux computer so you can run windows programs, but i find it pretty lousy. most things dont work well on it.
in fact,i find it really hard running most quality music production things on linux.
for the time being i just wouldnt bother, and keep a little , but good laptop running windows 7 to do my serious stuff on until you get a good set up,if possible,on one of your linux platforms.
i love the idea of being free from windows/mac, but i find i spend MORE time messing around trying to get things running than i do actually working on the things i like to do with linux (currently have ubuntu 14.04 installed).
there is a load of devices that come under the umbrella of "JACK" and they all can be connected together. they seem to all be very good in what they do. however,it's a nightmare getting them to doit.
and you may spend more time reading uup onthem to get them running than you spend recording.
.
keep at it,and do post in here and let us know how you get on and with what. and i'll do same.
yours,Un.
