| Music hardware and software I use. Just because I am bored and wondering if anyone wants to know what hardware and software I use to make music, here is a list of things I use. Hardware. Gateway laptop 3550 Sound card: I use the built in sound card Amplifier and speakers: A small Sony stereo system. Has a stereo input Allows for me to hook my laptop directly to the speakers. Printers: I own a Lexmark x1185, I use that one for scanning. I also own a Cannon Pixma IP4500, this particular printer I bought at Circuit City for a great price It has the ability to print directly on to CDRs and DVDs. It's a fantastic printer. (Note. Because I use linux I can't use this printers at there full potential. So I just use my brothers computer and have the printing done with Windows Xp. Unfortunatly the printers I have don't work well with Linux.) Software. On my Gateway laptop, I have two Operating systems. I use both Puppy Linux, 4.3.1 and Musix. Puppy Linux 4.3.1 runs from a cdr. I have Musix installed on the hardrive. I use Puppy Linux for internet based activity and art and music, Puppy linux also has fantastic audio capabilities. Theres is what you call a .sfs file that can be downloaded from here. You basically just load it into the /mnt/home dir and use the the boot manager in the menu to use it after booting up in Puppy Linux. Great work that guy did to make Lashstudio function on Puppy Linux. Lash studio related Lash studio for Puppy Linux has a lot of software packed in it, for me I primarly use it for: Muse - A midi/audio sequencer MhwaveEdit: a audio editor Lots of others, check out the link at the top to learn more! Musix related Musix has a lot of great software packed in it as well. I mainly use it for: Rosegarden: A midi/audio sequencer Hydrogen: A software drum machine Audacity: An audio editor Rezound: An audio editor Dssi fluid synth: A player for sf2 soundfonts Musix has a lot of applications too many to name, but the above is what I use mostly. Design software. I also use gimp on Puppy Linux and Musix, good software for making album covers. |
