My impression after using GarageBand just a few minutes is, that it can be used to easily get a result that deeply impress listeners. But how many really different songs can you produce using the same sounds by the same playing techniques? I'm using tools like Ardour, Qtractor etc. were it takes much longer to get a result that deeply impress listeners and perhaps the result won't impress a listener at all, but the result would be what I played, nothing that is restrained by provided patterns. >But, as I understand, creating new, free soundfonts (free as in >freedom) can help solve the problem... am I wrong? Yes and no. It depends on what you're missing. Sometimes you need better soundfonts, but sometimes you can't simply play the samples, you need to add effects and/or edit the MIDI data, or you need special instruments to play the samples. There are very good MIDI drum sets available to play drum samples, instead of using a keyboard. IOW which sounds you used with Linux were not as good, as the sounds you used with GarageBand? Perhaps somebody could recommend a good soundfont or effect you could use with Linux, or a Linux helper tool. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
