Friendly Foil Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I didn't really like the drums. A bit too glitchy. BUT the synths and melodies were gorgeous. Sounds very 'classic electronic music'-like... whatever that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorGreen Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 This is great! The melody that comes in at 1:37 is wonderful, and the ending leaves me with a very complete feeling. Does that software happen to be Renoise? Or is it another sequencer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GatorGreen Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Oops, I should have followed through on the player link. That looks like a very interesting project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foresense Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 wow nice tune. nice looking software as well, the best thing I was using was Seq24 when I last visited Linux, but this looks interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest orbitfold Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Cool - how does Linux rate compared to Windows in terms of speed? Not sure what you mean. The computer stays the same no matter what OS you install. Linux is highly customizable so you can have a light-weight system or a bloated crawling snail of doom on par with Windows machines. The programs run at the same speed if they are compiled with similar compilers using similar options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardcode Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 not necessarily. the os can have embedded processes that you have no control over that may interfere with the performance of the software. this is the reason why benchmark tests exist. i dont have a link for windows vs linux, but i do have one for windows vs mac: http://www.dawbench.com/win7-v-osx-1.htm careful where you post that because i posted it on the brandance.co.uk forum, I was banned and the post was immediately removed.

Guest orbitfold Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 You have pretty fine-grained control over all the system processes on Linux. It also heavily depend on what you do. A Linux distribution built for servers is not necessarily going to be fast on Desktops, since it may be fine tuned for fast I/O, disk performance or whatever at expense of other things. There is no one "Linux" to benchmark against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardcode Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 you mean the nice level? that can be changed in windows too it's called "priority" and it doesnt make that much of a difference. so you're aware of a particular linux distro that's fine tuned for DAW performance?

Guest orbitfold Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 There's more to it than using nice on processes. You can patch the kernel to use different process scheduling that is more suited for desktops for example http://users.on.net/~ckolivas/kernel/. You can fine-tune other kernel options too. Once upon a time there were benefits to compiling the kernel to run in real-time http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real-time_operating_system. Not sure about now. I don't use any audio specific distros, but there are some. Since I don't record anything and Neils' machines don't use that much CPU anyway its irrelevant to me.
