benprunty Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Hey folks. I just got me a linux laptop and I was thinking it would be fun to put tracker or other composition type software on it. Well, not the act itself. Trying to put anything on linux isn't exactly fun. Anyway, you guys have any recommendations? Thanks. -Ben Quote
nrich Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Is it a pure Linux system, or do you have Windows available as a dual boot? With the Wine application, you can run Windows-based programs through Linux without having to switch over (FL Studio, for example). I've tested it out recently and it seemed to work fairly well, but I wouldn't know of any Linux compatible trackers other than that. Quote
OverCoat Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Renoise is the best tracker for Linux. It'll run you about $70, which is a bad price for a tracker [which is usually free] but amazingly cheap when compared to the average DAW which has more or less the same functionality. And Renoise is really fun to use, especially if you're a FT2 vet. Quote
benprunty Posted August 16, 2008 Author Posted August 16, 2008 Thanks for the help guys! I'm using an Asus Eee pc, and it'll be a lot of fun to mess around with it. Quote
OverCoat Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 That's funny, I chat on #renoise with an Estonian guy who uses an Eee Quote
