I am looking for some recommendations on a couple things relating to Linux and music. This will help me a lot, not only in education of kids but also for personal need to scratch some itches in content creation. Don’t expect any kind of masterpiece from me, just want to dabble a bit.
Composing and playing back music. Think old school MIDI style. I want to be able to play something on a keyboard and digitally record it.
Writing music on screen for printing and playing the analog way. I have some sheet music that I want to rewrite and print out for playing.
I use MuseScore for sheet music and Reaper for all things recording. If you are recording midi or manually composing with midi you need some sort of virtual instrument plugin to convert the midi data into noise.
