I'm wondering if, maybe after the next release, it would make sense to
have some addendums to the current documentation which in some cases
might be a bit dated, e.g. advising to use plugins, with especially DSSI
not being the most maintained in distributions. Even the more 'current'
formats like videos? I think this should be a user community effort and
I always wondered if they'd be useful or not...
I second that, but I also understand the devs' dilema i.e. to code or to
explain?
Well... I'm not a dev, and I've actually wondered what might be helpful
in terms of documentation.
It seems today videos are very popular, but I wonder if they can really
help people get started? Would a short written 'how to make sound with
Rosegarden' be better (also it could be updated versus a video which
might become obsolete)
How should we take into account Linux distribution ecosystem? Could we
just say install at a minimum jack, qjackcrl, yoshimi, fluidsynth, a
soundfont (fluid soundfont probably) and rosegarden. For how to do it
check your distribution. I believe these exist on virtually all major
distributions.
With the above it's actually pretty easy to start making noise with
Rosegarden once the system is set-up and this also applies to simply
using e.g. a Laptop's integrated audio device (without going too much
into low latency etc.). What especially non-linux users have to get used
to is the modularity aspect.
What other topics would be of interest?
Carla can also work with Rosegarden, but one needs a2jmidid as an extra
layer, plus I'm not sure how widespread Carla is in distributions.
Then there's also jack-transport relevant topics, e.g. using rosegarden
together with ardour or qmidiarp etc.
Any ideas are welcome and I'd be happy to help (time (TM) permitting :-) )
