I've been playing with audacity and audour. As for an editor, I use
LAOE, it's Java based but it works incredibly well. Full layering
control and all. It just doesn't record, hence why I only use it as an
editor :(

Hi Folks!
Just curious if anyone out there in TriLUG land does much with MIDI
on our favorite platform. I've been doing some looking around, and a
lot of what I've found hasn't been encouraging.
There're two main issues I currently face in wanting to get MIDI
functionality with my current setup. One is composition tools, and so
far I haven't even looked that far into it, because it's currently
undermined by the second issue, which is software synths. If my
onboard sound hardware has a hardware synth at all, it's a cinch that
it sounds like crap, and furthermore FC4 doesn't know anything about
it by default and I don't feel like expending the effort to get it
working when I'm so certain the sound results will be horrid. So I'm
looking for software synth programs, and I'm coming up very discouraged.
Of course, there's TiMidity++, which seems to require a lot of
inside knowledge to get working (and doesn't include a GUI by
default). There's a few others, which all seem to have stagnated or
not be geared toward the simple rendering of a run-of-the-mill MIDI
song.
So I ask you all. What do yous guyses use, if anything?
Cheers,
~Brian
