what are the best packages (similar to Cakewalk or Cubasis) for a wannabe "Disco Noise" composer.
Rosegarden and Muse are the big midi sequencers for Gnu. On the offchance you're running Mandrake, this page is indespensible for music: http://rpm.nyvalls.se/sound10.0.html Even if you're not it's worth looking at the docs. You'll likely want vkeyb (virtual midi keyboard) and/or one of the aconnect frontends for midi routing, eg. kaconnect, or qjackctl if you think you might want to run the jack-audio-connection kit, which you'd need for realtime audio. Gnu audio's all a bit of a work in progress at the moment, but you should already be able to do real work, particularly if you just want midi. HTH.
