What a bunch of crap! Grrrr.... :/


Thanks for the heads up!

I'm wondering whether your laptop would work as a Hackintosh?

Good God! Why would I want to do that?!?!? :)

I'm waiting on the Linux distro that allows you to emulate 68k Amiga and use it as the GUI giving access to Linux and Wine, etc.

It's coming, it's coming! ;)

There is only one reason and that is for Logic Pro. :)

Yeah but AEROS won't work on your laptop because it uses a recent version of Xorg. :/

Hmmm... actually OctaMED S.S. and all my hardware does the job, I don't need Logic Pro (as cool as it may be). As for this Laptop, I may well leave Winblows on it and sell it in order to buy one that gives me less grief.

Intel and Nvidia GPUs are your safest bet for Linux support.

On a side note, have you ever tried FL Studio? It runs
 great on Linux with the WineASIO drivers and a realtime kernel.

I made a drumstep tune with it last year to get a feel for it and I really liked it. Not used it since though.

I have, it's a pretty nifty program, but again, I prefer to compose on my Amiga via OctaMED S.S., MIDI, and real hardware.

Here's what I've got:

Kaossilator I, Kaos Pad 3, MicroKorg, Tascam DR-07, Akai XR-20 Drum Machine, ART Tube MP Microphone Preamp (Model 127), Mic with Mic Stand, and a few other odds and ends like a lap harp and such. Oh, and let's not forget the A1200 with 80Mhz 060! ;)

Phwoar!! :)

I'm 100% software based these days (Apart from my Yamaha KX-25 controller keyboard).

I think that's generally how it goes...

Those of us who started off software based, tend to end up with hardware, and those who began with hardware, end up leaning towards software in the end. :)

Have you ever tried Renoise ? its like Octamed on some serious steroids - cross platform too (Linux / Windows / OSX) Really short learning curve too - the majority of the key mappings are the same as Octamed.

Should I be sticking with 32bit distros or  64bit?

My CPU's of course are 64bit.

Yes, I can't believe I'm still dabbling with this stuff after I have said numerous times in this thread that I'm fed up. ;)
