Rosegarden-14.02 for Carolina

#1 Post by battleshooter »

ImageImage

Rosegarden is a music composition and editing environment based around a MIDI sequencer that features a rich understanding of music notation and includes basic support for digital audio.

Easy-to-learn, Rosegarden is an attractive application that runs on Linux, ideal for composers, musicians, music students, and small studio or home recording environments.

Yep, there's a ridiculously large amount of stuff going on in that screenshot. Click for full screen.

I keep compiling software I'm not really sure how to use. I tested sound and loaded up a few samples all fine and well, but as with Cinelerra, not really sure if everything is behaving as it should. So I suppose it goes without saying, feedback would be nice. Anything missing that's important? I'd can try and recompile again if it's important.

I've included QSynth with the SFS, because unless you have a physical MIDI output, you'll be getting no sound. I found these two guides useful in setting up a software MIDI output:

Look Ma, no Jackd!
Setting up Rosegarden (for MIDI music) in Linux (Ubuntu 8.04)

I have a ton of soundfonts on my computer so I didn't test the suggested soundfont in the second post, but the instructions are sound. (No pun intended ;) :P)

This seems to work in Precise - tested in a remastered Version of FluxPup Precise (no additional libs installed, just loaded Qt by SFS).

Though, Rosegarden is a Audio and MIDI Sequenzer Application and this one gives a message that said it wasn't build with Audio Support, so I couldn't import a .wav File to do some testings.

Hmm, that's strange, because I did compile with JACK and apparently that is what is needed for audio. I will look into that.

Well recompiled and also noticed I forgot to include LADSPA in the SFS. I'm not sure what did it, but I'm able to import a WAV file just fine. Thanks for the feedback RSH.

Tested again in a remastered Version of FluxPup Precise (no additional libs installed, just loaded Qt by SFS). This time it complained the Jack Server not found.

Unloaded the SFS and loaded QJackCtl 0.3.11 SFS, loaded Rosegarden SFS again and successfully imported a .wav File to an Audio Track.

I took some time to import the .wav File (45MB 44100K Stereo Wave File) but it played well after import.

Ardour imported and played .wav Audio without the need to execute and run QJackCtl Application.

Interesting report. I suppose Ardour is a different beast.

I did notice though, when running Rosegarden in a terminal, that JACK starts up automatically. I wonder why it couldn't find JACK for you as I think you've had no problems running the JACK I compiled before.
