I would like to get started editing a simple score and producing some<br>
sound from it.<br>
<br>
I have tried rosegarden recently but I can get no sound out of it. It<br>
is far more than I require, as my confidence increases perhaps it is<br>
what I will need but I simply cannot tell at this point.<br>
<br>
In the past I have used csound, it has a less useful interface (suits<br>
me) and is the closest to what I want but I need to get a colleague<br>
entering a score and a text editor will not do.<br>
<br>
I am at my wits end, what I might need is a beginners guide for<br>
rosegarden, or better still a simpler programme, or virtual keyboard<br>
(best).<br>
<br>
I am completely swamped by all the options that I have and hence am a<br>
bit paralysed. I can tell that whatever I choose will require a big<br>
investment in time to learn but I cannot be sure that it is worth the<br>
investment. And being unable to get any sound at all is very demoralising.<br>

PS I have been doing a lot of sound recording and editing with Linux and<br>
a M-Audio interface (usually) and a PreSonus AudioBox 1818VSL when I<br>
have to mostly into audacity. When I am absolutely forced to (when<br>
using > 2 tracks where Audacity cannot cope yet) I use audacious. I<br>
find audacious endlessly irritating for the same problems I outline<br>
above, so many options, so many knobs, where do I start? But audacity<br>
pretty much just worked.<br>
