Hey there everyone,
I'm in the process of retooling my website and adding a blog aimed at
beginners to Linux audio. My next article is going to be a detailed
description on how use ZynAddSubFX and also a "down and dirty" on how
to create unique voices for Zyn and save them. I have a ton of unique
voices for Zyn that I've created over the years that I would like to
share as part of the article, but I'm not sure on the best way to
package them for download. My initial plan was to save each one as a
separate .xmz file and zip all that together but would it be better to
open up the banks folder where they are all saved and zip them up from
there?
Also if anybody wants to sharpshoot glaring errors in the articles on
my blog (all 2 entries so far) it is available @
http://makinglinuxmusic.blogspot.com
Thank you for your time

I visited the site and was pleasantly surprised. To be honest, not sure what I was
expecting, but whatever it was, your site seemed logical/methodical in formatting and
content. As a matter of fact, wish that you could tweak more than a couple of them there
at ubuntuforums.com. The closest thing to a "weakness" and it was not even that
at all, with the content is that on some ubuntu setups, need to set up a group called
audio and make sure your name is in there (yes, there are some other work arounds as
well). As a former teacher, one of the things that can bother myself and others is proper
spelling and grammar. Not sure how you will take this, but will offer an A+ each for
content, delivery and spelling/grammar.
I liked how you steered clear of the flame/distrowars quite nicely by stating that you use
both of them for different things and there are good/ bad things about them. Most
importantly, you knew when to stop talking and let it drop. Bravo!! Please teach lessons
online.
With all of that said, will say this. Would love to test some of those zynaddsub files for
you. Top notch work. All in all, I should say that I bookmarked it and am looking
forward to (hopefully) regular visits.
Hope that encourages you,
Paul
