[linux-audio-user] linux version of this?

I asked someone how they did some recording with midi that sounded real. The response follows: "I found a free ware program called Anvil studio, with this I can find a midi i like on the net and take out every thing but the parts i want (the drum track and bass track). If i dont like the bass sound i can choose from different bass sounds like acustic, fretless, fingerpicked, slap, ect. you cant change the drums but you can adjust the balance between the base and drums.Then i put it on cassette tape ( I use my 424 ) or you can use audacity (use the "what-u-hear tab") You can adjust the EQ to make it sound better also. with the audacity you can boost the bass and ad some compresion to the bass. then you add your vocal, guitars, keyboard, ect and you got a band" Do we have anything like that? Something that can take midi and make it sound more real? -- Our enemies are innovative and resourceful - and so are we They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people - and neither do we. -- George W.
