Hey everyone --
I just finished up a 2 year Master Certification program through
Berklee Music, the program being "Orchestration for Film& TV". I did
the entire program using Linux, primarily Lilypond, Rosegarden and
Ardour/Mixbus (and some use of xjadeo and Jamin where needed). The only
thing Linux wasn't used for was the use of some sample libraries like
EWQL PLAY and Kontakt, which were hosted on a Windows 7 machine (I
used QMIDINet to handle networked MIDI and ADAT via Lightpipe& S/PDIF
for the return audio).
+1 for doing most of it on Linux. I guess sound libraries are a one of
the current LA problems as they tend rely on proprietary software...
Maybe with LinuxSampler support for sfz something might change.
I have a good deal of my music from these classes on
Soundcloud now:

All the best for your film-scoring career ;)
Lorenzo.
