Hello all
I'm new to this list and a linux user for 1 year. I use to play guitar
and i'm planning to learn to play drum. As i'm starting to create my
own songs and i wanna record it to my pc, i need some tips and advices
about, witch programs to use and where to start reading about it.
I wanna start reading about drum machines too, i've already downloaded
and installed the Hydrogen Drum Machine, what do you have to say about
it ? Is there another one better? Where can i find texts about
programming these drum machines ?
And the last doubt, i have an Amplifier with a line out and a phone
plug, and i want to play the guitar and record it in the computer but
using the amplifier to have a better sound and its distortion. My
soundcard is a Onboard VIA AC97 (my mobo is a Asus A7V8X-X). Can i
record it? Using the lino out of the amplifier and the line in of the
soundcard ? I've tried but nothing happens, but if i try to plug the
guitar into the soundcard's line in, i can hear it, but a bad and low
song.
Thanks (and sorry for any english mistake, i'm from Brazil =-] ).

Hello Bruno.
For the guitar, consider the Caps plugin suite and its cabinet
simulator, among others very good plugins included in it. You can plug the
output of the *preamp* in a sound card, without amp, and get a nice
sound. The CAPS plugins work fine together in a jack-rack.

About your sound card, I fear you'll soon encounter important
problems for seriously working with it...
Cheers,
Y.

Hi and welcome, im also new to this list and also a brazilian :), though
i can answer some questions you made but not all of them that i can let
to more experienced users to do so, first you would like to take look at
jack audio connection kit, this is the place to begin in my opinion
cause it enable a low-latency server that supports multi connections
allowing you to record songs that you made in a high quality performance
and have response in real time, you can read more about it here :
http://jackit.sourceforge.net/
and here:
http://linux-sound.org/one-page.html#jack
I wanna start reading about drum machines too, i've already downloaded
and installed the Hydrogen Drum Machine, what do you have to say about
it ? Is there another one better? Where can i find texts about

i dont know about making custom drumkits for hydrogen but you can
download their drumkits at the official site, there is also a good place
to gather more information about it.

I dont have experience in this field so i ask for someone else answer
this for you.
Thanks (and sorry for any english mistake, i'm

welcome e de nada.

Thanks both of you :-)
Today i've tried the jack audio connection kit and i loved it. I've
tried the CAPS plugins too (with jack-rack) and it worked very fine
:-)
I've plugged my guitar direct into the line in of my soundcard and its
sound really good.After trying a few times, i could send the sound
from the amp to the soundcard, but now with the CAPS and JACK i dont
need it anymore :-)
Thanks again,

Hi Bruno, welcome to the list.
For recording, the weapon of choice is Ardour.
As for Hydrogen, I think it's a very good drum machine for playing with
or jamming, but I wouldn't use it in music production.
The sample kits are rather limited.
I'm working on a series of drum sample kits for the excellent
ZynAddSubFX synthesizer.
If you prefer acoustic samples, I would get them from
http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/, and load them into the sampler Specimen,
and trigger them with the sequencer Seq24.
This way you will have unlimited supply of samples because there are
constantly people recording samples and uploading them to the freesound
project, while hydrogen samples largely depend on the work of one person.

IIRC Hydrogen is based on libsndfile so you should be able to use any
sounds in any format supported by that excellent library.

Emiliano Grilli and Artemiy Pavlov have designed excellent kits for
Hydrogen, and you can easily create & save your own kits from any sounds
you prefer.

There are also hydrogen mappings available for the Natural Studio kit:

And the mapping file is here:

Gneutronica is the MIDI drum sequencer I made. It has some good points
(pretty flexible tempo control, easy, one click setting of note placement
and velocity) It has some limitations too of course (right now only works
with raw midi interface, not the alsa sequencer interface (snd-virmidi
gets around that though.) and doesn't sync with Jack... I plan to work on
that...eventually I'll get it there.) In any case, I've made some
tolerable drum tracks with it. http://gneutronica.sourceforge.net

If you prefer synthesised drums you can also try the drum synth smack.
http://smack.berlios.de If you want TRX0X style drums and dance style
stuff it could be what your looking for. I use hydrogen for sampled
stuff, though i don't use the built in sequencer. I find seq24 more
useful.

I would.
Why not make the drumkit you want for Hydrogen?
