Many musicians do not switch to Linux because there are programs to help them, such as Guitar Pro. Here's a quick guide to the open source alternative to Linux.
is easily said and done:
TuxGuitar is an application in Java finally come to a stable and funzionanate that reads and writes to file. "Gpx".
As the install?
(start by saying that whatever you find written in this way
or text type on the terminal, or is about to enter text configuration files) First, it is in Java ... then you need to have Java installed properly (there are guides to misrepresent the way ... then RTFM (Read That Fucking Manual)).
Fixed pre-requisite, or we install it from Synaptic or apt-get (Intrepid has the latest list of packages) or the download directly from there TuxGuitar .
In the case of direct download (I recommend the version with the installer who was accustomed to Windoze x) first of all you right-click the downloaded file
(tuxguitar_qualcosa.run) -> properties -> permissions - -> "allow execution file as program "
then by clicking twice on the part of the installer file.
Going on the installation folder there will be an icon to start the program, you can also put in the ubuntu menu or desktop to resent comfortable simply by dragging it.
Problem: The program is pretty and it works, but audio will not speak -> MIDI player is missing:
sudo apt-get install timidity or install the timidity package from Synaptic .
TuxGuitar Now we tell where to output audio through the menus are
Tools-> Settings-> Sound: Port midi: TiMidity Port0 [XXXX]
(where XXXX is there but I do not know what it is, is a number usually)
I worked perfectly on 2 pc ... so I hope you too ...
Try different midi ports if that does not work.
Another thing I like to do the musicians unleashed of songs "virtuoso" is to try to play them, but they are often so difficult that no one can find texts on the Internet and we are reduced to having to slow down to be able to get them out by ear.
we do not want to have the effect of slowing vinyl record which lowers the pitch of everything.
Unfortunately I have to say that there are programs to do graphics (for now) on linux, but I found an excellent tool to command line that works with a slaughter of audio formats. It's called
Yatm - Yet another Time Machine and what amazed me is the ease of use. Meanwhile
installiamocelo:
sudo apt-get install yatm let the folder of files to slow down from the command line (eg x):
music cd / Elio \\ e \\ le \\ stories \\ tense / ( Remember to use TAB to autocomplete paths that simplifies your life !!!!)
we now find the point that we want to slow down with any media player such as Totem, the media player by default on gnome (and ubuntu)
totem Plafone.mp3 The solo (beautiful) I want to find 57 seconds to start
great! halve the rate of yatm the-t (a number with a comma where 1.0 is the normal speed of the song, is still 0.0, 0.5 is half) and b-tell him where to start
yatm-b 0 :-t 0.5 00:57.0 The program prints many warnings, but who cares so much work!
with arrows left and right you can also speed up or slow down the track.
For the various options (another RTFM) see:
man yatm Unfortunately no GUI for now (we could do it ... maybe soon I can do a little bit ...).
I hope to interest anyone, because I could not find guides on the internet about this song and sing Happy
with linux! : D
