Music aps

[apogee]

Yeah, I am into making beats and stuff. Before I was blessed with Linux by a friend, I used Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 with Windows. I was just curious if there is anyone ou there that might know a way to get it working or if there is a similar program for linux. Thankx :confused:

I've heard of a few.

Try searching for i.e. notation at freshmeat.net or sourceforge.net as I'm sure you'll find some.

If you using KDE, the also try www.kde.org (http://www.kde.org) under applications.

Also search for sequencer at freshmeat.net

Anthem looks good and also Brahms.
