Software: LMMS (Linux MultiMedia Studio), 100% free music composition software for Linux
LMMS has seen big improvements since the 0.3 series. I was surprised to load it up and see more instruments and tools, a prettier interface, and a much more stable music creation system.
Of note are the Vestige VST plugin, which allows Windows VSTs to be used (I tested the Superwave P8 and it worked very well); the C64 SID emulator, Gameboy emulator, and SF2 (SoundFont) import.
I have been using ALSA instead of Jack and can report very low CPU usage and good sound quality.
Apologies for the handheld video!

P.S., the story in the annotations is completely true. I guess I was about 9 years old when it happened.

This is a re-upload to fix some clarity, cropping and sync issues. This IS the last up…until something else comes up. lol
LMMS is pre-release so some basic features are still missing but…THIS IS LINUX…whaaaat!!!
There is something about getting something done in Linux that makes it more fulfilling than doing it in any of the popular OS’s. I don’t know if that comes from having overcome any obstacles or from knowing that your OS can be exactly what you want it to be if you are willing to learn how.
