Here is a screenshot of me making noise on my linux machine, it is still a bit chaotic looking but is managable:
seq24 is a midi only sequencer that emulates some old hardware that I have never seen before, hydrogen is a very nice drum machine, I must admit I have never used a drum program or plugin which I enjoy more. It has these nice "humanize" knobs which make stuff sound less "perfect" that I havent seen in other programs and I can layer new kick sounds and stuff without leaving the program. Zynaddsubfx is a synth which is fun so far but I have yet to unlock its real potential. Supposedly it it very versatile and makes alot of neat sounds but I haven't been able to make many different sounds with it yet. I think there is another window that pops up which has alot more knobs and stuff on it that I need to find. The bottom right is a program called qjackctl, it is alot like rewire and is reponsible for routing the midi and audio between programs.
At the moment it is kinda ghetto looking but I hope to set it up so that things happen a bit more automatically, I am looking into that at the moment. I can make all the programs launch at once but I still have to connect them all together myself before I can use them, still looking for ways to script that part. When it is all done I hope to have a separate runlevel where only music programs run and some sort of template that arranges the windows and adjusts each program to be ready to play.
There is one big plus to the set of programs I have chosen, they are all very tiny, even my window manager is a tiny program. Simple tiny programs leave plenty of the CPU for the real important task of processing the sounds and stuff. My system would probably be inadequate for music using the full-featured apps because it is close to 3 years old.
Idecided I needed to simplify my production routine so at the moment I limit myslf to this really simple sequencer and the drums and 1 synth. I also have a sampler and a soundfont synth that I use on occasion. Later on I hope to incorporate ardour and audio effects plugins into the setup but I want to do basic midi compositions first before I get too deep in manipulating audio.
So what about you guys? How bout some of you take pictures and explain your software arrangement, I think this might be a fun way to bounce ideas off of each other. |

there is mine, running Cubase SX 3, with alot of VST Plugins, and effects, and an Edirol PCR 50 keyboard, and some Alesis monitors, u can see that the project is kinda "spaced".. i like to have things organized and structurized.. |

My pic is insanely huge so I'll just post a link:

I think it's pretty self explanatory, really - I've got the Reason rack in 1 monitor and the sequencer in the other. |

frost: maybe it's different in your version of logic, but have you tried using the looping function. Maybe you have used it but from looking at the screenshot it seems you just copy and paste parts.
The looping function could save you time. Just thought you might want to know. |
