I managed to get a synth bass line using pure data as the synthesizer, rosegarden as the sequencer, and ardour as the recorder. Ardour is actually way better at recording than audacity or rosegarden, I really do not know why I haven't used it very much. I remembered it being intimidating, but I just don't see that now--it's menus are monstrous, but just using the on screen buttons was pretty easy. Well ok, here's the recording:
Jammin over a Synth Bass by Malcolm81
As far as the music goes, it's an idea I've been having for a while, the bass line has a root note, then it drops a major third, then a major second, then another major second, and then it comes back up. Anyhow, here it is:
The chords that work over this are D7#5 (whole tone scale), D7alt (jazz minor scale), and E7#4. It's pretty fun to play over.
Also, I ordered a Behringer UCA 212 audio interface from amazon, it is supposedly class compliant so it will hopefully work right out of the box. It is also very affordable, I will let you know how it sounds.
Ok, till next time!
