Loop-based Music Composition With Linux, Pt. 2 (Linux Journal)

In this Linux Journal article, Dave Phillips completes his look at using Linux for loop-based composition. He looks at Ardour, Reaper, and Audacity to create and edit music from sampled sources. "Drummers are pattern-playing creatures, but to keep things interesting they vary those patterns from time to time. We can liven up our example by replacing every fourth loop with a variation of the groove or a fill taken from the same source loop collection. Simply load the new set of audio files as new tracks, edit as desired, then mix and match until you find the right combination of patterns (i.e. what pleases your ears)."
