Have you considered an iPad?
- syntheweave 4y agoSeconding this. Some of the smoothest, least obtrusive apps are on iOS. If you're dead set on Linux I suggest looking at OpenMPT. It's a classic tracker app, very mature, and officially supported on Linux through Wine. I was using trackers to make beats at 10 years old, and these days it's much easier to find samples. It's at the right level of complexity for a kid that wants to write sequences and maybe add in some recording, but isn't ready to spend hours and hours on audio engineering.
- noisy_boy 4y agoUnfortunately we already have an Android tablet (Samsung) and I would prefer to avoid the integration challenges with an Apple device in an non-Apple environment. Would be open to any (paid or unpaid) apps on Android though.
- speedgoose 4y agoI understand, but an iPad is a much better platform for digital music. I think you could dedicate the iPad to music, and keep the Samsung tablet for everything else.
- noisy_boy 4y agoYes - others have also suggested Garageband. Maybe it would be better to straight up get a full-on Macbook at that point.
- speedgoose 4y agoI find the iPad GarageBand version more enjoyable as non professional musician. The touchscreen and the simplicity helps a lot.
