Be welcome. The recommended route to keep up with qtractor development is having no trouble in building it from source and ultimately from the CVS repository, for the latest and greatest ;) However, you need to have installed all of mandatory requirements listed. Using your favorite package manager, and assuming you're still with some Debian/xUbuntu flavour, make sure you install all of these and their respective dependencies:

libqt4-dev
llibjack-dev
(or libjack0-dev)
libasound-dev
(or libasound2-dev)
libsndfile-dev
(or libsndfile1-dev)
ladspa-sdk

and, optionally, any or all of the following:

libvorbis-dev
libmad0-dev
libsamplerate0-dev
librubberband-dev
(*)
dssi-dev
liblo0-dev

(*) librubberband may not be found on regular debian/ubuntu repositories still, so you can grab the deb's from here (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS 32bit only):

librubberband1_1.3.0-1.rncbc.ubuntu804_i386.deb
librubberband-dev_1.3.0-1.rncbc.ubuntu804_i386.deb

Have a go, (re)try and tell.

Re. sites with qtractor made songs: well, qtractor is not a finished product, yet (will it ever be?:) although it is already fully functional and reportedly stable enough to start doing some kicks. That is to say that I'm eager to ear your productions as well.

Ah, one thing you should have in mind is that qtractor is designed to be a part of a Linux audio/sound ecosystem; that is, it doesn't live on its own as a stand-alone sound and music production application; for instance, you'll need synths, and samplers (soft or outboard) to render MIDI stuff; it is not like the all-in-one-monolithic-wonder applications that you usually find in Windows (eg. FLStudio). So you can hardly tell in all truth your finished job will be made in qtractor per se. Most of all, it is made by YOU :)

Cheers

ih!!
i install everything you said, and now its working fine...
i was the version 0.3 and give me an error (alsa error) but i installed the new 0.4 and i listen the sound..
now i'm gonna explore a little more...

i "know" or i guess "know" how qtraktor works... i'll try to use some free vst plug ins to see what can i do...

hope say something new in the next few hours ! :)

Hi the links to rubberband library are broken....

Hey thanks! Indeed the links are broken, just because the files have moved to old sub-directory. Newer ones may be found here.

Sorry for the inconvenience, the links are now fixed.

Cheers.
