How to Install the Latest Version of Musescore on Ubuntu

Musescore is a brilliant Free and Open Source piece of notation software which is kept up to date pretty well by most operating systems/distributions. However, recent versions of Ubuntu have been shipping with outdated versions of Musescore 2 rather than using the more up to date Musescore 3. Lets fix that…

I did this on Ubuntu Studio 19.04, but I am pretty sure this should work just fine on 18.04LTS, 18.10 and any version to come after 19.04.

My Music Production Workstation

In a follow up to my video about audio/music production on a PC vs a Mac, here is a quick tour of my own music production workstation. This video just focuses on the core computer itself, I don’t look at screens, monitors, audio interfaces or microphones, just the computer itself.

But will it actually help one of the things is claims to serve; the music industry? Or will it just damage that too?

Let’s dive in and find out.
