That look great.

My current setup in comparison :
-Had to grab the USB-B cable from the printer
-Laptop on battery balancing on the corner of the digital piano
-Launching a custom script piano.sh (I remember that the initial install process on ubuntu was painful)
(The script (3 lines) :
qsynth&
aconnect 24 129
rosegarden&
)
-Then hit record on rosegarden
-It works I can get the music out of my head
-Then I fight with the UI to select the time position to be able to playback
-Then I select another track to record another layer on top while the playback is running, I misconfigured the recording and it recorded over my previous track.
-Then I have lost my music.
-Then I test what happens when I change the instruments on the piano : rosegarden doesn't record the instrument change and the soundfounts are different than what my piano have so it doesn't sound exactly the same
-Then I close rosegarden, remember why I hate it, plug a jack in the line-in start audacity, hit record, play music to calm me down.
-Save wav file in a lossless compression format. Store it in a file somewhere where it most likely won't ever be played again, telling myself in a few years I'll just run a script that will transcribe it and organise it directly.

My setup is awful from a cold start, but gets better with practice when I remember how to use the UI.
The ability to playback an existing track while I record a new track is what I used it for. And the metronome.
The main problem with midi is that the sound fonts are not exactly the same.
I probably won't buy it though, I don't want yet another app. I am not sure if it will work in 10 years. The sound is not exactly what I played. It something that should have been an option in the piano and not a $99 option.
