Do Linux users tend to be somewhat paranoid?

[glokraw]

I currently know that Ableton works through WINE and WINEASIO.

Hi, can can you post version details and around six screenshots made during various parts of an Ableton recording session in linux? I have several 'Lite' versions among the spindles.
Cheers

I've never tried it myself, but here's some information that I've found:

Gotta see the pics...your pics, your setup...

That assumes they are the more efficient or feature-rich versions in a diverse market.
I'm mainly using Reaper. If you don't experiment, you don't learn. From my perspective, performance is not the highest priority. The windows Reaper and some plugins look better than linux counterparts, some perform better, or support more features, so things are used on a case-by-case basis. I would never recommend anyone to know and use only one daw. Not to mention, some of them have unique capabilities and quality extras. I have a few Mixbus licenses, and also Bitwig 8-track is nice for a guitar multi-fx chain, should the Muse whisper.

All creations I've made so far were created in Bitwig and mixed/mastered in Mixbus32C. It's basically two different approaches. I was made aware of this when I mentioned on a Wednesday evening some time ago at a "Mixing with Mike" session : there are two kinds of DAWs and thus two different users. One is preferring a hardware metaphor, the mixer console, as a basis for a DAW while others are preferring DAWs that explores other paradigms. A mixer user will basically see no use in a DAW offering a modular synth. It wouldn't be a looked-after feature. This is what's neat in using Bitwig for creation and Mixbus32C for mixing : I could change hats and become a mixer that was given a set of tracks to mix well.

I consider it contributed to create proper conditions for the Muse to manifest

Cheers.

Yeah, I know, but that's not putting Linux at the forefront of the section.

Well, start Kontakt.

I did. Years ago.

I don't want to attempt all the various windows installers via wine.

Hi, wine-staging is a toad that sit's on a rock in the sun. It just provides windows, menus, and some internet connectivity, and little else. Installers run just like in windows, the ones without fancy managers or ilok almost always work. Last night, I installed the windows Zebra2 Legacy, and an Arturia freebie (the Arturia manager app also applied four updates I'd forgotten ) You can pick a couple plugins you always use, and keep the herd out to pasture while testing

You could test i3 in a live session of AVLinux, it has version 4.19 1-1 in the synaptic repository. Found at www.bandshed.net

What section? It's at the top of the section it's in, and other topics appear from time to time in various places, at moderator disgression. Whether a topic is at any forefront depends on the clickbait offered, and the proximity to friday night
The commercial topic gets about 70 clicks on a good weekend.

I think the powerful expensive daws are diverse enough to each be semantically considered different 'kinds'. I consider my son-in-law a Cubase master, and he is on a Mac since the M1 or whatever it's called became needed for work. Very different than Reaper,
which is foreign to Bitwig, which is unlike Pro Tools, that is not as fugly as Ableton, which doesn't sound like a Harrison console...but music emerges from all, the fundamental result that makes life better. Sometimes.

Apologies for the clickbait title, but I've concluded that most people here expressing concerns or engaging in debates about licensing, copy protection systems for plugins, or speculating on the fate of a company going out of service, etc., as well as those worrying about the compatibility of a 50-years old sample library with a contemporary Kontakt version, tend to be predominantly Linux users. Could this be accurate, or am I mistaken? It's just an observation on my part.

I don't see why Linux users would be discussing that, these are problems for Windows and Mac software users.

The new batch of up and coming Linux users are not paranoid, they're rebellious as they give the other two the finger and push their way out of their corner they try to keep every in.

Doesn't this snooty, aggressive tone prove that linuxians are indeed paranoid?

No, but it reveals yours.

The section of the forum is clearly

Ain't seeing any 'Linux' in there.

It's only a thread within. In 2024 that's pretty much a status of refugee

To be fair, do you see a separated Windows group or a separated Apple group? I don't think we need anything more than what we have now. To demand special treatment WOULD make us stand out.

I like Linux , but I found that I like Windows better for DAW duties . Those who get windows vsts working I envy you it was too much work and too much time tinkering for me . I always x my fingers that it gets better for musicians . Seems Valve Steam have done amazing things for Linux gaming . I wish someone would do the same for Musicians and Linux .

Its one of the biggest and oldest topics here. There isn't a Mac section, Intel section, AMD section, ARM section or Microsoft section. None of them need sections. But should they be added, I'd look into them, just to keep relatively current. Although my depth is roughly, i5, i7, i9, and number of cores...much deeper, and I start losing musicality. Sound On Sound (see pic) have computer forums, The Gear Page don't, so a mixed bag out there. I did ask for a new more general title, as the OP is absent, but got no response.

I do think your examples would be good for linux users to follow, whether new or experienced. If I were 20 years younger, and 120 credits more learned, I'd get the full version of Bitwig

What would be, performance-wise, the idea with running a Windows DAW in Linux, when there's Linux-native Bitwig and Mixbus32C available ?

Just off the top of my head, I'd suggest it's because he's a Live user and doesn't want to spend Dog knows how many hours/days/weeks/months porting all his songs across to a new DAW. I've done it twice and it is not something you decide to do on a whim. I switched to Studio One 3 or 4 years ago and I still don't have half as much of our stuff running in it as I do in Orion. It's just too hard to bring it all across.
