The linux DAW thread

To riff off a post from VI-Control:

LinuxMusicians is leaking.

If you're in a warm locale, like socal, some used moonboots from the Goodwill shop might obscure the expensive bracelet. One doesn't want to appear like a rival, when strolling through gang territory

Couldn't he just wrap a bandana of a neutral color around his cuff?

Too much neutrality can get you some free real-estate between LA and Vegas. A small parcel, but you won't be making payments

There are products out there to help that. Depends on how old they are, to some extent.

Most of the more successful parolees pay the extra fee for an implant, so they can keep their status on the down-low.

For anyone looking for a database of plug-ins for their Linux-based DAW, check out this site: https://linuxdaw.org/

Thank you. I don't know how much overlap there would be, but here is another similar site:

a frigging awesome idea. all the info has been quite fragmented to too many threads.

I'm going to go ubuntu very shortly. This for the reason that there are just about no VST plugins for linux and I found out my code is working great cross platform. That means the ol' bugger down my sig is going to be released for free (full and lite) for linux. but there's a catch: no gui.

if there's a good reason I shouldn't do ubuntu/kubuntu I'd like to hear it. that dynebolic thing looks a bit iffy, but maybe it's better? so yeah, carry on, I'm listening.

not to be contrary, but I don't understand how one thread that has so many posts, can be better than a bunch of different posts with more diverse subject headings and tags. Just my 2c because this is my 5th post now Thanks!

Cool new news! Plogue just announced that they are releasing Linux Native versions of all of their plugins--including plugins like Sforzando, and Chipsynth OPS7 (a bit perfect and better Yamaha DX7 synth).

Nice too hear this, ops7 sounds great. Also interested in bidule

[farlukar]

Also interested in bidule

It would appear Bidule is not in the works

We are now ready to announce that sforzando and all chip plugins will be supported natively under Linux in the future

Sample playback is an important gap to fill in linux. Many of the top windows products are troublesome in wine for newcomers, so getting another solid sfz tool always helps. Combined with Decentsampler, linuxsampler, sfizz, the modeling tools, and whatever else is being used, things keep getting better. Someone should try Bidule in a recent wine that has the video libs and dot-nets installed, it might work

Hi, this topic has been a handy catch-all for years, as there was not all that much to catch. But various linux-related topics do appear on their own from time to time, but usually don't elicit the number of comments to keep them on the front page or too for long, as this is largely a win/mac group. I started a topic on commercial windows software in linux a while back, it may be on page 3, 4, or 5, but I can update it tonight, as I just installed a Reaktor synth ensemble yesterday.
Cheers

I had a spare drive last week, and tried a unbuntu install, in advance of kernel 6.12...it was a slow-moving trainwreck that got worse the more I attempted to fix things. Screen issues, keyboard issues, graphic lockups etc drove me krazzzeeee

So I gave up and made another AVLinux system, smooth as silk, and will await the rumoured-to-be-great kernel release for that debian 12 or whatever...

AVLinux comes ready to produce, just fill in your settings, it has wine-staging, yabridge plugin wrapper, some nice default software gear installed, and also useful product demos ez to remove if unwanted. It uses Enlightenment desktop manager, but I switch to xfce in some of my several AVLinux installs, which I keep for using older software that I like better than newer versions.

I also remove pipewire and use jackd/qjackctl, as I need connectivity that is as simple as I am

Ubuntu is a mess of bad ideas, starting from Snapification.

If you want a distribution along those lines try Mint. Packages for Ubuntu generally run on it out of the box.

since i have one do-it-all machine - what gives ?

Indirectly, I highly recommend you have a couple other linux distros for good luck. These can be usb drives, or ssd in a usb case etc. Keep your main machine stable and 'old', and test the new things separately. Kind of like having a mega hardware synth like Motif or Triton etc, where there are very few concerns when you turn it on. This also maintains compatibility, as new releases of old software sometimes fail to read things made in the past.
