Studio Update: A few weeks ago I was soliciting opinions about whether or not to get a Mac Mini to replace my ailing, nearly decade-old PC.
Opinions differed, leaning toward "yes but get more RAM than base model" and I had just about decided not to do it when I stumbled on a good video from a music tech vlogger I really like (video here: https://youtu.be/obkCMxaIIFM) who did exactly what I was thinking and had great results.
I didn't get to test it quite as thoroughly as I'd hoped but preliminary testing was incredibly positive. It runs #Ableton Live Suite 11 without a hitch, as well as #Pigments and the #Korg#Wavestation plugin, which is pretty much my entire computer setup.
(Note: I went #DAWlessright around the time Live 11 was released, and while my old computer's inability to run Live 11 well wasn't the reason why, it didn't exactly push me to stick with the DAW-based world.)
The goal at this stage of my life is to just not look embarrassing when I leave the house. Any hopes of looking cute or cool or fashionable have long since been abandoned. :AAAAAA:
I just want to live in a tasteful little castle along the Irish coast with all my cats (and my spouse ofc) and somehow never tour or do any shows yet still be a wildly successful musician. You know, like Enya. :catjam: 🏰 :scremcat:
Today is a special day for me and I think for all #linuxaudio#musician (s).
Sinevibes, a true innovator in the field of unique yet easy to use #audio#effect (s) #plugin (s), joins the #linux#musicproduction family by releasing Integer, their new digital-analog buffer device, as their first native Linux plug-in. 🥳🥰
Get it here: https://www.sinevibes.com/integer/
PD: They created their first plug-in almost 20 years ago and were all in on Linux at the time. So in a way this is like "The Return to Linux"! 🤓
Behringer Vintage, free analog modeling Synthesizer and Uli’s first synth plugin
Behringer Vintage is available now as a free download. It runs as a VST3 and AU plugin on macOS (native Apple Silicon + Intel) and Windows. You need to press on the website “get a free license” and register with the Musictribe community.
As some of you know, I regularly write to #plugin#vendor (s) that I would like to be able to use their #synth (s) and #effect (s) #native (ly) on #linux. And wow, the feedback has changed for the better lately! 🥳
I'm currently testing a bunch of plugins that I never dreamed would make it to #linuxaudio. 🫣😜
Unfortunately, I have to keep quiet for now and it will probably take some time for them to be released, but I am more than excited. 😝 #musicproduction#daw
We all know how important it is to produce precise music. It's more important than anything else. Ideas, harmonies, and arrangement are overrated. If the kick drum doesn't bang precisely and the sidechain doesn't grab accurately, then all the effort is for nothing.
This new German plugin is very precise and therefore good.
