As #flatpak has become more popular, I have tried to help make #plugin (s) Flatpak ready.
Interestingly, I keep coming across a general rejection, like "it's not worth the effort", "it's not the future", etc.
I am aware that it has drawbacks. But are you also against it?
Apart from the amount of space it can take up, I have to say that I've never really had any complaints, and I've sort of already accepted it as a kind of convenient, non-system #linux#packagemanager, I guess. #linuxaudio
How many #plugins do you have installed on your system? 🫣️ I always remove the ones I do not use and currently sport the following numbers: #clap: 36 / #lv2: 22 / #vst2: 92 / #vst3: 104
If I subtract different variants of the same plug-in, I get 92 individual plug-ins. Feels like a lot to me! 😝️ #musicproduction#daw#inthebox#linux#macos#windows#linuxaudio
On a scale of 1 to 4, how satisfied are you with the #software available for #linux in your particular area of interest? For me it would be somewhere between 2 and 3. #linuxaudio#apps#plugins
Maybe one of you #linuxaudio nerds knows. I'm trying to use the #plugin Instinct by Inertia Audio Systems with Bitwig Studio Flatpak, but Bitwig reports libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so.37: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, which makes sense, since the package is present in another version webkit2gtk-4.1 2.42.5-1 on my #manjaro system. I think this dependency is not ideal. But what could I recommend to the developers so that they could deliver the plugin in a "smarter" fashion?
44100 Hz or 48000 Hz for #musicproduction?
Personally I usually go with 48000 Hz because it somehow feels more "natural" to me than 44100 Hz (as half of 96000 Hz or a quarter of 192000 Hz). Made my life easier a few times when I wanted to #compose#music for #movies too. #daw#linuxaudio
Does anyone else use the Dual Display (Arranger/Mixer) setting in #bitwig on a single monitor from time to time? I find it nice to have the mixer and device chain always visible (and context sensitive) while working on an arrangement, and to have the latter always visible as well. On a big enough screen at least, this can be a very comfortable approach for me. #mixing#daw#musicmaking#linuxaudio
I have really started developing an interest in immutable Linux distros. In particular, as a Fedora Workstation fan, I’m interested in Fedora Silverblue. Having having a reliable, ABI/API stable os that is also leading edge sounds really good!
I just need to figure the best way to install DAW host and plugins to get the best performance and reliability. I’m suspecting Fedora Toolbox is probably the way to go, but I’m not 100% sure yet.
Need help with Ubuntu:
I have a Pause/Play button on my laptop keyboard that I want to work, and stop/play music or video playing in the background (it worked fine when Windows was the main OS).
Rn, when pressed, I just have this thing pops up (picture).
Any ideas how to enable those buttons?
Tried: settings>keyboard>shortcuts>sound and media
&
playerctl play-pause
Does anyone else maintain #changelog (s) for their #computer (s)?
I enter all configuration adjustments and #update (s) in a #markdown file for each machine.
This might seem like unnecessary extra work, but has paid off several times for the sake of traceability or #reproducibility in the past. 🤓 #musicproduction#linuxaudio
Default sorting on the site is always latest additions/updates of plugins to the #linuxaudio world, so you can pretty much use it as "news site". We also have a RSS feed for the old-schoolers..
Any good stuff missing? Just let us know, contributions are most welcome :)
The Linux #DAW website is exactly the kind of #LinuxAudio#MusicProduction resource I've been looking for - developed, as I understand, by @amadeus. The reputation of #Linux as a viable #music production OS is rapidly changing, thanks in part to excellent sites like this. Not to mention, of course, all the great software listed therein. https://linuxdaw.org/
I would like to create a small #website as a starting point for #plugin developers who want to support #linux as a platform for #musicproduction. I plan to interview existing #linuxaudio#developers like u-he, TAL, AudioThing, Bitwig and others about this. Who of you would like to accompany and/or support me with this? 😊
