Problems with Bitwig performance

Recently upgraded my computer, old was i7-4770 and new is AMD Ryzen 7 3700X. Bit more cores and bit better single core performance, but main point was moving from SFF to full size so I can have real gpu and more hdd. Old was running debian 11 based devuan, new debian 12 based. For some reason, in ne...

Re: help needed, is my music repetative ?

Thank you, and your first lines are basically why I am having a big issue with understand the lmms dev, stating my track is repetitive. To me most music is repetitive. It is probably best for me, to ignore that. Yeah, there is plenty of repetitive music that still works. Like this https://www.youtu...

Re: Musician and Blender user selecting distribution

And now find out where tha crash happens. When rendering something where material is emitting light, gpu rendering will crash. For example lighthouse or torches in dungeon... There is also other things that cause crash. Have to admit, Vega 64 + Linux is just not working combination for Blender use....

Re: Carla and my Windows 10 VSTs ???

What are the realistic expectations of using Carla (or something like it) with my Windows VSTs? What I mean is does Carla use my VSTs and instrument libraries off my Windows 10 system? Or would I have to first use wine and install Kontakt on Linux, and somehow install Native or Spitfire's app on wi...

Re: Musician and Blender user selecting distribution

Good news! With those closed drivers and Blender 3.6 LTS GPU rendering actually seems to work. Not going to moon with it, but getting like 5x speed with my test project. And now find out where tha crash happens. When rendering something where material is emitting light, gpu rendering will crash. Fo...

Re: Musician and Blender user selecting distribution

With Ubuntu and AMD closed drivers, I can turn on GPU rendering, and it starts rendering! And then Blender crashes, with error message ‘Memory access fault, Reason: Page not present or supervisor privilege’. This looks like I need to get Nvidia GPU if I want to have such for blender use. Good news!...

Re: Musician and Blender user selecting distribution

I can't speak specifically to your exact hardware and driver situation but MX Linux even though based on Debian Stable is very proactive with new Video Drivers and Firmwares and often backports from Sid.. Surely what you want will enter Sid soon? Arch had what was wanted, and it did have bug. And i...

Re: Musician and Blender user selecting distribution

From a friend got plenty of information about Arch, and it looked very potential. Installed it to test system, and installation to old school linux user was fine, using command-line tools to setup system. Installing that way sure teaches you much how system is built. With Q9550 (or something like th...

Re: Musician and Blender user selecting distribution

Centos 7 will be supported 'til mid 2024, and was the default distro for Davinci Resolve 3D software. So maybe some Blender interest also migrated to that RedHat ecosystem, in the way of human 3D forum support, and utilities for 3D that might also benefit Blender users? 'Rocky Linux', a replacement...

Musician and Blender user selecting distribution

Because I have too much hobbies and not enough time for them, I have decided to pick one more. Started learning Blender My computer was HP SFF box, not suitable for having real GPU, unless picking this way and even that would not work with bigger cards (picture is not mine, screenshot from some mark...

Re: Framework for audio plugins in C code

I'm on an old Long Term Support (LTS) distro and I don't think it has Clap support yet. I don't know how often the average Linuxer updates his distro so there may or may not be more people like me... I tend to update distro when there is no support for it anymore. So when I was using Ubuntu, it was...

Re: Looking for an audio to MIDI interface...

I have the Tripleplay Connect, which is the cheaper, non-wireless USB version. It worked... mostly, more or less. As many people warn, your playing needs to be very clean in order for the converter to work, so that may take some adjustment. It does work as a straight guitar-to-MIDI controller, but ...
