I think this conversation has quickly become useless. We don't even have a good definition of "serious music enthusiast", so the original question is completely subjective, and it has degenerated into slinging personal attacks. @raboof, is there a way to lock a topic? I agree on the usele...

Good point. However, I do not know how to achieve anything in a DAW without JackAudio. I connect midi keyboards to VST's etc., etc. in QJackCtl. Maybe audio and midi connections can be done with Alsa on the command line but I wouldn't know how... Maybe that's because the first thing that Linuxers a...

Another issue turning up that I've been breaking my head upon, but haven't solved yet. Since I went all in to ALSA and no longer JACK, my recording on Reaper is plagued by xruns. Mainly with the Native Instruments Kontakt plugin, the DSP load flipping up and down. See screenshot, with the red 100% ...

[..] These 'do serious people use Linux' questions are such troll bait. [...] Good point. Maybe my question should have been "Do experienced musicians come to this forum?" or "Why do I see so many general music questions that do not belong in these forums?" [...] And I had to do...

Thanks for that short informative video!

With the "audioadapter" (only available in jack2) I have over years as there - see link above - trouble-free/reliable 2 RME 9632 cards and later a 9632 and an AIO, with all extensions and all I/O (audio/MIDI/digital/) wired and over the hdspmixer (you have to switch in the hdspmixer unfor...

I felt the same way several years ago. Have then after years times everything written down (audioadapter) https://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?p=95025#p95025 - all this should not be forgotten - because I wanted to spare other people this pain which I have gone through in the search. Surprising...

[...] [on topic] Anyway, that still doesn't explain why newcomers here here ask general audio questions instead of Linux audio questions... :?: Is there an assumption that people coming here already have a windows background in music production on a computer? They should only need to ask about Linu...

Harrison Mixbus and Mixbus 32C - commercial software based on Ardour, cross platform and I think is developed on Linux. Is used by a number of pro studios from what I see on the Mixbus forums. Best DAW for audio production IMO, although it's MIDI capabilities, while adequate. are not quite up with ...

[...] Then we only need to find some stores that will sell a pc with Linux pre-installed. :mrgreen: [off topic] A Chromebook is almost there. Activate Crostini and install a Desktop Environment.

Now there is dilemma, who would do that? Nobody is getting money from desktop linux, so nobody has money to invest. But ok, I just made Eurojackpot-lottery, if I get jackpot I'll put few million euros to make things better. [off topic] Hmmmm. What about Linux system administrators? What about, for ...

As a result of some recent questions and discussions here I was wondering if Linux is even used by serious amateurs or enthusiasts for music production? I see people asking general music questions to which the solution is something like: "Don't connect an input to an input, always connect IN to...

This is another small bugfix release with changes that have been gathering dust on the master branch for a while. I just did not have the time to release an update, until now. The changes in this update are mostly fixes targeted at specific misbehaving plugins. The full changelog with all fixes and...

Thanks for the instructions. I made some presets myself on the synth, so I don't dare to update the firmware yet. However, can you tell me how the new feature "display original value" works? Back in the day I reverse engineered interpreting the SysEx message to determine what settings are ...
