Hey #musicians :metal: i am looking for a #linuxaudio alternative for #bitwig / #ableton mode to record loopstyle samples with a midi padcontroller.I have a Raspberry PI 4 with Pop!OS with #flatpak#pipewire or #jack soundserver. can i do it with #ardour 7 with clips? #update I choose for now Luppp, freewheeling, Giutarix Livelooper and sooperlooper. I can easyly assign Midi and dont need so much effort for setup. I use it without screen live
pls #boost #foss#samples#audio#musicproduction
W ramach eksperymentu przed postawieniem nowej maszyny pyknąłem Ubuntu studio na kawałku wolnego dysku na tym laptopie, który kiedyś odmawiał współpracy z jakimkolwiek Linuxem (CC @daria ) i wygląda, że śmiga pięknie i bezobsługowo (w sensie większość rzeczy działa out of the box). Nie działają póki co windowsowe VST (mój ulubiony wzmacniacz gitarowy) i BT MIDI. Jak zaczną działać to i na tym komputerze reszta windowsowego dysku leci do zaorania xd
Powrót do linuksa w cyklu kilkuletnim zawsze owocuje miłymi zaskoczeniami.

Myśląc pod kątem osobnej maszyny wyłącznie do robienia muzyki poważnie rozważam postawienie Bitwiga na linuxie, chciałbym jednak poznać opinie osób, które zajmują się pro (albo 50% pro;)) audio, czy obecnie linuksy już uciągają z niską latencją sensowną pracę z sygnałem audio (kluczowe nagrywanie żywych instrumentów live bez glitchy) i obsługą wielu urządzeń midi/usb jednocześnie. Ponadto - czy działa BT MIDI (mam jedną klawiaturę bezprzewodową), ogólnie czy da się na tym nagrywać z zewnętrzną kartą po USB itd., czy są problemy z VST3 (w Bitwigu), czy Jack i/lub Pipewire są sensownie konfigurowalne bez godzin grzebania... Czy dystrybucje "pod audio" (np. Ubuntu Studio) mają sens, czy nie? Mam spore doświadczenie z Bitwigiem/audio na win, więc nie potrzebuję informacji od zera, raczej konkret od użytkowników, porównanie z Mac/Win itd. :) Podbicie mile widziane.
EN: What are your opinions on Linux as a base for audio production machine (Bitwig, homerecording, demos), but - I mean audio, not only virtual instruments. Crucial areas: very low latency, reasonable handling of audio signal (in and out simultanously, for live instruments recording and processing w/o glitches), handling multiple MIDI devices (controllers, keyboards), VST/VST3 management, BT-MIDI, also: are Jack and/or Pipewire "usable" and PnP to some extent and so on? Does it make sense to go for the "audio distribution" such as Ubuntu Studio or just for something extremely lightweight and simple to leave resources for Bitwig? I've got some experience with Bitwig on Windows, so I don't need instructions, rather looking for the honest opinions / comparisons with Win/Mac audio production. Boost appreciated.
Are there any #linux people who do #musicproducion on #OpenSUSE? With a low latency kernel and all that jazz? Preferably with #bitwig and VSTs and all that crap. That's where I'm headed in the future so I want to know how much faff there is. Back in the day I used Ubuntu Studio which was great.
As you may or may not know @dreamer makes these really cool plugins at https://wasted.audio/software, and the plugins are featured heavily in this track. I particularly like the multi-band plugins. Do check them out and support an independent (and ethical, non-drm) plugin developer if you can.
Not an affiliate link, just a good deal on solid software.
I’m historically more of a traditional workflow person so I use LUNA but I’m going to branch out with this and try some grid things, and the modulators in particular are nuts.
Dont compare yourself to others & Melodic Techno from Scratch. In my response to "trendcast," I express understanding of the frustration that comes with comparing one's work to others and the evolving nature of personal art.
The hardest part about working on the r-kontrol app is not programming, ux, testing, eleminate bugs, performance optimization, try to fit lots of stuff on to small screens... no no no... its to adjust the damn handbook ;)
This is a blatant rip off of an 8 year old Ned Rush video, but I built the design up from scratch in #bitwig using very Bitwiggy methods. Featuring: my terrible finger drumming skills and a Sensel Morph. Think of it as free jazz ;)
In the video, I use the free plugin PaulXStretch 23 times. In each instance, I've recorded one note and a unique sound from the Korg Triton. Each instance also has a different recording length, different panning and stretches the sample differently. It's always great to see and hear how you can create soundscapes with such simple workflows.
I was a bit bored today and thought I'd record a few sequences while playing on my synths. Nothing special, just messing around. The bass comes from the Poly-D, arps from the M32, drums from the DFAM, and a Drone + Pianoteq from Bitwig. I havent saved it, just a throwaway jam.
