You'd have been pretty hard-pressed to do something like this even five years ago, but a few companies have stepped up to the plate to give us some very nice-sounding free products.
In this instance I take my hat off to the following: #Soniccouture, #FractureSounds, #StrezovSampling and #NativeInstruments.
All of these products run in the free Kontakt player, so your only price of admission is that of your computer, chosen #DAW and if required, keyboard to play the plug-ins with.
Do you think using Linux for Music Production is difficult?
Linux Music production used to be really hard. In the early days, there was no plugin support for DAWS. Every individual application was standalone & was strung together by routing the audio to & from applications.
Those days are gone. Linux is just like Windows and Macs, & nearly as easy. Linux DAWs support LV2, VST3, and CLAP plugins.

My #LoFi#music generator program is pretty smooth now. Of course I have to run it a few times to get something sort-of interesting... And I need to do very little sour-note-surgery now. So this tune was entirely generated with #perl, imported into my #DAW, given better sounding patches and a better (AI) drum track, chopped-up, and looped a few times. Sounds ok I think!
#Cacophony update 0.1.3 adds flac exporting. I wanted to include this in the initial release but I didn't understand how to do it. Turns out, it's not hard!
I like the new MIDI clip generators feature of Live 12 from what I've seen. I wish Bitwig could something similar in terms of baking the results of MIDI effects into a clip.
I know you can route one MIDI track into another and record that way, but it's a bit inconvenient compared to Live's new feature.
LoFi algorithmic #music created entirely by #perl (with my fresh bass-line generator), imported into my #DAW, and then given better drums, etc. Sounds ok I think! Trippy. 6:52
So two new DAW’s on the horizon. Luna from UA and RIP X DAW Pro.
I’ll be taking the RIP X one fore a spin, not sure I have the time to check out LUNA. Anyone else checking these? I wonder what each has to offer in an already crowded market…
I wonder what #ardour is doing different to #bitwig in terms of their #flatpak builds. I noticed that some #plugins run just fine in Ardour while Bitwig Studio reports problems with reading metadata or glibc version conflicts. 🙄️ #sandboxing#debugging#daw#linuxdaw
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
Eine Baustelle weg vom iPad ist für mich übrigens Musik: Ich nutze es auch als Musikinstrument gemeinsam mit meinem Midi-Keyboard. Ersetzen soll das #ubuntustudio . Für Interessierte in diesem Bereich hier eine super Zusammenstellung von @digitalcourage
@macberg I don't know, but I guess I like to #own things, especially when they're as essential to me as a #daw. I think there is something subconsciously reassuring about "owning" something. Whereas with a #subscription, you could lose the service or product at any time. Of course, I would ultimately prefer Bitwig to be #opensource. Then I could be super calm and express my gratitude with #contributions and #donations. 😇️ But that is probably #utopian (for now).
Best way to preserve/convert old ProTools (*.ptf) sessions?
So I have a couple of 10+ year old studio recordings from old music projects that were saved as a ProTools session....
