1/2 Not sure if this is utopian. But I'd love to see some kind of #linuxaudio#daw and #plugin#knowledgebase, #taskforce or #forum for #developers emerge. Because while I think it's absolutely fantastic that more and more vendors are making their products available for #linux, some of them are #bugplagued to say the least. 🫣️ In addition, many of these vendors offer limited or no Linux support. Maybe more experienced developers like #uhe, #tal or #bitwig could lead such an effort?
In my video, I walk the you through the process of creating a generative patch in Bitwig Studio, starting simple and gradually adding complexity. Patch download in the description.
It's about exchanging musical projects between different Digital Audio Workstations (sequencers). Wasn't really a fitting solution in place as the other solutions were either geared towards video work or pure MIDI. Supported by Bitwig Studio 5.0.9 and Studio One 6.5 as of today.
@consint#ardour! Cool! 🙌 I want to give it a try too. Just love #bitwig so much. Would like to replace it with something #foss though. Was thinking of #zrythm too because it seems closer to Bitwig. Who knows maybe Bitwig will go #opensource one day (soon)! 🫣😜😇
In just under an hour I've gone from an empty, freshly formatted drive, to an installed #Gnome on #ArchLinux & a fully functional #Bitwig installation, with all the modern conveniences of #pipewire etc. Ten, even five years ago, I'd be tinkering for days to get everything working the way I want - and even then I'd not have things working satisfactorily & most likely finally limp back to #Cubase. I've been hoping for this moment since I first struggled to get #Ardour to compile back somewhere around 2006 or so. I'd say the time for #Linux#music#AudioProduction has finally arrived.
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.
@amadeus@itsfoss since I became a #bitwig user in the early pre-release days, I have tried twice to switch from mac OS to Ubuntu. But I eventually relapsed both times since it felt I was spending more time troubleshooting than making music. But after being forced to ditch 1000€ worth of perfectly working hardware (MOTU 828 mk2, UAD appolo quad...) because of "dropped Firewire support" makes me absolutely mad. I'd love to get some tips from someone who went through this process successfully.
I'm excited to share a track I've been working on using Bitwig Studio. It was a fun and creative process as I experimented with generative practices and utilized grids for notes and sound generation.

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.
#linux#audio#bitwig (English below)
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.
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
