  • If you're into audiobooks, I strongly recommend libro.fm instead - it's all DRM free downloads, so you never lose access.

  • But but but SteamOS!

  • I was using Audacity for quick Normalization and other edits to my samples, but I've since learned I can do that inside OpenMPT (and save those edits back to file). Audacity does lack any form of "midi-esque" sequencing though, which is how I primarily work.

    Having said that, Audacity has come a long with VST support, etc, since Muse Group got involved. But unfortunately, they also allegedly enforced data tracking in a way that didn't respect the community that had supported it up until then. I actually don't know what the latest is (someone else feel free to reply with the update), but it hasn't been crucial enough in my workflow to keep up with.

  • My pleasure :)

  • Silver-lining: Ableton is very good and teaches a lot! Also, in case you ended up getting into Max4Live at all, it's worth checking out PlugData

  • Didn't realise it came with some Linux distros - cool! Sounds like something for me to spend a weekend looking into..

  • Yeah I asked about that on the LMMS Discord too, and said I had the same assumption. Apparently it is still under active dev, but you need to scroll down to the nightly builds.

    I don't know why they don't update the Git Releases..

  • Hahah yes, MIDI lag can be tricky, depending on setup. If the tracker-style DAWs I've listed don't work for your style, try LMMS, Helio, or Zrythm

  • Just started exploring Linux Studio Plugins last weekend! I've heard Ardour is good, but I'm sticking to $0 options if I can help it. That way people don't need access to credit cards, etc, to use the software

  • I have used and would recommend Blender. I just don't use it regularly :)

  • Yeah LMMS is decent, and its Piano Roll is actually really really good. However, IIRC I renamed some folders and it completely broke project links to my samples and was not easily fixable.

  • They actually can't. Being open-source, it's already proliferated. Apparently there are already over 500 derivatives of it on HuggingFace. The only thing that could be done is that each country in the West outlaws having a copy of it, like with other illegal materials. Even by that point, it will already be deep within business ecosystems across the globe.

    Nup. OpenAI can be shut down, but it is almost impossible for R1 to go away at this point.

  • and it's open-source!

  • Just subscribed, thanks!

  • I've also recently switched to Linux Mint as my daily driver. Linux + Open-Source is finally in a really good spot. I tell people that switching OSes always takes new learning, but a step-by-step approach is a sustainable one.

    Whenever I go back to Windows and see news and ads popping up in my Start Menu, etc, I realize how much shit we were putting up with even pre-Copilot. That's not even including Microsoft Edge forcing itself back as a default program with each major update. It's like the word "consent" doesn't exist to those people.
