Hello, recently joined after 14 years on reddit, not sure if anyone would recognise me but I was mildly active in Linux subreddits, especially /r/linuxaudio.
Is there any interest in creating a similar community here? I have started getting back into making music on Linux after a few years where my job took over my life.
You must log in or register to comment.
IMO for now, post everything on this community itself as it is not that active. We can slowly diversify into niches but we first need to improve interaction.
I’m interested! I have a multiseat machine set up for my kids. Everything works great except the first one to log in grabs control of the single sound card and gets all the sound. I figure there is a way to set up pipewire so that they each have their own sound, but I haven’t figured it out yet. (The machine is running Arch, the seats are set up through loginctl, and I’m using Weston and drm-lease-manager to split the single graphics card.)
I used to be subscribed there and even posted sometimes and yeah I would be interested into having a Linux audio community here.
Count me in.
Reddit was read-only for me and I’ll confess I didn’t even know there was a linuxaudio sub. I look at /r/linux and /r/linuxquestions daily and the occasional furtive peek into /r/linuxmasterrace. Also anything related to KDE, Mozilla, Matrix/Element and Proton are always worth a read.
I used to lurk there and would be interested. I’m also just getting back in to recording whenever I get a spare moment
Got any music you can share?
Not at the moment, I did a fresh install of AV Linux about 2 weeks ago and just in the process of setting up all the tools, vsts and testing out a workflow. Currently have a mix of reaper and renoise and trying to resist the urge to download every vst known to man
I looove renoise! What vsts do you use on Linux?
I’m still exploring what’s out there for eqs etc. I tend to use the stock Reaper ones but I’m enjoying using Surge synth and drumgizmo at the moment.
It’s not VST but the CALF plugins are just fantastic and completely free
I think those might have been bundled with the distro. I’ll have to give them a look, thanks for the suggestion!
maybe keep it here for now until the userbase is higher if youre already gonna split now its not gonna be very active i think
