From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.

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?

[–] LoopDigger@feddit.uk 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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'd be interested in following a linuxaudio community. Want to maybe run Reaper under Linux and get out from under Micro$oft.
