Friends of #ElectronicMusicProduction who like samples, you might be interested to look at Archive.org and a very large collection of #samples from the 90s. Could be good for #BonkWave and #NotBonkWave

It is most reassuring that I have been able to get my workflow back in place for #BitwigStudio for #Linux #ElectronicMusicProduction again.
It's been just over 3 months since I moved away from Windows and there were some moments where overwork at the brewery and holiday business fatigue had me worried that I had might not find my muse again.
I am pleased to report that #weird sounds are again flowing from my fingertips.
Is it #BonkWave or #NotBonkWave - time will tell and I want to finish it first so I don't want to spoil the surprise.
#Linux #ElectronicMusicProduction journey update. After my very clumsy and ruinous command entry of three days ago I am back to a fully operational setup.
A do-over meant making a couple of changes, ditching some things and discovering what had been poorly documented the first (or nth) time around.
I am glad to be back in what feels a stable configuration.
Questions that remain:
1. how did the tilde get picked up in a quick copy paste action?
2. why do Flatpack installations have permissions such that when customising locations the Flatpack application can not see custom locations in my user file structure?
These aren't burning questions which I will loose sleep over, but they present some curiosities that I'd eventually like to better understand.
I bought myself a #BlackFriday special of the 2025 #SamplesFromMars items. I really like how these enthusiasts are using historic gear and are producing vinyl and tape #music archives to then resample and offer as part of their packs. There are some sweet sounds in there. They are fun for working with in #BitwigStudio for #ElectronicMusicProduction and possibly in the search for #BonkWave and #NotBonkWave sounds.
@mosgaard thank you for your kind words. I’ve written what I would have liked to refer to when I was new to this.
I now have a responsive workstation where I can explore #Linux driven #BonkWave and #NotBonkWave #ElectronicMusicProduction in #BitwigStudio.
And I use it for all my other needs too.
My #LinuxAudio journey is continuing and so far, so good in #LinuxMint. I have multiple versions of #BitwigStudio installed alongside one another. My goal of creative #ElectronicMusicProduction on #Linux is nearing a fully functional state.
And everything is working. This time I am taking notes and saving snippets of code to my website. Anyone else wishing to replicate this (it is a work in progress) can check out my notes over here: https://www.ambientspace.com/technical-notes/bitwig-notes/linux-audio-considerations

Post post postscript. Clearly there are things that happen to semiconductors as they age and so I have added an "Age" modulator that introduces random cross-modulated wiggles that attenuate in the longer the gate is open. #Wibbly #ElectronicMusicProduction in #BitwigStudio and ideal for #BonkWave - whew.
Time for bed and dreaming of making some exciting music.
Post postscript. Today my #ShermanFilterbank is behaving more typically today. Dirty pot made better by using? Switching and turn it back on again?
More critical listening shows I was close but not on the mark yesterday. Today? A lot closer. I want to add some basic switches to adjust the envelope follower to smooth it and attenuate in heavy signal conditions.
