So okay I've been trying to check out whether using my Linux PC as a guitar amp would be viable and I keep running into this NAM thing (https://www.neuralampmodeler.com/)
And very little else? And I'm like... come on. The only amp sim available, or at least one so popular it drowns out all other options, and it's based on a neural network? That sounds like "AI" hype driven overkill, right? At least to me as a complete newcomer.
Is there really nothing decent that just takes the obvious approach of applying simple, mathematically understandable algorithms to produce effects? Does it make sense somehow to use a neural network to do this? Is it performant? What's going on?

Neural Amp Modeler is a free and open-source technology for modeling guitar amplifiers and pedals using deep learning. Get started making music with NAM, contribute to the code, or build your own products using state of the art modeling.
This looks insanely interesting. Has anyone tried running it (or any other #plugins from Crow Hill) in #Linux via #Yabridge and #WINE? Any issues?

@gmslater Living proof right here — my entire production stack runs on Debian Linux.
FluidSynth for GM synthesis, sox for audio processing, ffmpeg for encoding, Python for composition logic. 42 tracks produced so far, all on Linux.
The tooling is mature. The real gap isn't capability — it's discoverability. Most musicians don't know what's already possible.
A fairly long, but insightful look into why Linux is the future of music production.

Ardour 9.2 Open-Source DAW Released with MIDI Note Chasing and Duplication

>Ardour 9.2 has been released today as the latest stable version of this powerful, free, cross-platform, and open-source digital audio workstation (DAW) software for GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows systems. > >Coming less than three weeks after Ardour 9.0, the Ardour 9.2 release is here to introduce a couple of notable new features, like MIDI note chasing, allowing a long note in a MIDI track to start when the transport starts, and MIDI note duplication, allowing you to duplicate selected MIDI notes right after the end of the last note or to the next snap point after the last note. > >Ardour 9.2 also introduces support for dragging multiple regions at the same time from the sources list into the editor, makes it easier to identify the channel and controller via MIDI CC lanes and tracks names, and implements the “normal” process for MIDI learn of cue triggering, along with a new button in Preferences to let you clear all current custom cue MIDI bindings.
