Though Steven Yi's about me in the first keynote at #LAC26 presents a typical history of a #LinuxAudio community member, it's not "mandatory" to have used #Linux and #FreeSoftware in the early days (e.g., since kernel version 1.0).

In fact, now is the best time to start your experience in terms of available #OpenSource solutions, especially but not limited to #ProAudio needs. Drop your proprietary software today and switch.

Here's a list—not intended to be exhaustive—of communities, people, and projects to check out:
- @ardour
- @dvzrv
- @falktx
- @jeremy
- @linuxaudiodevelopment
- @openmastering
- @pipewire
- @sonoj
- @SpotlightKyd
- @trummerschlunk

This year the #LinuxAudioConference happens at #MaynoothUniversity, #Ireland. The logic house, which hosts the department of #music, welcomes all creatures interested in #OpenSource and #FreeSoftware for #ProAudio.

Remember: #LAC26 is free of charge! So this is your chance to delve into the #LinuxAudio community. 

Linear-phase EQ preserves phase coherence at the cost of pre-transient ringing, which falls outside the ear's backward masking window and is often more audible than minimum-phase's 'distorted' phase response.

Vision Ears GO live! Review

The GO live! is currently the most affordable hybrid multi-driver IEM in the company's product lineup.

Does a cheaper price tag mean an inferior sound? James finds out in his latest feature, now published on Headfonics!
