These are truly great times for Linux audio. I had been searching for a good granular effect plugin for a long time. And now there are two of them: GRN from FRCTL and Angels from Sequins. Since Angels is too overpriced for me, I'm sticking with GRN. It implements all the features I want very well.

Since Playtime doesn't work natively on Linux, I am searching for a Linux native solution for Reaper to give me a Session View (like Ableton).

Kenny Gioia's solution could work, but it's clunky. I have Audio Damage's Circa, but that has no Midi. The closest thing I've found is Giada, which is almost perfect (except it isn't a plugin). For non-native solutions, Mulab's DAW plugin or FL Studio.

What are you guys using on Linux with Reaper?

I don't know if many of you remember Digg or not. It was the premier face of the internet....until it died. Reddit was the competitor that replaced it.

Well, it's back!

I created a Linux Audio group, so that Linux music makers can have some representation there. If you are interested, please feel free to come and join! :)

Digg - People. Places. Things.

Digg was where humans on the internet decided what was cool before bots took over that job. Today, it's where you find your people. The ones chasing weird links, asking better questions, and keeping the internet curious.
