Updating myself on #gnulinux free/libre #audio software after 10y. WOW! 🤯 (stopped using proprietary software 20y ago, around Reason2.0)
- 20y ago: "Audio on #linux?! what? where? haha" 🌑
- 15y ago: "so frustrating.. it may never work.." 🌒
- 10y ago: "ah if only someday.. some stuff is *really interesting and promising*.." 🌓
- today: WOW. 💥🌕💥
Most interoperable audio platform ever! Such polished software! So much dedication+love!
❤️
Best showcase/evidence of #free/libre sw on long term! <3
Among the most amazing pieces of free/libre software I tested in the last few months (but not limited to...) are:
-#Ardour 7.0 (wow! remember launching versions 1.0 then 2.0!! so featurefull, flexible, robust now!)
-#SurgeXT, one of many new free/libre synths, part of the https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/ suite
- #Bespoke, incredible DAW reminding of AudioMulch (!)
- #Hydrogen, one of the first mature audio software that gave me hope 15y ago, as a drum machine.
yet didnt touch #VCVRack...
@jz Similar experiences here. I use Ardour as main daw since 8 years. And I've seen so much progress in that time.
Just on a side note: I see you use calf plugins. If I remember right, people said calf doesn't treat audio material right, nicely, whatever. Have you tried the LSP-Plugins for linux? I can recommend them a lot.
@torstentorsten Oh really?? tell me more! Do you have a source for that? Seems like useful information...
Will look into the LSP
