What is your favorite FOSS for music making / performance?
Feel free to describe what you use it for, and how you use it.
PD? Supercollider? Ardour? Zrhythm? LMMS? Bespoke? Csound?
Something completely else?
Give me all your thoughts 💙
(FOSS only, because.. you know.. political reasons... And I already know enough about the corporate mainstream softwares)
reaper is indeed a fantastic software!
btw would love do hear when you go for supercollider and when you go for plugdata?
i know supercollider is great for livecoding and manipulation of patterns etc. but i am more make a setup and map it to controllers so i wondering if i should put in the effort or just double down on pd since i know it already.
@lislegaard @madskjeldgaard superCollider is great for sound design. scsynth - SC sound server is extremely powerful synthesis engine (including sampling etc) that can be programmed and controlled via various languages - sclang, tidal, SonicPi all use scsynth at their core (when you download SC you get scsynth, sclang, and sc-IDE (code editor) in one working package - but you can dissasemble them.
but yeah it's textbased programming and has a but of a steeper learning curve (although mind you, you never learn everything in sc, it's too huge and has many dialects, so wherever you are on learning path that's where you are)
@dried @prinlu @madskjeldgaard
this is an excellent comment actually! because making the sounds in supercollider and controlling them with an interface in (my much more familiar) pd might be a cool way to do it!
