What topic would you like to see me cover in my next #peertube #youtube #video on #linuxaudio?

I have more ideas, but these are three of my personal favorites for the next episode of my Linux Audio Soliloquy series (PeerTube: https://spectra.video/w/p/3Lg6ohkRAjU3RvXXH3GKWL / YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYZHVKyIslw&list=PLfbsxV-mtFVAEzggVO_bdEOiRY1ixe8lJ). 🤓

@michaelmathy Thank you! I will do that video soon anyway. 😎

@amadeus

I chose the plugins option, because I'm not coming to Linux DAW from some other O/S.

I'm using FOSS/Linux film production tools,, and would like to learn more about DAW workflow.

Currently I rely heavily on Audacity, but I'm aware it may not be the best tool for all the things I want to do.

I have tried Ardour, but have much to learn there. And there are many tools I know about, but have never tried: Hydrogen, Synsy, Utau, LMMS, ...

Techniques I should learn better: mixing ADR, filtering/cleaning field recordings, matching acoustics, digital foley (wondering if I can do that with Hydrogen?), etc.

But also very basic DAW how-to stuff would probably interest me.

I presume the reason there is no PeerTube link is that you haven' started it yet? Looking forward to that!

@TerryHancock I will answer in more detail later, but here is the PeerTube link that I forgot to add to the previous post: https://spectra.video/w/p/3Lg6ohkRAjU3RvXXH3GKWL

@TerryHancock I've taken notes on things that might interest you. 🙌

Currently, Bitwig Studio is my digital audio workstation of choice, but I'd like to explore other options and create videos about them in the future.

Whenever possible, I will try to present information in a way that it can be useful to users of other DAWs, as well. 🙏

- Debunking old Linux audio myth.
- Actually comparing different kernels.
- What can Linuxaudio that proprietary systems can't?
- how to spot good plugins? How to spot bad plugins?
- comparing 2 foss plugins that do roughly the same thing. (For example 2 compression plugins, or 2 distorsion plugins)

@samuelFRDE @amadeus awesome ideas. I support these suggetstions :D
Show threadAmadeus Paulussen3d ago

@samuelFRDE Excellent ideas! 🙌

I put on my list:
* Is an rt kernel better for music production?
* What can Linux Audio do, that macOS and Windows can't?
* Open Source vs Closed Source Plugins!
* Debunking Linux Audio myths!

Just how to get started! Every time I open Ardour / LMMS, just the "basic" setup seems so confusing and overwhelming! I'd love a basic tutorial on just setting up a usb midi keyboard with both to start recording and mixing. One that doesn't assume I'm deeply familiar with the inner workings of JACK and realtime kernels and...

*buries head in sand*

@Blort OK, understood. I've put “Linux Music Production Setup & Basics” on my list of video ideas. Thank you! 🙌

I’d be interested in an audio editor that warps my playing to a tempo the way Ableton does and assembles those clips on a timeline the way FL studio does, and let me use band in a box as a plug-in on the timeline for all kinds of ideas to mooch for drums, rhythm, and lead “suggestions”

In Linux, of course. Is all that stuff already available? I haven’t googled the answer. Thanks!

@CheapPontoon To be honest, I'm not sure.

For a long time, I hoped that Acon Digital would bring Acoustica to Linux.

I've been using Audacity from time to time.

Unfortunately, I can't tell you whether the latter can offer what you're looking for as I myself only ever used it for very simple tasks.

There is a new version coming though:

thanks for your reply, I don't expect you to find this for me, but I'm elaborating in case anyone else sees this and knows more.

Ableton has a quantization of audio that is unlike any that I've seen. They call it a "warp" function that can quantize audio clips without glitching them. I've used other audio editors but it's a laborious process of adjusting the transients to the beat. For someone like me who strives for rhythmic strumming, Ableton is great. as if Ableton reads my mind and can tell what rhythm I'm attempting. The shortcoming with Ableton's Warp is their Loop and Clip mentality. Too short. I'd love if Edison or some other audio editor could quantize like that for longer passages in the timeline.

@CheapPontoon If only Ableton would release Live for Linux! You know that Push runs on Linux, right? In other words, they have Live for Linux but aren't releasing it.
Show threadCheapPontoon2d ago
@amadeus PS my understanding is you can install Ableton to run in Linux but it takes a pretty good understanding of drivers.
Show threadAmadeus Paulussen2d ago
@CheapPontoon My understanding is that, in order to install Live on Linux, you would have to extract the binary from their Push standalone device that runs Live on Linux.
I haven't heard of anyone having done so.
