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). 🤓

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.

@amadeus PS my understanding is you can install Ableton to run in Linux but it takes a pretty good understanding of drivers.

@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.
