#artist in the most general sense of the word?

Do you use
#Krita
#Gimp
#Ardour
#Blender
#Plume
#Darktable
#LMMS
#Godot
#Twine
#Kdenlive
or other #FLOSS / #OpenSource software
as part of your workflow?

Do you use #linux as your OS when creating/performing?

consider tagging:
🐧 #artwithopensource
🐧 #linuxartists
(or reply here with your own tags)

🎨 maybe you create art, photography, design, using software like #krita #gimp #ardour #blender, #darktable, #mypaint #inkscape

🎼 ...and music using #ardour #lmms #kxstudio #hydrogen #puredata or distros like #ubuntustudio

📝 ...or when writing stories your tools to go are #plume #libreoffice or #zim

📽 Maybe you make films and animation with #kdenlive #pitivi #synfig

🎮 ...or make games with #godot or #twine

🛠 You might be using tools like #robocut #openCAD #processing or #arduino to create your art or design of any form

🎪 or simply creating art using traditional mediums, doing work in performance art, circus arts or theatre, using any of the above or others to create or document your work.

are you an artist or creative in the most generic sense of the word, and use #FOSS / #FLOSS / #OpenSource software as part of your workflow?

consider tagging your works with
🐧 #artWithOpenSource tag and check out the tag for works by your fellow mastodon artists who also prefer Open Sourced alternatives.

@eylul I use vim for writing :) Though because I tend to max out my 500 chars, I wouldn't have space for an extra tag.

artists, musicians, creatives!

if you use #opensource / #foss /#floss software such as #krita #gimp #blender #godot #lmms #processing #puredata and others

consider tagging your works with #artwithopensource :)

#creativetoots #mastoart #photography #illustration

its been a while since I did this reminder. but if you use

 #Krita
#Darktable
 #Gimp
 #Blender
#Godot
 #Inkscape

in your work...

if you use  #Ubuntustudio or another #linux distro as your work OS...

if you use #FOSS / #FLOSS / #opensourced software to create art or other type of creative works

#artwithopensource / #linuxartists tags are for you.

@eylul
I'm confused, hash tag more?
@simba it is just a reminder that the hashtags #artwithopensource and #linuxartists exists :)
@eylul what a massive list of tools to try. :) , I was lucky to stumble upon your post. Thank you for that.
@eylul
or like to edit files with nano 😞 #leftout

@eylul

Thank you for putting out this post regularly.

I think it is a strong community builder.

@eylul wow this list is like a knowledge base of programs for artists and designers 👌.

#scribus #darktable #inkscape
#FOSS #designedWithOpenSource #artWithOpenSource

@Pedro I hadn't thought of it that way, but I guess it is. It is unfortunately missing several programs (mostly due to char limit :D)
@eylul and we started http://f-lat.org/ a non profit organisation for "free-libre art and technology" in brussels some years ago with @xuv @frankiezafe @ptr_here and others ... not much activity except development of #polymorph these last months though... #artwithopensource #linuxartists

@Nomys_Tempar art/work/projects that uses #FLOSS, for introduction posts if you use them regularly, profile. relevant discussions. The goal is just to highlight creative work done using #OpenSource tools. :)

🙂
(does this answer your question?)

@eylul I design the cutting files for my little houses and such with #inkscape, and cut them with #robocut. 🐧 #artwithopensource #linuxartists

I was gonna say I should use those tags on Instagram too except apparently #robocut is a lawnmower there.

@gamehawk @eylul what little houses? I feel like this is something neat that I have missed.
@inmysocks @eylul https://instagram.com/silver_seams/ or further back in my posts (hmm, maybe Masto needs a show-posts-with-media option like birdfeed has).
Please do what @eylul is asking - makes it easier for us to find you! (And you us, and others us, etc)
@eylul @patdavid I've been guilty of this. cognitively, it was helpful to realize that I've always got characters to spare with mastodon's generous character limit. #noexcuses
@eylul I may at some point persuade my wife to use Darktable and Luminance HDR in the future 🙂

@eylul

Yes! I'm an artist and I use #Darktable #Gimp, #Krita, #KdenLive, #zim and others.

Here's a time lapse video of my silk painting, done with KdenLive:

#Linuxartists #artwithopensource

@eylul @cygnetsilks welcome! #zim is so great. since I found out how to make #orgmode pretty on #Emacs I've been migrating. (feel like you're never done integrating Emacs into your workflow).

@K_REY_C @cygnetsilks :D

#zim is my primary notetaking software these days, and I do like how I can organize folders of projects with it and have notes on them

#artwithopensource #FLOSS #opensource

@eylul @K_REY_C @cygnetsilks

#ZIM is great!

All of the content for my business site was drafted and structured in #Zim while I got my thoughts straight.

@cygnetsilks @eylul JUst watched it. Mesmerising! I've never heard of Zim though, which intrigues me as I've been around long enough to know most FOSS art tools! (Ex contributor to Krita, myself :) )

@Blort @cygnetsilks it is a open sourced desktop note taking app.

http://zim-wiki.org/

@eylul Yup. Fantasy author and visual artist (sort of). Use #Gimp, #Blender, #Darktable, #Inkscape, #LaTeX, and even #subversion on my #linux server. So I guess that makes me one of the #linixartists who loves #OpenSource.

Keep Committing Art!

@eylul Didn't see this message. Still learning to use Mastodon. I tagged #fosscreative :)
@eylul as a Blender (#b3d) developer, I use Blender on a daily basis!
@eylul Thanks, I just got a recording interface and Ardour. Thanks for sharing where to post my creations. :)
@eylul I use #krita for digital paintings with wacom tablet :) Oh and I should mention another great opensource application for pixel art #aesprite! It's such a great app ^_^ And it is very unique in the manner of how its built.
@eylul It's a paid application and It deserves every cent XD

@eylul
I see that late but :
I'm sound tech (and a little bit interactive soundscapes creator) and i use a lot #Ardour, #jackaudio #non-daw and the #kxstudio suite.
I work on a #debianSID

Look my postes for more ;)

@eylul
I make music with #sox -- does that count?
@enkiv2 I think it does? :) I am curious now through I thought it just did sound conversion.

@eylul
Sox does sound conversion, mixing, and all kinds of filters & mutations. It also has a 'synth' command that can produce sines, sawtooths, plucks, and a couple other really basic tones (as well as white/brown/pink noise).

I wrote some shell scripts that automate the synthesis & mixing of tones in sox, & that's what I use.

@enkiv2 @eylul ...and here I was having trouble figuring out how to use it just to do basic fade-in/fade-out.

Can it do loudness compression? Extract a segment of audio beginning and ending at a particular time?

@eylul @woozle yes. (The man page describes how to do all of that, though I can't really call it intuitive or discoverable.)

Almost everything Audacity can do (including the filters & transforms) can be done in sox -- the exceptions being shifting pitch without tempo & vice versa while leaving the sample rate unchanged & synthesizing risset drums.

@enkiv2 @eylul I guess I need to set aside some time to Explore & Document ;-)
@woozle @eylul From the manual:
fade [type] fade-in-length [stop-position(=) [fade-out-length]]
Apply a fade effect to the beginning, end, or both of the audio.

@eylul @woozle
Example: to apply a 2 second fade in and a 2 second fade out to input.wav:

sox input.wav output.wav fade 2 2

@woozle @eylul
For loudness compression you want the compand filter.

For extracting a segment you want to use trim.
