Too Much Music Podcast – Linux in your Music Studio

Listen or watch below, or follow wherever you get your podcasts!

In this episode, our fearless hosts trace the evolution of digital audio tools from these academic, computationally intensive origins—where concepts like granular synthesis were offline processes—to the real-time, interactive software common today. The

When I use something like an external hard drive or CD-ROM, I have a stable connection whatever I do, moving the computer etc. However, with my external audio interface, only a slight touch to the USB plug causes an abrupt end of connection and the need to reconnect.

Can anybody tell me the connection is so much more fragile in this case?

I bought a returned Bitwig Connect audio interface at a discounted price and I'm impressed. I mean, the device is great, and also...

How nice it is to have a piece of music hardware that officially supports Linux, that offers a software control panel application that runs natively on Linux, that integrates deeply and out of the box with my DAW on Linux. Oh, and with a manual covering Linux details. 🐧

Long live Linux audio!

So I've finally set myself up to be living my best 100% Linux life. That's right: the last Microsoft account has been signed into in this house. Goodbye Xbox, goodbye Windows. Good riddance.

These two devices are the last ones I'll probably ever have that require me to sign in to a Microsoft account. Or surveil me while I'm just trying to write in a text file.

And helloo

I am thrilled to share that a new #linuxaudio #plugin #developer #interview is up at linuxaudio.dev/linux-audio-dev. 🤓
This time, I had the pleasure to talk to Guillaume Piolat EI from Auburn Sounds, an intriguing vendor of creative audio effect plugins.
As I learned in the interview, Auburn Sounds use their own framework called Dplug, to develop their plugins.

PD: You can find an overview of all the interviews I did so far at linuxaudio.dev/linux-audio-dev.

Okay, I'm switching over to my new @system76 Thelios Mira atm (which is glorious, by the way). I decided to go with Ubuntu Studio. I haven't used KDE in years, and I wasn't convinced right away.

But WOW, there are so many cool features! Here's one of my favorites, which I was delighted to happen upon: you can tell Dolphin (the file GUI) to open a terminal at the bottom of the window, which automatically cd's to wherever you go in the GUI!

One of my all-time favorite plugin makers, Soundtoys, is donating ALL SALES made today or tomorrow to the leading US organization dedicated to the civil rights of LGBTQIA+ people and everyone living with HIV.

Their plugins sound seriously great and are a joy to use. While they're not Linux native (yet!!), I've had good luck running them using Wine and yabridge.
