New video just dropped a couple of days ago promoting #bitwig on #linux and general #linuxaudio info for beginners that are curious about #musicproduction on linux.

This is an incredible nice arpeggiator, just love the UI

Unfortunately it's just online :(
Anybody know of something similar that works in the DAW?
The Surge Synth Team has apparently continued the work of discoDSP's OB-Xd in the form of a new #opensource OB-Xf #synthesizer #plugin, available as #lv2, #clap and #vst3. #linuxaudio

Dear #linuxaudio friends. Today I have a new #interview for you.
It's the first one I didn't do back and forth via email, but rather in a video call followed by manual transcription. And it's with none other than David Schornsheim from #plugin #developer @uheplugins! 
https://linuxaudio.dev/linux-audio-developers-spotlight/u-he
Dear #linuxaudio users. What questions would you like to see answered in future Linux Audio Developer or Linux Musician interviews?
PD: These are some of the interviews that are almost complete and about to be published: David Schornsheim (u-he), Klaus Scheuermann (4ohm music), and Matt Thurtell (n-Track).
What’s the best multiband limiter for native Linux? I like Waves L316, looking for something similar…
Personally, I haven't used the #bitwigstudio #grid that often until now.
However, I recently came across a patch in which Elodia Blackstar attempted to recreate an Oberheim 4 Voice synthesizer in Bitwig's Poly Grid. Impressive stuff. 
Check it out here https://youtu.be/1nPgiGD5U6M?si=qjzAXXPMrBkTz1OD and here https://bitwiggers.com/presets/54caa0cc-e33b-4364-b899-1933bae6dace/

I have another question for you #linuxaudio #linuxmusician (s): Do you usually put effects directly on the respective channels, or do you prefer send/return channels instead?
Dear #linuxmusician (s). Do you regularly read manuals for #plugin (s) or do you prefer to figure things out on your own? #linuxaudio
Are there any full-time #linuxaudio #linuxmusician (s) on Mastodon who would like to share their experience in an interview for https://linuxaudio.dev/?
See existing interviews with @alisynthesis and @amadeus here:

I'm very pleased to announce that the next #interview with a #linuxaudio #musician, with @alisynthesis, has just been published to the website.

@unsafelyhotboots Oh nice, you'll have quite a few options then. I don't have any direct experience recently with interfaces with a small channel count, so maybe one of the #LinuxAudio people will weigh in, but I know that many of the focusrite interfaces have a good reputation for playing nice with Linux.
Got the final chip emulator ported to SatouSynth from YunoSynth: the YM2413 (aka VRC7). So now the two libraries have the same chips implemented, one in #CommonLisp, one in #CrystalLang. SatouSynth (the #lisp one) is just slightly ahead in terms of functionality since I didn't back-port VGM seeking into YunoSynth yet, but I will soon, probably in a day or two.
This also means #benben is now much closer to a v0.7.0 release. Just gotta fix up some unimplemented command line arguments, then finish the milestone for v0.7.0 (just one item left), then just do a thorough round of testing.
Testing will be a bit longer this time since the whole program was rewritten from scratch in Common Lisp, so I want to make sure everything is just right. I'll of course post new development AppImages as I go.
So my guess? Benben v0.7.0 will be out this fall.

For those of you interested in #linuxaudio and reading this you might also have heard of https://linuxdaw.org
A site giving an overview over quality audio software available for linux.
Not too long ago a user made a very nice contribution by setting up a mastadon bot that posts new additions (based on the RSS feed).
You can follow the bot here:

Shoutout to @icaria36 for setting this up! Thanks buddy :)
Recently #linux #CachyOS jumped to the no.1 spot on distrowatch.
I've followed this distro with slight curiosity for a while, their big selling point being #performance which is always nice.
..and a mighty good argument using it for #linuxaudio
Does someone have experience with this distro, spesifically used for audio / music production ?
I gotta admit, it sure looks tempting!
They ship custom kernel builds. One of them is targeting AMD Zen 4 which I have, so yea... exciting
@michaelmathy here are a couple of resources that might help you find Linux-native alternatives to your Windows audio tools:
https://amadeuspaulussen.com/blog/2022/favorite-music-production-software-on-linux (from @amadeus, follow him, he posts lots of cool #LinuxAudio stuff)
Do you use #yabridge / #wine to run #windows #plugin (s) on #linuxaudio?
Do you buy plugins at #PluginBoutique?
Do you like your music making at a 90-degree angle? The cool tracker DAW Renoise is on sale, and has a big cool new update! Lots of live coding goodness for those who celebrate.
