My Jack server won’t start on Zorin OS, which make me unable to test Studio One.

Feels kind of strange, since Bitwig is running flawless using PipeWire, but Studio One (still in Beta) only uses Jack, and I have zero to no idea of how to fix this.

Seems there is some searching around to do, to find out why jack isn’t running.

After Roel Vugts from RV Audio Design (see: rvaudiodesign.com/) landed a formidable success (see, e.g.: youtube.com/watch?v=ebCjnirg6q) with his first #plugin Disseptor, an interesting take on #saturation with all-pass filters, I asked him if he would be willing to make a #linuxaudio version of the plugin, and he was! 🥳
And now I also did an #interview with the young Dutch developer on my #blog, see: amadeuspaulussen.com/blog/2025

The port of my music player #Benben to #CommonLisp continues... and as of tonight, the original S-Lang TUI interface is working! ​:happyremi: I even managed to fix a bug with the scrolling text fields and Japanese text.

The only C bindings going on here are:
#libxmp (to play the .xm file), libao (final audio output), ZStandard (VGM decompression), and #S-Lang (TUI). The rest is pure Common Lisp, including the DSP effects and #VGM playback/chip emulation.

Normally you launch this from the command line (which is also working), but I did it with Emacs+Slime just to be fancy.

#LinuxAudio

I am currently testing some amazing #compressor, #amp simulation, and #eq #plugin (s) by a renowned vendor that previously did not support #linux.
It honestly feels unreal to me to have those outstanding plugins run perfectly smooth and natively within #bitwigstudio on #linuxaudio. 🫣
I expect an announcement within a couple of weeks, as the beta testing is still ongoing and minor bugs are fixed.
I am super excited about another vendor supporting this great platform for #musicproduction. 🤓😜

@shanesemler Hmm, too bad. I am sorry that you had such a bad experience. Maybe you can try again in a few months.
I haven't had to adjust or tinker with anything audio related at all. I use PipeWire exclusively and can say without having to think about it that everything works just perfectly fine.
I hope that you will have more success with #linuxaudio in the future.

@shanesemler There are a lot of positive developments in #linuxaudio. ☺️
What setup do you use, if I might ask?
I use a desktop PC with a Ryzen 9 3900X and 64GB of memory, Manjaro Linux with the standard 6.13 kernel, PipeWire, an RME Fireface in CC mode and Bitwig Studio.
With 256 samples at 96000 Hz my #latency is currently 3.6 ms. With 128 samples it is 2.1 ms. And 64 samples is good for 1.1 ms latency.
Now, I don't know if these are amazing values, but it works very well for me. 🤓

I have been teasing this a couple of days ago... 🫣
RV Audio Design today announced that Disseptor, an outstanding harmonics processor, is now available for #linuxaudio. 🥳
Make sure to check it out in White Sea Studio's #snakeoil video #review at youtu.be/ebCjnirg6qE or on their website at rvaudiodesign.com/.
#plugin #harmonic #distortion
PD: I keep nagging developers, and I'm really happy that more and more of them are willing to make their products available for #linux. 😊
