Dear #linuxaudio users. Two vendors told me just recently that they would consider supporting #linux if there was reasonable demand are:
https://imaginando.pt/
https://treedsp.com/

In case you want to let them know that there actually is any demand for their #plugin (s) on Linux.

Can someone recommend a good affordable #microphone that is directional and does not pick up to much of ambient noise for podcast type voice recordings? I own a Rhode NT-1 and an Aston Origin and while they sound great they are very sensitive. #linuxaudio

Which option do you gravitate towards in the #studio?
I ask because some of my friends and I regularly #rewire our spaces, take things apart, service them, clean them, reorganize #sample libraries, #plugin collections, etc. And we really enjoy this part of the #studiolife as well. #musicproduction #maintenance #linuxaudio

Hey @amadeus and any other #LinuxAudio types: has anyone requested native support for TDR plugins on #Linux? :)

Another question all you nice Linux Audio peeps!

How important is the GPU performance for musicproduction?

Time to give this new-to-me Korg MS-20 a spin...

Have any of you #linuxaudio #linuxmusician (s) ever been to the #lac #linuxaudioconference?

In case you are interested in a #discount on some great #plugin (s) by a friend of mine, Oskar from Sinuslabs has just announced a Spring Sale for KO and REACH, an outstanding harmonics processor and an excellent reverb: https://www.sinuslabs.io/

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.

I am using #gnome48 with #wayland on #manjaro #linux (kernel 6.14) and have the problem that in #bitwigstudio (#flatpak) to rename a Cue Marker, it takes two clicks on the respective Cue Marker to accept keyboard input for renaming.
Bitwig support says this does not happen on their officially supported platform, Ubuntu. What could possibly be causing this?

After Roel Vugts from RV Audio Design (see: https://rvaudiodesign.com/) landed a formidable success (see, e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebCjnirg6qE) 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: https://amadeuspaulussen.com/blog/2025/interview-roel-vugts-rv-audio-design

The port of my music player #Benben to #CommonLisp continues... and as of tonight, the original S-Lang TUI interface is working! ​​ 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.

Finally took the time to set up some trusty Windows audio plugins in Linux today, courtesy wine + yabridge. Now I've got Sonible, Arturia, and FabFilter plugins in my Debian 12 system! What more could you ask for, seriously?

MMEA y'all (make mixing easy again)

(Okay, you could ask for UAD and Soundtoys, but then you'd just be greedy.)

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.

I personally own an EF44 and am super happy with it.
It even comes with a #linux editor!
