Do you know if VST Plugins such as Archetype and Get Good Drums work on Linux? I really want to switch to Linux. Only thing that holds me back are my precious VSTs.

Reaper has been my first choice of DAW for a decade or more...I use logic and studio one too running on a Mac....Reaper is super powerful

is it necessary to use carla for audio plugins? does it have other uses?

lol holy hell Ubuntu 7. My main DAW, Bitwig, runs natively and I got it working on Manjaro because someone had done the work to get it on the repo. Which brings me to I'm kinda tired when a company says Linux native what they mean is debian/ubuntu. Or flatpack, which is easy but can bloat things I've been told. My biggest hurdle was on the audio side. I've just discovered that the PreSonus Quantums should work with Linux; they have Android/iOS compatibility on the site. I suppose I could boot a live USB and see if my HD 2 works. That and getting my head around all the different options, JACK, ALSA, etc. PreSonus has a Studio One Linux beta from December 2023; I don't think it's gone much past that, and it was missing a LOT of features from its Windows counterpart. Some people are already using Linux to make audio and don't know it >_> modern MPCs are running a bespoke OS based around Linux, I think Maschine+ is, too. The Isla S2400 just got a DSP card that's a Linux computer running LV2, CLAP, or VST plugins. yabridge. and.. carol? Sadly those don't work for some plugins, usually ones that require brand-installer programs (Arturia, Native Instruments, etc). But it's better than nothing.

Ubuntu studio has been my go to for several years now. Lots of great plugins right out of the box. I was a little miffed at the recent switch to kde, but installing xfce back in doesnt take much effort. Im due to upgrade to 24.04, so im considering just keeping kde. For some reason ive always had stability issues with kde or it just didnt work right for my workflow, but i threw studio on my mess-around laptop and im definitely getting used to it. Anyone else have issues with kde? Or is it just me being a doofus?

Another great video, thank you! Reminds me a lot of the static site generator Hugo, but for music instead of blogs. This channel is quickly becoming one of my favorite sources for music/video/audio related Linux content!

Hmmm cam i host this on my own server and domain?

Thank you so much for this video. I've been running Linux daily now for over 5 years so far, but only recwntly started diving into audio production on Linux, and it makes me so happy to see detailed, easy to follow videos like this. Its super inspiring too, and pushes me to also create videos on Linux and help others, because I remember vividly how tricky it could be initially, when it doesn't have to be. Again, thank you. This is so valuable to the community and I am eternally grateful for people like you that take time to not only learn, but share it with others in an easy to digest manner. Its exactly what this world needs.

As a developer, I nod along like I understand half of what you're saying about Linux. But honestly, I keep coming back to your channel just because your voice is like the background music I never knew I needed. You could read out kernel panic logs, and I'd still be here, chilling.

I start with Linux in early 2000 but I don't like to listen music on it, sound is the worst part of that os, it is so terribly, sounds harsh, lack of bass, plasticky and unnatural.

But Pipewire sux

You must hate yourself

Very informative video thank you. Just one criticism, what frame rate are you recording your video at, you seem to be skipping frames. Maybe it's a problem in post?

You know what I love? I really love the sound of your microphone settings (or mastering). It sounds excellent. Most of the UA-camrs are using too much loudness, and sometimes it hurts my ears. Sometimes I need to put them in place using only 1 volume % (my global settings is 85 on Linux for all apps). Because I'm using AKG K550, so it's very neutral, and your sound matched these headphones perfectly. The sound is perfect, warm, not squeaky, not too loud. You are really revolutionary, because I've searched Linux audio content for years, and finally You are there, thank You. I hope You will get A Million subs soon! This is my wish for you, and I will encourage anybody to subscribe to your channel.

You're a great source of knowledge! Thank you for sharing these valuable tips.

i don't need to pay for online mastering because i can literally learn anything about mastering (i have a book from 2008 that has an entire chapter dedicated to this process), get some plugins (stock plugins in your DAW are fine, as long as you have the knowledge about how to use them) and do some trial and error (may suck at first but still)

awesome! i had never heard of matchering up until now! maybe i'll use your instance, or maybe i'll set up my own when it comes to mastering, i'm definitely no expert, so the approaches using matchering would be a great idea for my workflow. generally in my own masters i just have an eq and soft clipper, taking care of everything else in the mix. maybe a change would be nice

Cool video, the only thing is that the amount of noise in the original footage isn't really bad enough to show the efficiency of the denoisers, I could barely see the difference between original and denoised.

As someone who sing karokes on discord with usb microphone and gaming headst and using my smart phone as the music source via Bluetooth I have to say I'm pleased with ubuntu studio performance been able to rout any audio output to any input is awsome with piprwire

You don't consider Bitwig a DAW?

The current AV has refused to boot to a DE on multiple systems. The last worked fine on any system.

note: you don't need to copy the iso files to the ventoy host usb drive, you can access your computer's local drive through it, it also makes for a much faster connection since the typical slow usb flash drive speed is not even comparable to a sata or nvme connection. of course this would be impractical if you plan to format the whole drive the isos are located on, but it's perfect for livecd mode. there might be a way to add persistent storage for each of their livecd modes as well. i have been looking for a way to boot directly into ventoy without the need for an external drive for some time now.

Anyone making music on Android? I was considering Linux at a point but than Android happened. I am not that much of explorer I guess 😊

Can arturia pligins run in yaybridge?

thanks to youtube for showing this video on my homepage

becouse you're nuts

I just use audacity in Linux. That works. What does not work is reducing size of mp3 in Linux. Go under 96kbps and thd quality goes too much down. In windows xp, 7, 10 I can go to 48kbps and it's still reasonable. Why?

Could you recommend me any DAW that accepts sf2 files to play at ?

Joke answer with probably the smallest, smallest tongue I cheek sliver of truth? Is it: because you’re a masochist. Because you’re a psycho. Because you’re a programer. Because you just hate windows and Mac *THAT MUCH* Because you want to make things even more difficult (see the first reason) Because you can have just what you need and nothing else, buuut also probably all of the above lol My guess? In small parts, all of the above🤷‍♂️😂👌

This is the channel every Linux user wishes was out there for their particular use case. Great stuff, man. 🎉

Renoise is still around...

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

ill be joining in this transition, hope to get more vieos about this

heyy wes, can you make a video testing up Zrythm? it's a new open source daw that is pretty trending 😄!

Great Vid! Yes, Please make an endepth Vid about Yabridge.😀

Where are the links for everything you're using?

Ten minutes of talking about NOTHING. This video helps no one.

The problem is hardware. There are only be about a dozen audio interfaces that have truly working linux drivers, and most of those seem to be class-compliant 2-channel behringer interfaces. There doesn't seem to be a modern, reliable way to get a lot of outboard equipment into a linux workstation. If it weren't for that, I'd be running linux on all of my machines. It just isn't workable for a professional studio unless you're doing almost everything in the box. I wish that weren't the case.

It's too bad that I can't hear this video because I screwed up pulseaudio trying to configure JACK

What I love with Audio production/music creation and Linux, is that you can absolutely decide what resources should be dedicated to that, and not to just populate your system memory to just hang around, lingering, doing F.all! I know several ppl that work as experts in configuring windows so that it solely are customised to Audio production. Removing services and tweaking processes, modifying registry, so that all resources goes to the Audio production. It's close to not necessary on *nix

Comprehensive and well researched information. I'm using Mint and have it set up to my liking but keep thinking about Ubuntu studio. Will also explore AV. Thanks for sharing

Cudos for getting it to work. Linux is not an catch-all thing. It works very very well when you set it up to do one thing for one computer. Hsve done the same a few times. It's still a hasle, but it works ok.

really good content!

Muy buena orientación para los que no conocemos el mundo linux en audio producciones. Me suscribo y muchas gracias por compartir tus conocimientos. Saludos desde Venezuela.

Super useful info, cheers!

Would be nice to get your blend file for download.

Could you remix the sounds of Linux Mint and upload it to your channel?

Best linux for audio production in my experience: 1. Debian 12 KDE or LXQT with cadence, jackd2 and Pulse audio install kxstudio meta packages for faster setup and wineasio from same kxstudio repo, the good thing about cadence is that you can set wine asio settings from there.. 2. UbuntuStudio 24.04 pipewire 3. Endevor OS (arch linux) kde plasma or lxqt version with latest pipewire. (I find AvLinux buggy or maybe its me who dont like that desktop environment.. rather recommend stock debian 12 to begin audio setup from there)

Focusrite 3rd gen support Linux well with native alsa Scarlett gui software and the builtin kernel sound-usb modules. in later than Linux 6.7 works plug and play. See a bright future for Linux audio because booth presonus and bitwig are natively available now and REAPER supports Linux on Intel and ARM architectures. And the development of PipeWire continues while yabridge works great with wine staging on Debian 12 for Windows vst plugins.. :-) (as of now the traditional jackd2 setup is more stable, but pipewire is not far away).. (the most stable way for lowlatency audio in Linux is using cadence and jackd with pulseaudio and wineasio for Windows programs..) this i just a summary of what I have learned in the "Linux world".. ;-) I find your videos interesting..🙂
