Best distro for audio production on older PCs

Does anyone know whether one audio production distro is better for use with older PCs than others? Lately I've been using Ubuntu Studio, but I really have to crank up the buffering to eliminate pops because my desktop PC (a Dell Inspiron) is 12 years old. This isn't ideal when recording guitar or vo...

Getting Hydrogen to recognize non-repository kits

Hey all, Wondering if anyone has any insight into whether it's possible to add drumkits that are NOT from Hydrogen repositories to Hydrogen. For example, I downloaded "The Cassette808" kit found here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/oi94189i54qj4rh/Cassette808_SamplePack.zip/file. I unzippe...

Re: Guitarix presets inside DAW?

Looks like the online button malfunction may have just been a temporary glitch. It's working fine now. I bet it was the JMC800PRE that was dropping out... I messed around with a few presets and made sure to change that setting if it got turned on and I didn't have the same issue. Just to make sure I...

Re: Guitarix presets inside DAW?

This is exactly what I needed. Thanks! For some reason the effects drop out during playback after a minute or two. Not sure why it's doing that. Also, I see an abbreviated list of presets. Seems like the standalone Guitarix app has more presets available. Looks like I should be able to download more...

Guitarix presets inside DAW?

Dumb question... When I open Guitarix as a stand-alone program outside of my DAW, I'm able to easily click a preset, play a few notes, and hear how it sounds. Am I able to do the same thing inside my DAW so that I can record a part and then apply different presets to the recording to hear how it sou...

Re: Hydrogen kits won't load

Thanks for replying!

I wound up removing the version of Hydrogen that came with Ubuntu Studio and installing the flatpak version instead. All the kits are accessible with that one.

Probably wasn't necessary, but it got the job done! :-)

Hydrogen kits won't load

Hey everyone, I'm running Hydrogen 1.2.0-beta on Ubuntu Studio 23.04. I've added http://hydrogen-music.org/feeds/drumkit_list.php and https://musical-artifacts.com/hydrogen_drumkits.xml to my server list and installed some of the drumkits from those repositories. However, when I load the kits, many ...

Where are Hydrogen drum samples saved?

Maybe this is a weird question, but where are Hydrogen drum samples saved? I want to try out Drumkv1 with a few samples I downloaded from the Hydrogen repository. Is that possible?

Re: My DAWs don't find Calf plugins

Looks like the issue was that Fedora Jam has the Calf LV2s stored in a location in which they're not accessible. I simply uninstalled Calf all together and then did a dnf search for Calf packages in the Fedora repository. After reinstalling, they are suddenly accessible to Ardour and Qtractor. Had t...

My DAWs don't find Calf plugins

Hello everyone! I'm just getting started on my linux audio journey. I'm running Fedora Workstation 37 (Gnome) and have installed the audio package that gives you everything from the Fedora Jam distro. Fedora Jam has Calf plugins preinstalled. And I can open the Calf plugins package independently as ...
