Nice. I'm glad to see the Lv2 support becoming more common :)

Re: [Help] me choose a soundcard

For whatever it is worth, I bought a used first-gen Scarlett 2i4 almost five years ago. I have never had any trouble with it, and I'm still using it. My friend bought his wife an Audient iD44, and they LOVE it. That's cool. I'd still be using mine if it didn't break. I'm really happy to have the iD...

Re: [Help] me choose a soundcard

When you say you have a midi keyboard, do you mean it has an actual midi port on it or is it just a USB keyboard? For starters, if you can't afford something like the 2i2 then you're probably not going to get anything good as that's considered a good budget choice. Also, I know that some of the Behr...

Re: The state of Linux DAWs in 2021?

Yeh Zrythm looks very promising. I tried a demo of it about a year ago and knew it'd be one to keep an eye on. I thought I'd give it a shot again the other night but the installation kept failing so I couldn't. I really want to know about it's Midi Group Tracks feature as I'm wondering if it's the t...

Re: The state of Linux DAWs in 2021?

Does anyone know much about Midi Group Tracks in Zrythm?
I'm struggling to find info about it but it looks like it might be of interest to me.

Re: The state of Linux DAWs in 2021?

I found on github, that LMMS is also gonna get swing. ( not sure if it will be in 1.3) 8) https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/issues/1091 https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/pull/4232 They are also working on 64 bit vst support on Linux. Nice :) Qtractor does this with copied clips. To exclude a copy from this y...

Last I checked, Mint is based on Ubuntu and they also have a version that's based on Debian.

Re: What Linux dist could i use?¿

Thanks, that's interesting. Just saw that @unfa had some issues recently when I watched some videos. Maybe I give it a trial. but at the moment I'm happy with Ubuntustudio. I usually only backup my /home data by grsync. The system is quickly installed again. Was it something to do with Nvidia drive...

Re: The state of Linux DAWs in 2021?

In Qtractor you can place MIDI clips overlapping. Doesn't look good and it's hard to select the right clip. But you can have several tracks feeding a bus with your drum-plugin. In Rosegarden you can place MIDI clips overlapping, and it looks ok. rg.png Yeh. That's cool but it isn't quite what I'm t...

Re: What Linux dist could i use?¿

How stable is Manjaro compared to Debian / Ubuntu? I read quite often in the past days that you break your system much more easily with Manjaro. Actually, more stable in my experience. I was a Mint (Based on Ubuntu/Debian) user before Manjaro and experienced more problems. My life is way easier on ...

Re: What Linux dist could i use?¿

Properly configured, many Linux distros would be suitable. Personally, I use Arch, and am very happy with that. I like the rolling release model, I like the "configure exactly what you need -- no more and no less" aspect, and I like the excellent documentation and the availability of thir...

Re: The state of Linux DAWs in 2021?

Seems very similar to what we refer to as clone-parts in MusE, they are all the same. So if you edit any one of those clones, do all of them receive the same edit, or just the individual one you edited? Not sure I'm getting this. Assigning several midi tracks to one synth can't be that uncommon? It...

Re: The state of Linux DAWs in 2021?

Rosegarden is not really what you'd call a DAW, but I find it by far the easiest for piano roll or notation recording. I haven't used Rosegarden for quite a while so I'll reinstall that too. Why wouldn't you call it a DAW? Can you use plugins and mix with it? Ardour can do this too, but the interfa...

Re: The state of Linux DAWs in 2021?

What do you think is missing in Qtractor? It has a very good MIDI editor. Qtractor is one of the best Linux DAWs I've tried. That and Tracktion Waveform were my favourites. But as an FL Studio user, I'm just used to being able to work really quickly in the piano roll and I love the way midi clips w...

Re: The state of Linux DAWs in 2021?

Thanks for the tips :) I remember trying out the Renoise demo as it looked really cool. I just don't think trackers are for me though.. I did look into Ardour but it seems like midi still isn't where I'd like it. That's really cool about LMMS. Last time I used it I really wanted LV2 support. I'll do...
