When I was deep in a routine of constant music-making, I made it a specific point to always reconfigure my entire home studio before making or working on each tune. I was trying to teach myself new techniques and increase the probability that I'd accidentally discover other nice techniques. I think ...

Please, there are some really nice smart good people here who know how to problem solve technical enigmas within brief quantities of time. Y'all already proved that to me. Can we please get some modern circa 2022 updates on how to obtain and install Linux Firewalls successfully and how to avoid bein...

Seriously, As of yesterday, this is at least the 9th or 10th time or more that I've been antagonised and had a recently installed, configured, and improved DAW system hacked and sabotaged. Other times my physical computer, the object itself was stolen. As you guys know, I had recently increased my o...

Hey, thanks for the response. I do agree that fewer pluins tends to invite stability. However there's an inherent trade off and it's hard to avoid not having lots if some of them come in "packs" such as the LADSPA pack. But yeah, I agree, it's better to go with a minimum. But seriously, if...

I keep forgetting to contact a friend of mine to get a copy of the fonts. If anybody has a direct download link to some specific metric-compatible linux ones, that'd be nice. I might need font near-look-alikes for at least: Arial Calibri Consolas Courier Tahoma Verdana Also, if anybody knows which A...

Oh, by the way. Another really nice VST effect treasure is "LookAhead Limiter" (freeware) by the still honorable Christian Budde. That limiter single-handed suddenly allowed me much better mixes after I started using it. Somebody might need to re-host the Christian Budde VST plugin files s...

Interesting, thanks for sharing those plugins, I really like old ones like Barry Satan´s Maximizer and Eric Sound Plugins. Oldies but goodies :D Hmmm, I've never heard of those; never used those. But the few Terry West plugins (VST) that I used in my previous setup completely improved my ability to...

BTW, when using windows reaper with wine, what kind of latency you can get? With other windows DAWs, there seems to be need to but huge buffer sizes to avoid xruns. Hmmm, good question. My old system (that I don't have anymore) seemed to have decent low latency because I was able to edit the pulse ...

This not so much a question, but a place to put answers as the times change. BACKGROUND: Personally, in the past, I had great success in the past with 32-bit (windows compatible) Reaper on WINE in 32-bit Xubuntu, 32-bit Lubuntu, 32-bit MX Linux, and I can't remember if I got it to work on Manjaro or...

Awesome thanks! Your hard work is NOT going unnoticed. Some of us greatly rely upon such genius tools to get our creative laboratories established. Much gratitude from me on this. Realtime Configuration QuickScan(ner). ah shucks, question... Q: By the way, how do I get it and install for Manjaro Lin...

Thanks for the really nice replies. It's nice to be able to admire somebody else's handiwork. By the way, if anybody needs to record desktop audio ONLY, without recording the visuals, I saw a YouTuber do it once. He used FFMPEG(!) which is awesome in terms of both power and simplicity and availabili...

OK, I didn't have much luck with what I found. However, the entire reason for it turns out to be moot, I guess. In the past, FL Studio required the MS CoreFonts (I think mainly Arial.TTF) or else there would be no words, just a blank, blind colourful interface. Impossible to use without words... So ...

I found a really nice oldie but goodie again! free to download... https://web.archive.org/web/20150106183438/https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/65046980/CS12M%201.69.ZIP (click) ( file: "CS12M%201.69.ZIP" ) https://rekkerd.org/img/201207/terrywest_CS12M.jpg It's the v1.69 of Terry West's ...

I got FL Studio to work. This is good. Here's a clue about what kind of music I'll be making in the future: https://i.postimg.cc/tJHnVgCs/FL-Studio-Meter.png In the past, FL Studio needed some Windows Fonts to work, so I copied some of the Liberation fonts into C:\Windows\Fonts and renamed them to A...
