Google tells it works excellent. I've used one in the past (though it was MKII or even the first one, can't recall exactly) about eight years ago, and it worked flawlessly.

Re: Linux music player recommendation

Playing YouTube videos was not one of my original requirements, but would be nice to have, to demo music before purchasing, or listening to a few random songs just do not justify an hi-res album purchase What sound pressure level do you usually listen your music at? As a musician and recording engi...

Why would you use a full blown DAW just to host a couple of plugins? There's Carla for that.

JACK and Pulseaudio can work together. However, if you don't need any pro audio capabilities, using JACK is a huge overkill.

Re: Linux music player recommendation

You may have heard Genelec Sure, I mixed on their monitors at my friend's studio in Finland. Great stuff, but too expensive for my budget. The "binauralizer" I am using is not something to "enhance" the sound. It's purpose is to load .sofa files <a link was here> If you were rea...

Re: Linux music player recommendation

Why do you “need” all that stuff? This isn't making the sound any better, despite you might think otherwise. Binaural recordings are already binaural, so you don't need any “binauralizers” to get this effect; again, mixed and mastered material is already processed in the way it sounds the best. Inst...

Re: screcord.lv2

I think a minimalist option will come in handy here and there. One of the few real use cases I came up with is putting it into a MOD guitar processor. This is pretty handy when you want to capture something you just wrote right at the rehearsal place. And the cool thing about it is that you can ski...

Re: Gladish: Automatic studio created

Write a simple startup script for it. Currently there are no ways to do that via point and click, which is really nice.

I gonna write it down, print it, and hang in a frame on one of our studio's walls. It will be next to this statement: “Learning music theory? Nah, it narrows down my creative view”.

ArdourVST is obsolete and not supported. It's a really awful idea to even try it.

Re: Current list of commercial plugins?

Oh, and the Sonarworks, of course. Their Reference plugin is still in beta, but it already works like a charm, and I'm seriously thinking about buying it along with ToneLib's stuff. I'm rarely in our studio where I've got my monitors, so this will definitely speed up my mixing process a lot.

Re: Current list of commercial plugins?

It's not a trend really, but rather a natural flow of things. There's no rush among plugin vendors, but they, one after another, discover GNU/Linux as a good audio production platform, slowly porting their stuff to Linux VST format. Some people, like the guy behind Cut Through Records, were frustrat...
