Linux DAW to use for Live Looping Performance?

Post by xtianstar12 »

I want a software that can loop on the fly for live performance through a Midi Keyboard and microphone.

I was using Ableton Live to accomplish this (which I have installed through Wine but uses too much CPU), and I know there is Bitwig that is similar to Ableton Live. Is there any other alternatives that are compatible with Linux?

I am trying to do similar performance as the artist Ed Sheeran. Thank you

You could look at giada, it's pretty good for that kind of thing.

If you mean live looping with a loop pedal like in some Ed Sheeran youtube video, then sooperlooper is what you want.

This is an interesting program. I followed the instructions on their website and tried to install it, but for some reason its not popping up under my programs.

I'll try the SooperLooper as well, that one looks interesting as well. Thank you everyone for your suggestions. If you have more go ahead and post them. :)

@xtianstar12 I Like Luppp. It doesn't show up in my applications menu after installing either, but you can find it by doing a search for "luppp"

Sooperlooper is a really good program. Owen Pallett uses it professionally (albeit on a Mac, but still, same thing)
