I am glad to find this forum after so many years of macintosh,i chose to return to linux audio design and development after a recent success and jobs with Critter and Guitari [makers of Organelle -- a Pure Data box running arch linux 32 bit Atom Neon Processor] and Pisound a high end hat for raspberry pi. I develop original content for them in Pure Data, python. SuperCollider and a variety of effects [DSP/Faust & LADSPA]
I dove back into linux 64 bit on an extra machine with an SSD & 32GB of RAM, a Berenger FCA610 Firewire and to get it running properly with VCV rack i waspointed at kxstudios to solve my Alsa/pulse/Jack plugin/bridge issue which after a small donation and exploration led me here.
A little about me. I learned linux [irix really on an SGI 02 in 1995/6 for pure data & Cecilia and i was hooked. From there i went the Redhat, Fedora -->Debian route and have recently been using Ubuntu for my development but raspberry pi [Debian Stretch] and Arch as well.
I am very comfortable in a linux environment and at one point with the help of Dave Phillips had almost all the software on the famous linux-sound page working. I even had jMax working at one point before i got a fancy mac and started learning Max-Msp.
I teach Interactive Media, Projection Design and Audio Design for games and applications @ the University of Connecticut, Stamford Campus and i am glad to be here!
