Greetings from the left coast of America

Post by treehouse »

Been producing EDM on Windows for a long time, but Windows just keeps getting worse and Windows 11 was enough to scare me into looking for an alternative. Currently giving Ubuntu Studio a try.

Peace

Welcome here.
The disadvantage of Linux for audio is you don't have a everything but the kitchen sink installed and ready to run.

The advantage of Linux for audio is that you can develop exactly the workstation you want without any extraneous stuff soaking up resources :)

Some of these audio distros seem to include everything+kitchen sink, no? :mrgreen:

Welcome @treehouse! I'm a day's drive east of you, in the Mountain West. Linux has come a long way since I started using it ~20 years ago. I hope you find what you're looking for in Linuxland.

Welcome! And what @folderol said. :wink:

What DAW are you using? Do you already know what Jack Audio is and have you switched to using it yet?

Which Linux DAW? I have been trying all of them, have not settled on one yet.

Jack did not work for me when I first tried it. Based on advice I was given in a thread I started in the newbies subforum, apparently it's not necessary unless I have a use-case for connecting multiple standalone applications?

Nice! I've been meaning to take a road trip out that way, did not manage to do it before winter seemed to start a little early this year. Even LA has been cold and dark for most of November.
