I always like this sort of post for the "tips" I get on plug-ins etc. Downloaded the free TAL NoiseMaker and PG-8X. :)

BTW Impressive setup w/ the 3 screens.

My current setup is:

OS: Linux Mint Cinnamon
Interface: Focusrite Solo
Akai MPK Mini
DAW: Reaper
VST's:

  • Overloud TH-U Guitar Amp & FX (installed via Bottles)
  • Uhe Hive Synths
  • Ugritone Drums

There's a Vox Adio Air amp which I use as output speakers, or as separate guitar amp

I've got an announcement for you. Today I finished a long planned song I was working on. It will be released on the 4th of January '25 on most streaming platforms.
I'll keep you posted about this new sonic adventure soon!
