Im going to do a full Linux audio setup with this drive, no ardour, we are using Reaper and OpenMPT. Hopefully fingers crossed I can get yabridge and the splice app working properly so I can use Serum. Instructions say I need wine staging.
@charlie_root @theorytoe @37712 Serum is an easy one. yabridge+wine-tkg (you need a github account). winetricks dxvk and gdiplus in your prefix.
Personally, I use a separate prefix for each manufacturer to allow me to roll backwards and forwards easily. Reaper is great. Dependent on what you are doing though (and budget) you might find utility in Bitwig. Also Studio One has just launched for linux. Thanks for the mention of openmpt.
Holy shit I'm bookmarking this! Is it the same for a splice account? I'm still financing the plugin through that service.
@charlie_root @theorytoe @37712 I don't know about splice. That's just for serum via xferrecords. You might not have the best luck with a subscription services. Serum is a great synth but there are lots of alternatives out there. If budget is important there are a bunch of Linux based synths that do a lot for little money. Bitwig is laden with synths, there's u-he, Surge XT, all the nakst synths. If you want something flexible like Serum, there's phaseplant, current and pigments using wine.
Im a big time Vital user too, but I am on the hook for Serum for $9.99 for the next 18 months through Splice and I plan on getting the lifetime license, I will pay it off. Surge is based and so is Odin 2.
@charlie_root @theorytoe @37712 Vital is a great synth worth paying for. It definitely gives Serum a run for it's money. I haven't tried Odin. Serum is a really nice synth and the other plugins at xferrecords are great.
@charlie_root @theorytoe @37712 Thanks for Odin 2, hadn't come across that.
Odin 2 is bonkers good, don't let anybody fool you that it's "chiptune only" nonsense I made a killer reese with it.

@charlie_root @theorytoe @37712 Good lists. Discodsp make some good synths as well. I've yet to find a good use for Amigo. It'll happen. You'll probably enjoy the u-he synths when you get to them. They have some good free ones but the paid ones are excellent. They've recently released Zebralette 3 as a beta and it's really nice and free. https://u-he.com/news/#zebralette-release
@charlie_root @theorytoe @37712 I have a lot of synths. The bitwig ones are great and especially useful if you're trying to learn sound design. I have a soft spot for the u-he synths. With wine, Arturia make a great range. Probably the most useful plugin I have is pianoteq.

There are people here that care. We want this man to use Linux because it reinforces our decision to use Linux and because we want what's best for him. Then there are people like you that would better serve society washing balls for us enlightened folk.
Goodnight brother sleep well
BTW my 8 year old shocked me with his punches today, its crazy the natural strength that God gives males, this boy is 8 and he's already able to whomp on most his age. I was even feeling the heat when I let him go at it punching me in the torso.
He took a kick at my shin and got humbled really quick because I have iron leg bones (I'm 6'3" ffs).
Hope you got him boxing gloves
Couldn't find it so here's a t shirt
I couldn't give two shits what you think. Maybe you should just block me and take your negative vibes somewhere else!
