I’m a professional instrumentalist and I’ve begun tinkering with digital audio production , hoping to start a side career composing digital music.

I’ve been working with Linux in general for over 15 years, and I’d like to stick with it, but I’m wondering if its actually viable in the professional world. It seems like most professionals are working with Ableton or other commercial software. I’m learning and working with Ardour, which seems great, but I wonder if I shouldn’t be investing my time in software that will be more useful longterm.

Anyone here have thoughts/experience with this?

    All the tools are here for professional audio. You often find more than suitable lv2 plugins, hardware compatibly is solid, and some amazing DAW to choose from. I don’t see how you’d have any issue doing audio production with Linux.

    I’ve been recording music for year with Linux.
