I’m glad the option is available, but I still suggest people try using Reaper over Studio One. More powerful and more affordable.
Yes I also suggest Ardour over other DAWs. :-]
Im really very much just doing music production as a hobby, but even then ardour has some annoyances that make me look for an alternative
I’ve been using Ableton for 3 years and nobody has mentioned it yet. I got the 90 trial of the Suite edition and haven’t looked back.
Ableton doesnt have a linux version right?
It does (Ableton’s Push runs Live on Linux) but unfortunately it is not available to the public yet.
I would literally have no reason to stay on mac/windows if Ableton/max released Linux versions
Same, the entire reason I’m still using Windows is for Max
I use reaper day in and day out for sound design and composition. It truly is more customizable and powerful than any other DAW in a few ways. That being said, Studio One smokes reaper in its weakest area…midi (e.g piano roll, expression maps , etc)
I still recommend Reaper because it’s so accessible and powerful. Just hope Cockos invest in midi feature like Cubase and Studio One have.
Reaper is indeed amazing. For electronic music and sound design, I’d say studio one has some advantages though. The absolute champion for that is Bitwig, which also works on linux and seems to be very underrated in general!
Probably unpopular, but I really like Studio One. Reaper is more powerful, and I love it too, but there’s something about Studio One that just let me wrap my brain around it the first time I used it. For me, it’s great for quick and dirty production which is a lot of what I do and “just works” with my interface and mixing console.
Of course that’s not the case for everyone and a lot of folks want and need something with more to it.
I just want to know how to add free virtual instruments in Reaper. Also, I have a bug that persisted over Linux installations where when taking MIDI input from my musical keyboard, Reaper would detect the first note I played, but it wouldn’t detect that I stopped playing it, and it wouldn’t detect any new notes until like 10 seconds later. I have a MIDI cable plugged directly into a USB port of my computer, so if you could help that would be appreciated.
https://yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=jeYa__ATQDc for adding virtual instruments (VST, LV2, CLAP). I recommend Surge XT as a great free synth. Windows VSTs need something like yabridge to wrap wine and the plugin.
Not sure about your bug, but try using pipewire & the jack interface with reaper. Ping me if you need more assistance.
Wow, didn’t expect a company like ProSonus to do something like this, this is a big deal! Tbh hadn’t heard of Studio One but Linux is getting noticed in the audio world, this is a great sign. You can claw Ardour from my cold dead hands but it’s always great to see more software brought to Linux and always up for trying a new DAW.
I’m a Bitwig fanboy 4 life. This DAW blows me away and it being on Linux was one of the main reasons for me to leave Windows.
Similar situation, except with Reaper. All my shit works better, to a hilarious degree
Same with Renoise =)
Love renoise, there hasn’t been much in the way of releases in the past 5 years or so though
Damn. This is basically one of 2 reasons I still dual boot. My Studio One 5 install and FiveM. Gave me one less reason to keep Windows around.
Unfortunately most plugins don’t work on linux though. Hopefully that will change too. Bitwig is another amazing DAW that does have a linux version. You can even install it via flathub!
I had very good experiences with yabdrige actually
Reaper is another great DAW with a Linux version
Make sure to keep an eye on Linux DAW.
Perhaps a WINE plugin can be made, like LMMS has?
Yabridge
Me too. I’m looking forward to giving this Linux release a spin!
I like Reaper and LMMS personally but more competition is always good.
Is LMMS really functional? I thought only Ardour could be used for serious audio production on the FOSS world.
Of course there’s still Reaper and Bitwig, but those are not FOSS.
Also Renoise (also not FOSS,. but good)
I mean it’s not the most powerful DAW out there but it was fine for what I was doing.
Doooope
This is amazing news! I just hope they add all the currently missing features so that the Linux version will be on par with the other platforms they support. When I read the release notes it sounded more like an alpha than a beta version.
Can we ban posts promoting the use of proprietary software?
Yeah, people don’t realize that just because a software is available for Linux, it isn’t acceptable that it’s proprietary.
I don’t care what other people uses, but posts promoting it shouldn’t be allowed in a Linux community.
I think that’s ridiculous. I vastly prefer FOSS and so I won’t use this, but clearly professional software being ported to Linux is a big deal for Linux and its userbase.
Should we ban discussion about any distro that’s not certified by the FSF? Should we ban news about proprietary Nvidia drivers?
From the same people jerking themselves off over steam being on Linux.
I don’t want any of your proprietary software on my system.
Don’t install it then - easy!
I can’t argue with that
Well, you’ve got Ardour. But I suspect that there are people who do want this software package.
