After what feels like an age I opened up my DAW again to make some tunes.
Turns out lot of my old Windows VST GUIs don't work - which is fine as I have alternatives for most that are Linux native.
What I'm missing is a good synth, I used to use Massive a lot years ago and while I have SurgeXT and Vital now I'm lacking the huge amount of presets I had for massive.
Anyone able to point me to some good synths for Linux? Or somewhere to get more presets?
You know what doesn’t care about your OS?
Samples. Simple straight wav files.
Yes, I’m looking at you Vinyl SP From Mars: https://samplesfrommars.com/products/vinyl-sp-from-mars
To be honest I have bought way too many plugins through the years, and I rarely bought just one plugin at the time, but always some kind of bundle on sale.
I turns out, that this is actually an advantage when you move to Linux, since Yabridge/Wine have a tendency to make some - but not all - plugins working. Because of my collection, if one comp./verb/channelstrip isn't working, I move on to the next, and in the end I have what I need.
I could really use a Linux Native alternative to FilterFreak and the Arturia Filters. Filter-preset-scrollng is my number one "I'm stuck in a production" method, and it always works. And while I have both FilterFreak and the Arturia plugins running, and FilterFreak is running super stable - I could use Linux Native alternatives (or guides to browse filter-presets in Bitwig).
Any good suggestions?

Searching for #Linux RSS recommendations
Do you have an RSS-feed you can recommend for getting general Linux-related news?
I'm also interested in #LinuxAudio specific feeds if there is any out there.
We've just released Adour 9.0 with pianoroll windows, cue recording and editing, region effects, a realtime perceptual analyzer, mixer strips importing and exporting, various quality-of-life improvements, and many more changes

I'm the opposite of an early adopter, but what the #Ardour #DAW folks have put into version 9 released yesterday… it's a a huge leap for dawkind. 😅 Makes me want to upgrade.
The list of improvements is very long.
Hahahaahaa! I just send a message to Plugin Alliance's support, which just says "Hi".
The "helpful" robot on the website was completely convinced my line break was the sign it needed to send two letters in total.
We'll see if I get their attention.
Please remove these chatbots. They are really not helping anyone! All I want is the presets for Byome, that's it.

Oh SHIT! It's on, Bitwig. You've got an Ableton-like competitor in the #LinuxAudio space that is way better than you at normal audio recording, mixing, and editing.

Dear Hivemind, any distro suggestions for light #linuxaudio purposes?
Hardware: Thinkpad W530 + Scarlett 2i2 Software: Transcribe, Renoise and possibly Reaper
For a change I'd like to have something low maintenance that I can just power on and play bass 😎

@jeremy @lminiero @marquisdegeek really great talk, such a nice resource to have available for #LinuxAudio
Millisecond - which I could understand is build on your https://pypi.org/project/rtcqs/ - has been such a helpful tool for me, to get a better experience for music production on Linux.
Now I'll see if I can understand xruncounter.
Thanks a lot!
