Hello, recently joined after 14 years on reddit, not sure if anyone would recognise me but I was mildly active in Linux subreddits, especially /r/linuxaudio.
Is there any interest in creating a similar community here? I have started getting back into making music on Linux after a few years where my job took over my life.

IMO for now, post everything on this community itself as it is not that active. We can slowly diversify into niches but we first need to improve interaction.

Count me in.
Reddit was read-only for me and I'll confess I didn't even know there was a linuxaudio sub. I look at /r/linux and /r/linuxquestions daily and the occasional furtive peek into /r/linuxmasterrace. Also anything related to KDE, Mozilla, Matrix/Element and Proton are always worth a read.

I used to be subscribed there and even posted sometimes and yeah I would be interested into having a Linux audio community here.

I'm interested! I have a multiseat machine set up for my kids. Everything works great except the first one to log in grabs control of the single sound card and gets all the sound. I figure there is a way to set up pipewire so that they each have their own sound, but I haven't figured it out yet. (The machine is running Arch, the seats are set up through loginctl, and I'm using Weston and drm-lease-manager to split the single graphics card.)

I'd be interested in following a linuxaudio community. Want to maybe run Reaper under Linux and get out from under Micro$oft.

I used to lurk there and would be interested. I'm also just getting back in to recording whenever I get a spare moment

Got any music you can share?

Not at the moment, I did a fresh install of AV Linux about 2 weeks ago and just in the process of setting up all the tools, vsts and testing out a workflow. Currently have a mix of reaper and renoise and trying to resist the urge to download every vst known to man
christophski@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 3y
I looove renoise! What vsts do you use on Linux?
LoopDigger@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 3y
I'm still exploring what's out there for eqs etc. I tend to use the stock Reaper ones but I'm enjoying using Surge synth and drumgizmo at the moment.

It's not VST but the CALF plugins are just fantastic and completely free
LoopDigger@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 3y
I think those might have been bundled with the distro. I'll have to give them a look, thanks for the suggestion!
christophski@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 3y
I just love the reverb, can't stop using it on everything
marv99@feddit.de · 1 pts · 3y
Although I am a (making music) noob I would be interested in this, too
christophski@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 3y
Nice! Have you got anything you can share?

Sir_mittens2@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
maybe keep it here for now until the userbase is higher if youre already gonna split now its not gonna be very active i think
matogoro@lemmy.sdf.org · 0 pts · 3y
Please. I need help with setting up Pipewire for bit-perfect audio!
christophski@feddit.uk · 1 pts · 3y
Not sure I can help with that, haven't used pipewire yet - just Pulseaudio and JACK
