I’m glad the option is available, but I still suggest people try using Reaper over Studio One. More powerful and more affordable.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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
