![]() ![]() I love Linux and everything Open Source and I love music just as much and is a bit disappointed to realize that my skills and needs can't combine both at this particular point in time. If networked audio by Jack is doable without too much fuss I'll keep a Linux DAW in the chain and use Tracktion there as a mixer for tracks from the Win DAWs to be added to videos edited in Kdenlive. I'm aware of most of the great Linux software and plugins but I've had a Jack'ed up Win 7 running Bitwig, Ableton and Tracktion smoothly before and decided to keep any OS tinkering and Linux learning away from the music room and time. I expect to keep using Tracktion as multitrack sequencer (due to blazing fast workflow mostly) and a combo of Ableton Link, rewire and MIDI clock to sync all when needed. Any budget excess is allocated to hardware, lessons and instruments.Īnd tools like M-Audios MIDI controller surface editor, a Playstation 3 controller to MIDI translator, Blackstar amp patch editor are hardly worth any WINE or VM or dual boot hassle. ![]() Gonna strip Win 7 down before MS freezes it and then just keep using it only as a DAW stuck on the currently installed versions until quantum computing makes audio virtual machining and containers a breeze, ca. If I had a full Bitwig Studio license I'd go all in on Linux but for now it's Reason Lite 10, Ableton Lite 9 and 8, Bitwig 8-track and some Win only guitar amp modellers and fx and VST instruments. ![]() But a quick line up of wants and needs against current budget and licenses made me realize I'm kind of stuck on Windows. Initial approach was to setup an old Win 7 laptop and Jack network a few apps only to a Linux DAW with Bitwig as mothership for loop recording and Tracktion or Ardour as traditional sequencers and hosts for any mixing and mastering. So this is a bit of a downer to share among all the great inspiration and research here but I decided to come clean anyway.įeel free to debunk my assumptions and signal pathsġ) Live looping bits and pieces written on guitar and keys and index them on disk for easy remixing and editingĢ) Fiddling with virtual instruments and explore new sounds and fx techniquesģ) Record demo, lesson, practise tracks and videos.Ĥ) Occasionally lay down some tracks on collaborators projects.ĥ) Rarely produce sheet music and tabs for a few songs ![]()
