For those of you interested in #linuxaudio and reading this you might also have heard of https://linuxdaw.org

A site giving an overview over quality audio software available for linux.

Not too long ago a user made a very nice contribution by setting up a mastadon bot that posts new additions (based on the RSS feed).

You can follow the bot here:
@linuxdaw
to get notified when apps are added.

Shoutout to @icaria36 for setting this up! Thanks buddy :)

This is pretty awesome!

Ternär Music Flechtwerk implemented the open source project Mutable Instruments Plaits as a CLAP/VST3

Added it to #linuxdaw now ofc :)

This was my first decent, proper go at @ardour on #UbuntuStudio
...its just a dirge of effected guitar jamming through the Line 6 Helix. Now what is weird is how the Helix isnt class compliant (as far as I know) ..which means someone with the UbStu developers is using the Helix.

Anyway, nearly 7 minutes of me making a fool of myself on the Palm Bay.

I came across this new video about an open source synth that works on Linux:

UltraSynth
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqvbxPD2JHQ

https://ryukau.github.io/VSTPlugins/manual/UltraSynth/UltraSynth_en.html

Then I checked the developers' website and... there is plenty of stuff there! I haven't tried anything but it seems they are not listed on LinuxDaw.

https://ryukau.github.io/VSTPlugins/index.html

Their blog looks hardcore dev, but I have no clue: https://ryukau.blogspot.com

Anyway, in case this is interesting to someone.

Just added #blepfx filtrr plugin to #linuxdaw

It looks really cool and has some unique features.

Big update on https://linuxdaw.org

User contribution is now easier than ever!

When mouse hovers over a plugin/app, an edit icon appears in the upper left corner. Press this takes you to a page where you can suggest edits to the data.

In the burger menu there is now a new item [Add plugin/app] which takes you to a page where you can suggest new plugins/apps.

Take a look at the attached screenshots.

Contributions are most welcome, don't be afraid :)

Cheers!

@tildesounds recently shared a list of favorite plugins.I went through it, checked which ones are Linux-compatible, and then which of those were missing in https://linuxdaw.org. And found these, in case you are interested:

filtrr - https://fx.amee.ee/plugin/filtrr/

Audiostellar - https://audiostellar.xyz/

Rolling Sample - https://www.birdsthings.com

Blockhead (ok, it's a private alpha) - https://www.patreon.com/colugomusic

I've recently done some minor tweaks on linuxdaw.org here and there.

Today I added a "Compact" toggle, which allows for a more compact view if you just wanna focus on the screenshots.

The #linuxdaw library continues to grow, reflecting the development of #linuxaudio as a platform. Not only is the range of native #linux #plugin (s) growing, but also the maturity of #pipewire and #linuxdesktop itself. Truly amazing times for #musicproduction with this popular #opensource #operatingsystem.

PD: @alf Nice addition with the #clap, #lv2, #vst, etc. icons!

@edsu Hi! I have volunteered to create a bot account to post https://linuxdaw.org RSS feed as toots. I see you have created https://github.com/edsu/feediverse and this question might sound odd but... is it good? I mean, is it stable?

Years ago I used #feed2toot and it was fine. I have also tried https://feedsin.space/ but we want to publish from our own account. Happy to try #feediverse but since you're here I thought I'd ask first.

You get one wish.

..but a very spesific one.

You get any audio/music software (currently only available for Win/Mac) ported to Linux.

Which would you choose?

The filter on https://linuxdaw.org has been really ugly on anything but desktop resolution, and it's been bugging me since the beginning.

Well, I finally sat down a couple of evenings and now finally it's responsive and mobile friendly!

Just deployed. Let me know if anything's off :)

Ich muß zugeben, ich hatte mich dieses Jahr noch nicht mit den Inhalten der #easterhegg auseinandergesetzt. Der #Vortrag von Lucy zu den Vorteilen von #pipewire gegenüber #pulseaudio gefällt mir super.

Habt ihr noch weitere Tipps zu interessanten #techalks von der #eh21? Immer her damit!

Today https://linuxdaw.org turned 1 year old, happy birthday :)

So I thought it was mature enough to mention on #hackernews and it climbed up to the second spot for a short while. 10 seconds of fame ;)

Next feature I'm working on (cause it's something I need) is the ability to create "lists" or "collections".

While testing plugins, which I do all the time, it's nice to "bookmark" the ones I feel I really wanna use.
