Interesting article about "The Modern Foundations of Bitwig Studio": https://www.bitwig.com/modern-foundations/ #daw #linuxaudio #bitwig

Zrythm v2.0.0-alpha.2 is out! New in this release: chord assistance (pad, editor, suggestions), musical mode with offline time-stretching, and new arranger tools (pencil, eraser, cut, ramp, audition). Plus lots of fixes. Alpha quality: missing features, expect bugs. Details and forum discussion: https://forum.zrythm.org/t/zrythm-v2-0-0-alpha-2-released #Zrythm #DAW #FreeSoftware #audio

There's a new #linuxaudio #daw: Sandyne. One interesting feature is certainly the built-in visual mixer. Another notable feature is the ability to access the DAW remotely via a web browser. https://sandyne.com/

Would someone like to build a single-fader MIDI controller for me, a bedbound composer? Preferably someone within Europe (shipping to Austria). I would like to pay cash money for something lightweight enough that I can use double-sided velcro-tape to attach it to my custom-made bed-desk (which sits upright at about 60-70 degrees). Must be: small and light Mac-compatible pre-programmed for CC#1 USB-C or Bluetooth Fader please, not a knob or wheel #Music #StudioEquipment #DAW #Accessibility #Recording #DIY #DIYtech #Musicians #Composer

Open source doesn't mean developers don't need funding—it just means they're using a different business model, like Ardour.

Okay, so I'm making #ElectronicMusic and as with every #hobby, there's an expense and thousands of companies vying for your hard earned cash. You can absolutely argue that #AudioPlugins are an extremely frivolous thing to buy because stock #DAW devices are so good these days and I'd agree with you, especially (for me) in the case of #Bitwig Studio 6.1. That said, they don't cover every eventuality and there is probably a plugin for exactly that. Outside of the DAW there's a massive headache waiting for anyone who has more than a small handful of plugins. I've somehow amassed about 670+ of the buggers and that *IS* ridiculous. Imagine keeping them all up-to-date manually. Yeah, that. There's a myriad of ways, branded managers and installers, direct downloads, and even manually dropping files into folders. This is a nightmare and there really hasn't been an app that attempts to at least make this problem easier to manage. Enter: #PluginHub https://www.pluginhubapp.com I caught this app on a random YouTube recommendation and saw an interview with the developer, Zach. The app seemed like a no brainer for me, so I installed it and when the demos had run, I instabought it for the very reasonable $29.99 for a two seat (!) licence. Zach offers very generous options for for studios, education, etc. The aim of the app is to catalogue your plugins and flag any that need updating and helps you get those updates done by pointing you to the sites, downloaders and managers you need to use in order to keep your stuff up-to-date. Obviously not every brand and plugin is covered here and that is one of the things Zach is actively working on with plugin companies themselves. It is basically a very neatly laid out plugin database and version comparator. Simple idea, not so simple in execution. Cat herding would be more rewarding, I'm sure! The app is new and has some minor bugs, but nothing major and nothing that makes it not useful in the extreme, day one. I chatted with Zach back and forth over email regarding a bug I was experiencing, not so much a fault of PluginHub, but a slightly botched update by a vendor's updater app itself! He is super happy to hear about bugs and issues, is very responsive and friendly to boot. He is actively working on the app for #macOS exclusively at the moment (SORRY!) but a #Windows version is in the pipeline with #Linux under consideration. Anyways, not an ad lol, just a very happy and excited user, knowing this will be useful for many #Musodon peeps recording in the box, using plugins. #ElectronicMusic #Music @electronicmusic@fedigroups.social #Ableton #AbletonLive #Reaper #LogicPro #ReasonStudios #VST #VSTs #VST3 #CLAP #AAX #FenderStudioPro #FLStudio #ProTools #Cubase #Audio #Studio

Technical question: is there any #audio editor, #DAW, or similar that renders a #waveform by using path-based rendering? For example, is there any software that reads audio data and creates a path from it? I've long had the idea to experiment with using paths in the rendering of a waveform on screen, mainly because I'd be interested in such a thing. Maybe if I can come up with some experimental code to look at such then I will share that here 👀
