daws for linux that don't suck ass to use

are there any? i can't find anything other than old-school trackers that are actually functional and don't give me an insane amount of issues

REAPER is great. Can use linux vst, vst3, and there are plugins that allow windows vsts.

I recently encountered a modern-ish looking DAW that supposedly had good linux support. I believe it was called Zrythm. Check it out if you want. I myself just use Renoise anyway so I don't need anything else

lmms is kinda schway for what it is, although it's sort of a rough transition coming from FL Studio in my case. Still, give it a try.

>>10455 Seconding Reaper, with yabridge to easily use windows vsts with wine.

>>10454 Bitwig has Ableton-ish workflows while having native support on Linux. Might be your best bet outside a VM/dual-boot.

>FL Studio shouldn't give any problems and performs like it should in wine

>>10515 I second Bitwig. Been using Bitwig for about 5 years now. It costs, but the quality is nice and support is really good. A few years ago I came across a bug and the devs worked with me and even provided a beta build to test.

>>10454 Just use bottles. I can run FL Studio flawlessly on Linux Mint and record with my Scarlett 212. The only con would be that some plugins and vsts are a bit of a pain to get running.

Has anyone ever used rosegarden? It seems pretty cool and could be good when you have a solid workflow on it but was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on it.

>>10455 >>10500 >allow windows vsts. How's your experience with it? I would like to switch to Linux and having a good VST experience holds me back. >>10454 >Reaper Works great. It's my goto default-vst- >Ardour Is free on Linux (so you can dab on win users like me). I have never used it, and I don't really feel the need to pirate it to try it myself. I just falsely assume it's probably like Reaper >LMMS I tried it and was fun >Bitwig Trying it out now, is great and yes, it does have some nice Ableton-esqe workflow >Sunvox While you did mention using trackers suck, Sunvox is still a fun tool. Plus, I gave at one vote for a new program, and backing for other programs, so this balances out. Anyways, you basically make the synths from scratch, which allow for fun ideas, such as creating two synths that use two of the same oscillator, and a different based oscillator, allowing them to sound similar yet different >Renoise Like >>10497 said, it's good program. I can give it a vote for

>>10522 >FL Studio shouldn't give any problems and performs like it should in wine I can second this, as long as you're using mostly stock plugins it works flawlessly and should support some vsts and effects though if you're having trouble it might be worth setting up a dual boot partition just for windows to house production software, peppermint has a neat boot loader thing that lets you select partitions or even separate drives to boot from so its not all that annoying to use

Renoise isn't perfect, and is sort of geared towards producers working on breakcore/jungle/chiptunes/other tracker-based genres, but is definitely extremely usable on Linux and wins points for being the most cyber-looking DAW by far.

>>10454 reaper is amazing and what i use

>>10454 https://sevish.com/category/linux/ The artist Sevish has a lot of resources on this topic you may want to check out

>>10729 >is sort of geared towards producers working on breakcore/jungle/chiptunes I don't understand why people say this, you can make any other genre just as well, what is it with renoise that makes it better for jungle?

Hey lains, hope it's ok to post a quick semi-related question here - I don't want to kill a thread. Do any of you know how to get mpv's audio compressor working properly? Whatever settings I try either produce no noticeable effect or destroy the sound quality.

whats the best daws in term of stock plugins , i have only tried lmms so far ,triple oscillator is like kicking dead whales down the beach ass

>>10930 Bitwig hands down. It has nice-sounding native devices similar to Ableton, and they use relatively little CPU—at least the basic ones—but the latest version also has some beefy spectral shaping stuff. Bitwig is designed to be modular so you can modulate almost any parameter of any plugin with things like stock LFOs and randomness generators. On top of that, you can create your own synths and effects with the Grid, a virtual modular sketchpad that is similar to the defunct Nord Modular graphic environments. That said, for this purpose, you can also use PlugData in any DAW, which is a fork of PureData that can be used as a VST3 or LV2 plugin and can go at even a lower level—pic related, it's a silly idea for a sequencer I had today, but it doesn't work so I need to find another approach—or VCVRack. The effects of Renoise aren't as awesome, but they are still very good and a lot of parameters can be modulated in a similar way to Bitwig. Renoise is great because of its chirurgical integrated sampler, which can be used as a wavetable synth for example, and the tracker interface pushes you to compose differently, also a legit license for it is much cheaper than for Bitwig. It's worth messing around with the demo, you can even use it with JACK, and in the full version there is a Lua engine for the wizards out there. Reaper and Ardour are great for more traditional recording, like tracking bands. Reaper is very customizable (GUI skins, integrated scripting lang for audio effects, surround, ...) and Ardour is solid free software. That said, they don't have the best stock plugins. Sunvox is modular, so you can come up with pretty cool sounds, but I never really got into it, it's more for tablets. LMMS is a very basic clone of FL Studio, at least when I tried it a decade ago, I would rather use Ardour at this point if I wanted to go full free software. If you are hardcore, you can make your own quality effects with Supercollider and some JACK routing or the JUCE C++ framework.

>>10823 NTA. >what is it with renoise that makes it better for jungle? At the end of the day, it's completely subjective, but personally, when I started getting used to the Renoise/tracker workflow (coming from more "traditional" DAWs like Ableton Live and FL Studio), I quickly noticed how easy it is to chop breaks and samples in general, which is basically the crux of jungle, footwork, breakcore, gabber, DnB and other similar genres. Sure, you can do similar things in most other DAWs (FL Studio's slicex is an example), but it's just not as "efficient", if that makes sense. Again, completely subjective, it just comes down to personal preference. >I don't understand why people say this, you can make any other genre just as well Same. If you browse the Renoise forums enough, you'll see people making ambient music, hip-hop beats, literally any kind of music. Renoise, like every DAW, is just a tool, and what it can actually do is determined by the user. >>10930 Ableton's and Renoise's stock plugins are by far my favorite ones.
