linux DAWs

I used to use fl studio when I still used windows. I tried running it with wine, but I ran into some issues. What are some linux compatible DAWs?(USER WAS WARNED FOR THIS POST, Please elaborate in your opening post in future, please elaborate on your usecase and your workflow, and what else you have tried or need from a DAW and why you asked the question you did and your own answers to the that question. You should always elaborate on your opinions rather than just spilling the soykaf.)

>>3374 I have used several DAWS on Linux including Ardour https://ardour.org/ Open Source Audactiy https://www.audacityteam.org/ (not a full DAW) Open source LMMS https://lmms.io/ Open source Other DAWS on Linux include Qtractor https://qtractor.sourceforge.io Open Source Tracktion T7 https://www.tracktion.com/products/t7-daw Proprietary but free Harrison MixBus https://harrisonconsoles.com/site/mixbus.html Proprietary but free demo (freemium) Is based on Ardour Renoise https://www.renoise.com/ Proprietary Bitwig Studio https://www.bitwig.com/en/bitwig-studio.html Proprietary Reaper http://www.reaper.fm/download.php Proprietary See the following resources for more details https://wiki.linuxaudio.org/apps/daw_apps https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_audio_software http://linux-sound.org/dp-lj-articles.html http://linux-sound.org/ https://lwn.net/Articles/509958/ https://lwn.net/Articles/510046/

Something to keep in mind is you don't necessarily need to have a DAW, you can have separate programs connected with some patch-bay programs with JACK, which is what I prefer to do. Although there are drawbacks, like session management and screen clutter when you have something a little more complex, but I wrap my head around it better

>>3376 is a very good selection, though it would help to know what in particular you are looking for from a DAW. LMMS is likely the most similair to FL Studio from what I remember, though I haven't used either in years now. I personally use Reaper (pics related), which is not free - though neither is FL Studio - but comes with a 60 day trial and is pretty cheap for a single license. It's very similair to Pro Tools; powerful, keeps out of your way, and can be used for a range of audio projects.

>>3377 Look into Claudia for session management if you haven't already, seems like you might find it useful: https://kx.studio/Applications:Claudia >NOTE: The KXStudio project is currently on a break, regular development is expected to return later in 2019. Thanks for understanding.

>>3376 Can you talk about your experience with them? Which did you like or dislike, and what about them?

>>3396 It haven't used them recently, and my use cases were pretty unorthodox, which is one of the reasons I didn't elaborate in my earlier posts, but since you asked. Audacity has been my bread and butter for audio editing , but I have never been a professional musician or an audiophile. I just did the occasional voice recording or digital audio composition for self composed songs both lyrical and instrumental. I also used it to normalize, edit and cleanup podcast recordings and audio blogs. I also helped others use it to convert from record player to MP3 or CD, following several internet published tutorials. I don't have a list of likes or dislikes of aspects of the software in particular, because not being an audiophile, I am not that picky. E.g. If I could find a resource to do something in Audacity, then I would do in it Audacity, and if the quality turned out ok, then I would use the result, if not then I would try using something else or going about solving the problem a different. This is different from most audiophiles or music production people I encounter, that baulk at the mention of open source software, and just want their Fruit Loops Studio or Ableton running on Linux because that is their one true music workflow and in their mind everything else is like kicking dead whales down the beach, regardless if they have the data to prove it or not. What I found useful about Audacity includes - It is cross platform (E.g. I can run it on Linux, and other people that had Windows could also use it) - I was able to record with it both using internal microphones of laptops and using external microphones of varying quality for desktop computers. Yes I know the audiophiles will scream about only using xyz high quality microphone, but that wasn't my usecase, and as far as I know Audacity works with that as well. - Audacity's documentation at https://manual.audacityteam.org/index.html and the various online tutorials on how to do things including audio analysis in Audacity. - I used the unlimited undo / redo and the automatic crash recovery feature, (if crashes happened they were normally because of some extension module or plugin that used too much memory on computers with limited memory space (<512MB ram). - Any of the issues I had when I last used Audacity are long since fixed, e.g. There is no longer an open bug against them in the Known Issues section of the wiki page. I used Ardour much less than I used Audacity, but it was mainly for assembling and adjusting things I had composed or generated sheet music for in Rosegarden, in order to mix and adjust multiple audio sources / samples with the already based MIDI generated audio from sequencers and Rosegarden. I don't really have any complaints about Ardour , but I didn't use it heavily and I didn't use all its advanced features. I found Ardour had a greater learning curve than Audacity, but as I said I used it when it had less functionality and I didn't find any absence of tutorial or learning materials for it. LMMS I only used LMMS two or three times, and only as an experiment, and I was using at much earlier version (given its first version was released in 2004, and I was using it in 2008). It did what I was looking for it to do, though I didn't find it as straightforward as Ardour at the time.

Zrythm Still in alpha but is by far the best DAW I have tried for messing with digital synths, other than that use LMMS, the 1.2.0 RC looks quite good. Audacity is not a DAW and does not try to be one, it is the best for editing already composed music or for making resources for your sounfdonts. Also for all audio editing on linux you may want to install and setup JACK
