#LinuxAudio for musicians be like:

Aaah I found this cool sound in my #Waldorf #Rocket #Synthesizer, it uses the #Arpeggiator.

Now I want to try a beat with it. Oh there is #Hydrogen #DrumSampler on my #Linux system!

Oh *beep*, most drum kits don't work and I don't know why but I don't wont to figure that out now.

Managed to patch Hydrogen MIDI to my outboard synthesizer. Now how to send MIDI Clock? Oh Hydrogen cannot send MIDI clock.

I need jack_midi_clock to get MIDI Clock from the general Jack Transport. Installing.

Okay now I'm in GMIDImonitor to find out the jack_midi_clock does not send any MIDI Clock, at least not on my system of #Pipewire + #Jack. Or perhaps it does but I can't see, since the synth's arpeggiator stops when transport plays and continues playing when transport stops.

This is getting weird.

Now I have lost my idea for the drum pattern, so I'm giving up on making music for today. Time is very limited anyways.

Linux Audio wizards!

I have two sound cards:

One internal to the computer that sends sounds out through my monitor which I use for day to day beeps and boops - alerts! The volume is nice I ilke it!

One external for music from a specific application.

The problem is, when I have the audio set up to the external sound card, all the notifications go through it too - argh!!

Got it: pavucontrol! ✅

All sorted 👍

Thank you! 🙏

Linux DAWLinux DAWQuality audio software for Linux Audio Production such as LV2, VST2, VST3, and CLAP effects, synthesizers and sampler plugins.

Recently #linux #CachyOS jumped to the no.1 spot on distrowatch.

I've followed this distro with slight curiosity for a while, their big selling point being #performance which is always nice.

..and a mighty good argument using it for #linuxaudio

Does someone have experience with this distro, spesifically used for audio / music production ?

I gotta admit, it sure looks tempting!

They ship custom kernel builds. One of them is targeting AMD Zen 4 which I have, so yea... exciting
