#linuxmusic, #jack, #musicproduction

Since most of the world produces music on Windows and Mac, is Linux a viable alternative? Let’s explore what it can do, and also what it can’t.

I ramble in the woods, thinking about some great DAWs on Linux like Bitwig, Waveform, Mixbus and Ardour, and how fantastic JACK can be once you get the hang of it. I also talk about the idea of free and open source software, I contemplate why a person might choose Linux over MacOS or Windows, I consider the kind of person who loves Linux, and the kind that would hate it.

I forgot to mention WINE, which creates some kind of emulation layer so that you can install a lot of Windows software on your Linux machine. Maybe that’s a topic for another day.

If you want to see all of this software in action on Linux, keep an eye on this channel. I’ll be posting a series of videos very soon about Waveform 11. After that I’ll be taking a deep look at some of the other DAWs and awesome plugins that are available on Linux (back in the studio).

I’d love to hear your thoughts on all of this in the comment section below. Also, let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to see a video about here. I’ll do my very best to oblige.

Slán go fóil,

Bren.
