Wow, didn’t expect a company like ProSonus to do something like this, this is a big deal! Tbh hadn’t heard of Studio One but Linux is getting noticed in the audio world, this is a great sign. You can claw Ardour from my cold dead hands but it’s always great to see more software brought to Linux and always up for trying a new DAW.
I’m a Bitwig fanboy 4 life. This DAW blows me away and it being on Linux was one of the main reasons for me to leave Windows.
Similar situation, except with Reaper. All my shit works better, to a hilarious degree
Same with Renoise =)
Love renoise, there hasn’t been much in the way of releases in the past 5 years or so though
Damn. This is basically one of 2 reasons I still dual boot. My Studio One 5 install and FiveM. Gave me one less reason to keep Windows around.
Unfortunately most plugins don’t work on linux though. Hopefully that will change too. Bitwig is another amazing DAW that does have a linux version. You can even install it via flathub!
I had very good experiences with yabdrige actually
Reaper is another great DAW with a Linux version
Make sure to keep an eye on Linux DAW.
Perhaps a WINE plugin can be made, like LMMS has?
Yabridge
Me too. I’m looking forward to giving this Linux release a spin!
I like Reaper and LMMS personally but more competition is always good.
Is LMMS really functional? I thought only Ardour could be used for serious audio production on the FOSS world.
Of course there’s still Reaper and Bitwig, but those are not FOSS.
I mean it’s not the most powerful DAW out there but it was fine for what I was doing.
Doooope
This is amazing news! I just hope they add all the currently missing features so that the Linux version will be on par with the other platforms they support. When I read the release notes it sounded more like an alpha than a beta version.
What’s with all the people here simping for proprietary software? Have you learned nothing while switching to Linux? What’s the reason you switched away from Windows or Mac in the first place? You could’ve very well stayed there if you don’t care about the FOSS philosophy and it’s advantages.
Not everyone is a FOSS maximalist.
Imo multi-billion dollar companies are the big problem, because they often have monopolies and will use them to push crap down our throats. Much smaller companies can still offer good software and support, and they are sometimes the only viable option. I’d prefer it if everything was open-source of course, but that’s just not how the world works right now.
For me, the base OS must remain free (at least mostly), the software can be proprietary.
It’s easy to move to different software, it’s difficult to switch platforms. You need a platform you know you can trust.
I’m on Linux because I like the experience and the control the base OS gives me. I still need my tools to make me money, and I pay for plenty of software that makes my life just a little bit easier so I can turn in work quicker and make a profit faster. Business expense.
Can we ban posts promoting the use of proprietary software?
Yeah, people don’t realize that just because a software is available for Linux, it isn’t acceptable that it’s proprietary.
I don’t care what other people uses, but posts promoting it shouldn’t be allowed in a Linux community.
I think that’s ridiculous. I vastly prefer FOSS and so I won’t use this, but clearly professional software being ported to Linux is a big deal for Linux and its userbase.
Should we ban discussion about any distro that’s not certified by the FSF? Should we ban news about proprietary Nvidia drivers?
From the same people jerking themselves off over steam being on Linux.
I don’t want any of your proprietary software on my system.
Don’t install it then - easy!
I can’t argue with that
Well, you’ve got Ardour. But I suspect that there are people who do want this software package.
