I’m glad the option is available, but I still suggest people try using Reaper over Studio One. More powerful and more affordable.

I use reaper day in and day out for sound design and composition. It truly is more customizable and powerful than any other DAW in a few ways. That being said, Studio One smokes reaper in its weakest area…midi (e.g piano roll, expression maps , etc)
I still recommend Reaper because it’s so accessible and powerful. Just hope Cockos invest in midi feature like Cubase and Studio One have.

Reaper is indeed amazing. For electronic music and sound design, I’d say studio one has some advantages though. The absolute champion for that is Bitwig, which also works on linux and seems to be very underrated in general!

I just want to know how to add free virtual instruments in Reaper. Also, I have a bug that persisted over Linux installations where when taking MIDI input from my musical keyboard, Reaper would detect the first note I played, but it wouldn’t detect that I stopped playing it, and it wouldn’t detect any new notes until like 10 seconds later. I have a MIDI cable plugged directly into a USB port of my computer, so if you could help that would be appreciated.

yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=jeYa__ATQDc for adding virtual instruments (VST, LV2, CLAP). I recommend Surge XT as a great free synth. Windows VSTs need something like yabridge to wrap wine and the plugin.
Not sure about your bug, but try using pipewire & the jack interface with reaper. Ping me if you need more assistance.

Probably unpopular, but I really like Studio One. Reaper is more powerful, and I love it too, but there’s something about Studio One that just let me wrap my brain around it the first time I used it. For me, it’s great for quick and dirty production which is a lot of what I do and “just works” with my interface and mixing console.
Of course that’s not the case for everyone and a lot of folks want and need something with more to it.

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.

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!
Well, you've got Ardour. But I suspect that there are people who do want this software package.

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.

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.

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.
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?

I’ve been using Ableton for 3 years and nobody has mentioned it yet. I got the 90 trial of the Suite edition and haven’t looked back.
Ableton doesnt have a linux version right?
It does (Ableton’s Push runs Live on Linux) but unfortunately it is not available to the public yet.
I would literally have no reason to stay on mac/windows if Ableton/max released Linux versions
Same, the entire reason I’m still using Windows is for Max

Perhaps a WINE plugin can be made, like LMMS has?
Yabridge
Reaper is another great DAW with a Linux version
I had very good experiences with yabdrige actually
Make sure to keep an eye on Linux DAW.
Me too. I’m looking forward to giving this Linux release a spin!
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
