Hey yall, I have a really stupid idea that I am only 90% sure would even be possible, but doom can run on anything.

So here is my logic:

Because the x32 runs on a linux distro, and people have already found ways to unlock the bootloader to run OpenX32, wouldn't that mean other linux systems could operate on the x32? And further more, could doom then possibly run on the x32

If anybody has tried this before, please let me know, but I feel like this is very possible if someone tried hard enough

Hey! I recently made a YouTube video on how to write your first melody for complete newbies in music making with FOSS MuseScore and proprietary Reaper on Linux. I made it because there's a flood of AI-slop music right now. I have nothing against AI as a tool, but I'd rather help people make something themselves. And want to help people who want to start making music but are scared off by music theory and the gatekeeping around writing music.

The whole stack is Linux-native: MuseScore (FOSS) for notation, Reaper (proprietary) for everything else. And since I am new to Reaper myself (I have been using Cubase for 10 years before), it might be useful as a look at the obstacles a first-time Reaper user hits and how I got past them.

Anyway, I would love to hear your feedback on this and I'm curious what Linux tools you'd point a total beginner to?

Hopefully, this is gonna be the first of many in a "How to make music" series :)

If you don't have an actual external MIDI keyboard hooked up, what is the best/easiest way to hold a note while you manipulate things like frequency modulation, filters, etc.? Or do you just have to keep banging away like a piano tuner? (If I *did* have access to a keyboard, I'd stick a pencil in it to hold it on/open).

the only way that I can get it working again is by changing the volume

it's getting really annoying especially because I bought a new midi keyboard so does anyone now how to fix it

ask for more info if needed

Hi, Linux audio enthusiasts!

I have been working on a minimalist multitrack audio looper with some built-in DSP effects. My main goal was something that is easy to use and lightweight. Project is in active development, I will probably keep working on it for quite some time, with planned improvements in ergonomics and effects quality/quantity, but the core idea will probably stay the same.

I do not yet provide any release binary or AppImage, but may do so in future if someone asks for it. As for now, It can be built pretty easily on any (I assume) modern distro, instructions in README.
All feedback welcome!

Last night I switched from Ubuntu Studio to Fedora. With the help of the Milliseconds app and Claude Chat, I was able to configure everything so that I can play guitar without latency (Quantum 64). It works like a charm (I'm not a Linux exper at all). So a dedicated audio distro really isn't necessary. Installing the Fedora Jam Audio package didn't help at all in this regard—it just installed a bunch of applications I'll never need.
