Hello, recently joined after 14 years on reddit, not sure if anyone would recognise me but I was mildly active in Linux subreddits, especially /r/linuxaudio.

Is there any interest in creating a similar community here? I have started getting back into making music on Linux after a few years where my job took over my life.

Edit: Please check out: https://waveform.social/c/linuxaudio and let me know if you want to join in moderation

    IMO for now, post everything on this community itself as it is not that active. We can slowly diversify into niches but we first need to improve interaction.

      That’s a pretty good point! Might think about starting one at some point, however I think the instance I joined is not an appropriate place for it

    I used to lurk there and would be interested. I’m also just getting back in to recording whenever I get a spare moment

    Count me in.

    Reddit was read-only for me and I’ll confess I didn’t even know there was a linuxaudio sub. I look at /r/linux and /r/linuxquestions daily and the occasional furtive peek into /r/linuxmasterrace. Also anything related to KDE, Mozilla, Matrix/Element and Proton are always worth a read.

    I’d be interested in following a linuxaudio community. Want to maybe run Reaper under Linux and get out from under Micro$oft.

    I used to be subscribed there and even posted sometimes and yeah I would be interested into having a Linux audio community here.

        Unfortunately not much, I have almost no clue on making music (but know Linux and its software quite well).

        The best I have achieved for now is fully (dis)assembled and mechanically repaired hanging keys on a good old Korg M1, connected it with MIDI (via USB) and played a bit around with it from my Linux box. Assume that pictures of a disassembled Korg are not of interest in the context of Linux audio ;)

        Software used on Linux was amidi (with SysEx) to dump and restore sounds-banks etc, and aplaymidi to play midi on the Korg. Both worked perfectly fine. On the other hand have no results yet with Rosegarden (and other software).

        Maybe my (short) notes about how to do things with amidi and aplaymidi can be bit of interest in a Linux audio community.

        (I also own a cheap drumset(?) from Aldi wich surprisingly had Midi. But could not experiment much with it yet … cause of real life taking the time)

    I’m interested! I have a multiseat machine set up for my kids. Everything works great except the first one to log in grabs control of the single sound card and gets all the sound. I figure there is a way to set up pipewire so that they each have their own sound, but I haven’t figured it out yet. (The machine is running Arch, the seats are set up through loginctl, and I’m using Weston and drm-lease-manager to split the single graphics card.)
