I have tested the Open Apollo driver on my Apollo Twin X and Apollo 8P using CachyOS. It works!

The Twin comes up as Apollo Solo, but works. The Apollo 8P was supposed to not be supportet (Thunderbolt 2 related), but they made it work while we were in touch today.

I simply wouldn't have guessed anyone would engage in trying to reverse engineer a UAD driver for Linux, amazing!

It would be nice if we had a little more activity around it here on the Fediverse.

I'm planning on going this year and I have a little project (a little hardware box based on the adafruit feather... ) that I'll be carrying around with me. Yes, vibe coding definitely involved - but it helps my music creation, it's a tool, I'm using it.

I would really like to connect with people doing audio on #Linux

They need a library that Ubuntu has dropped, libgl1-mesa-glx

Can you compile github.com/x42/midifilter.lv2/ from source?

I have just added a "Chromatic Cluster" plugin, ready for testing. Currently it allows for up to nine notes to be triggered, each with an offset of -24 .. + 24 semitones relative to the input note.

If you could give it a test run, some feedback would be very appreciated. If needed I could also send you a binary.

#LV2 #linuxaudio #MidiPlugins

So I'm using this beautiful old #Sitala #WindowsVST, which is a dead simple drum #sampler player #plugin… triggered by #LspTrigger.

Now #LSP Trigger only triggers one note of course, but I'd like several notes to be played by the #Sitala #VST.

So far I am abusing #MidiChord, yet another magic tool by @x42, but it can't do chromatic clusters. 🤪 So I need to arrange my samples in the scale… which is possible, but it's less samples available than I would wish.

Any idea?

So okay I've been trying to check out whether using my Linux PC as a guitar amp would be viable and I keep running into this NAM thing (neuralampmodeler.com/)

And very little else? And I'm like... come on. The only amp sim available, or at least one so popular it drowns out all other options, and it's based on a neural network? That sounds like "AI" hype driven overkill, right? At least to me as a complete newcomer.

Is there really nothing decent that just takes the obvious approach of applying simple, mathematically understandable algorithms to produce effects? Does it make sense somehow to use a neural network to do this? Is it performant? What's going on?

“So, as soon as we were not bound by iLok anymore, it was like this is a no-brainer. You know, the option to support Linux already exists in JUCE. It doesn't take very much to export the plugin for Linux. So, why not? It doesn't add any extra work for me.”

This is such a great interview, and I love how forward the approach is to supporting #LinuxAudio, by just switching out iLok and using JUCE.

B.Choppr is sound manipulation #LV2 plugin to produce techno style-like chopping effects. And there's a new release:

github.com/sjaehn/BChoppr

#musicproduction #linuxaudio

Two MousePlugins releases are getting close.

StudioHum is in final testing before release. It brings believable mains hum, ripple, buzz/hash, drift, and stereo mismatch into clean digital audio in a controlled, musical way.

HysteresisShaper is close behind. It’s our magnetic-memory colour box: hysteresis-style behaviour, subtle nonlinearity, and signal history that matters.

One does electricity. One does magnetism.
Both do trouble.

🧵 So, on my journey to live #PitchShift on #Linux with an #audio #plugin, I found #SpectralShift. This one is very good I think. However, it has too much latency for live use, so it's more for mixdown.

The old #MaPitchshift serves as an example for one of the reasons why #LinuxProAudio had a bad reputation in the past: It's practically useless. It does pitch shifting, but it only shifts by some magic floating point number which has no easy-to-handle relation to musical terms such as semitones or cents. The latency depends on the window setting, yet it is possible to sabotage the thing completely by nonsensical settings.

So I asked ChatGPT and it said the ratio is 2^(Semitones/12) – keep this in mind and your calculator ready. 🤪 This is actually sort of correct.

Turns out that the shifting of #MaPitchshift is too inacurate for musical use with a window size suitable for live use. So, giving up for now, back to outboard, my 21-year-old #Lexicon #MX200 is way better.

#LinuxAudio #vst #vstplugin

I found another interesting audio #plugin for #Linux: #reTuner claims to do good pitch-shifting for instruments generally too low or too high. Like 440Hz to 432Hz shifting.

There is a .deb package, yet unfortunately, the plugin installs to a non-standard place.

I decided to symlink /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/vst3/KV-reTuner.vst3 to /usr/lib/vst3 instead of adjusting plugin paths in all my plugin hosts.

I don't have an urgent need for it, but I'm sure I will use this at some point.

(Actually I am looking for a possible replacement of the pitch shifter in my Lexicon MX200, which I still do love… yet the ADCs of the Lexicon are a sad story, and the old Boss compressor sitting in that rack together with a cheap Alesis tube preamp isn't that reliable any more.)

I haven't tried it yet, but I just found out, it finally has arrived! I have been waiting for this…

🧵 The #automixer #plugin for #Linux!

For those who don't know, automixer is a circuit invented by a guy named #DanDugan. (Today: an algorithm.)

Basically it is a tool that compares all mic channels to all other mic channels. In effect, lowers mics not in use. When multiple mics are used, it averages their levels – very quickly.

Most good digital mixing consoles have a built-in automixer these days, such as the #AMM by #AllenAndHeath. I use it all the time when live-mixing dialogue. Especially with headset omni mics, this isn't a handy tool, it's a live-(sound-)savior. (I once used it on 16 open omni mics, would have been a feedback orgy otherwise.)

If you quickly need to mix down a multi-track recording of spoken live dialogue, this thing will save your behind.

If it works as intended, which I'll have to try.
