With all of the great audio plugins constantly coming out on a daily basis, it is good to go through & keep just the tools that you like the best. It is better to know a few tools well.

There's nothing wrong with using patches, of course, but I personally, am trying to focus on knowing my synths well and using them to their fullest.

I hope this helps someone. 🙂

Many of these plugins are open source. However, many are also commercial plugins. I prefer serial# or keyfile copy protection. There are some that use challenge/response, however. I mark them with a: (C/R).

Plugins with an "*" are those that I have not yet purchased, but intend to purchase.

With that out of the way, here we go:

RECOMMENDED PLUGINS FOR LINUX

I updated my list of audio plugins I use with Linux. There are now so many great apps available nowadays, that I weeded out many of worthy apps. I keep 1 or 2 of the best apps for any particular job (except for samplers -- I LOVE samplers) 😆

Over the next several posts, I am going to post my list of plugins I use, so that any who are starting out with Linux can get an idea as to what's available.

I hate to have to bad-mouth a company that supports Linux, but this is Disco DSP.

George’s business practices are so slimy, that I feel like I have to take a shower every time his company name is mentioned.

If any are curious, go to KVRAudio and see what users there say and think about his company and his business dealings.

New Linux Plugins from Luna Co. Audio!!

I hadn't seen this posted elsewhere, and they look really nice!

I just documented a way to have a Session view & an Arranger view at the same time in Reaper.

This is nothing special really. There are other tools available that do this. The key difference, is that I wanted to have a way to do it, using just Reaper...& maybe a script.

Anyone who tells you that Reaper can't have a session view is wrong. :)

Here's where I put my notes:

Shortcircuit-XT, the awesome open source sampler that many of us have been waiting years for, has just been released as a BETA!!

It is no longer an Alpha!! It's time to start testing and reporting bugs!!!!!

ATTENTION: Please Boost!

Linux Audio users & members of the VI-Control forum:

There is a new sampler coming, & it is going to support deeply sampled instrument libraries (think Kontakt libraries).

I almost gave up, because I just couldn’t find the time. 🫣 But today I finally managed to record a new #linuxaudio soliloquy #video. 😅

In this episode, I introduce my go-to #opensource #audio #plugin (s). 😎
