Sononym 1.6 #linuxaudio #sample #manager is out! 😎

sononym.net/blog/new-release-1…

I have updated the article on the FSA website about moving to Linux from Windows for music production, in light of some things that have changed since publication, and some things I missed or forgot.

For the #linuxaudio peeps here, a modeled SSL EQ:

Angels seems to be a really interesting new #linuxaudio #granular #effect #plugin by Sequins aka Tâches, inspired in parts by Mutable Instruments Beads.

"A tape mode with wow, flutter, and drive that makes everything sound like it's been sitting in a shoebox since the early 70s. 60+ scales for pitch quantization. Dual reverbs—one before the granular engine, one after."

Have a look here:

I am building a new "SessionMixer" application for my Linux audio setup. The goal is to provide configurable, ergonomic controls over both the audio hardware mixing (onboard in my Focusrite Scarlett, for now) and also software-layer mixing (PipeWire) under one roof.

It's early days, but a lot of the hard problems are already cracked.

Will be released as open source. Hoping it might be useful to extend for other audio hardware.

This is not an advertisement, I'm just a long time happy user, and believe samples is the way to go for many synths tasks, especially on Linux. It gives this nice randomness to use a sample of an analog synth as your oscillator.

If you’re curious about switching to Linux, and especially if you’re curious about Linux for music production — this might be a blogpost for you.

I haven’t been blogging for years, but now seems right to share some of the thoughts I have about Linux and Linux Audio.

First up is getting to know Linux, a thing about OSes, what’s up with all the “distro” talk, and what to expect from yourself if you consider switching, depending on your needs.

Wrote my 2 cents about moving audio production to Linux.

eighty-music.com/2025/11/27/mo…

#linux #linuxaudio #linuxaudioproduction #yabridge #ardour #vst

Sigh, another update, another batch of problems. I updated #Debian to 13/Trixie some weeks ago, and have had a bunch of issues, most were solved.

Today I finally "solved", or rather found a workaround for #Ardour bugging out after exporting audio: it would export fine, but afterwards audio didn't play anymore, and I had to kill Ardour because it won't even quit.

Workaround was: Select "PulseAudio" in the audio-setup. It was set to Jack/Pipewire before, and that caused the problems

Sixth Sample plugins are aesthetically simple and clean and sound very cool. The free DeeLay has been one of my staples for a long time. I jumped on this full bundle for about $110 with taxes and whatnot even though I don't really NEED it:

- it's a hell of a deal on already affordable plugins
- indie dev making awesome things (including free stuff) I like using
- Linux support planned for 2026!

Here's todays honorable mention for #linuxaudio: ZL Audio!

I have used the Equalizer 2, and it has a lot of the features, where I would normally reach for Pro Q3. One of my favorites is double click to low cut, love that feature!

I often use a graphical EQ for finding problematic frequencies and do my low cuts. ZL Equalizer 2 will be that plugin on Linux.

Here is an introduction (OBS Youtube link):
youtube.com/watch?v=ualIekYK2u…

The whole #LinuxAudio experience has become a lot better too. Back then I scripted my own sessions because I just couldn't get friends with #ladish. It was very cumbersome because those scripts were not very reliable and not very portable.

My #LinuxAudio setup from July 2010. I still have the Korg nanoKontrol and the BCR2000. I sold the BCF2000 and the Focusrite 10. All the other stuff either broke down or was brought to the thrift shop.

On a software level a whole lot has changed too. I switched from a modular setup to a monolithic setup, from JACK to just ALSA, from Ubuntu to #Debian and from Qtractor to #Ardour.

I also updated my #blog post with the written #guide, with detailed information on what I changed on my system to get #lowlatencyaudio.
