My talk about the #PipeWire native #Rust bindings is up!

gstconf.ubicast.tv/videos/rust…

I covered the broad structure of the PipeWire code, how and why I started some native Rust bindings, and some of the painful parts of using Rust as well.

Jump forward to 1:20 to get to the start of the talk :)

Wrote my 2 cents about moving audio production to Linux.

#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.

One of the things that don’t care if you are doing music on Mac or Linux is sample packs. I have been using Samples from Mars for years, so while I try out plug-ins I decided to give this free MPC2000 pack another spin: samplesfrommars.com/products/m…

#LinuxAudio journey update - Do I *need* to run the Low-Latency Kernel? I'm not sure that I do as I don't have an audio interface.

I've been updating my notes so that I can rebuild all of this without too much drama (if needed).

Today I got my sample libraries sorted out by setting the discs with media to be auto-mounted at login. I have a curious issue with #BitwigStudio v4.0 not wanting to load mp3 audio, but v5.3.13 and v6-beta-6 handle this just fine.

AmbientSpace - Linux Audio Considerations

10 November 2025 DO NOT RUN SCRIPTS THAT YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND. Linux Mint 22.2 InstallationI am presently using Linux Mint 22.2 - Cinnamon as my preferred distro. I have installed the recommended vanilla updates.

^{www.ambientspace.com}

Today I found out something simple (which means, I was big stupid…)

If I don't use #LinuxStudioPlugins Impulse Reverb plugin, but the simpler Impulse Responses plugin, plus the more vivid color theme, I actually like it.

With the #BricastiM7 stereo impulse responses.

#Linux #LinuxAudio #LSP #Reverb #ImpulseReverb #ImpulseResponse #LinuxProAudio

Another plugin impossible for me not to love is good old #Voxengo #Voxformer running on #Linux via #WinVST. Best tool for #mixing #vocals.

I use a very outdated version. But it does the job very well. The preset #compressor just hits the nail, the #deEesser is among the best I know and then there's this little pressence / tube driver simulation which you won't need for your studio mics, but which comes in handy for live recordings with mics like the Shure #Beta58 or even the old crap #SM58.

(The only caveat: Make sure to switch on 8x oversampling. The default is 1x, which sounds not as great.)
