Reaper is indeed amazing. For electronic music and sound design, I’d say studio one has some advantages though. The absolute champion for that is Bitwig, which also works on linux and seems to be very underrated in general!
Probably unpopular, but I really like Studio One. Reaper is more powerful, and I love it too, but there’s something about Studio One that just let me wrap my brain around it the first time I used it. For me, it’s great for quick and dirty production which is a lot of what I do and “just works” with my interface and mixing console.
Of course that’s not the case for everyone and a lot of folks want and need something with more to it.
I just want to know how to add free virtual instruments in Reaper. Also, I have a bug that persisted over Linux installations where when taking MIDI input from my musical keyboard, Reaper would detect the first note I played, but it wouldn’t detect that I stopped playing it, and it wouldn’t detect any new notes until like 10 seconds later. I have a MIDI cable plugged directly into a USB port of my computer, so if you could help that would be appreciated.
https://yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=jeYa__ATQDc for adding virtual instruments (VST, LV2, CLAP). I recommend Surge XT as a great free synth. Windows VSTs need something like yabridge to wrap wine and the plugin.
Not sure about your bug, but try using pipewire & the jack interface with reaper. Ping me if you need more assistance.
I’m glad the option is available, but I still suggest people try using Reaper over Studio One. More powerful and more affordable.
Yes I also suggest Ardour over other DAWs. :-]
Im really very much just doing music production as a hobby, but even then ardour has some annoyances that make me look for an alternative
I’ve been using Ableton for 3 years and nobody has mentioned it yet. I got the 90 trial of the Suite edition and haven’t looked back.
Ableton doesnt have a linux version right?
It does (Ableton’s Push runs Live on Linux) but unfortunately it is not available to the public yet.
I would literally have no reason to stay on mac/windows if Ableton/max released Linux versions
Same, the entire reason I’m still using Windows is for Max
