There's a cool new DAW that has a linux version. It's really wacky! It's not Libre but Free as in beer.

If you read the comments at the end of the article you can get more context on the development. LLMs are involved in it's creation but I still think it's an interesting project.

Here is video of a guy trying out Septabee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJGIw8E2BgM

Or even musical farts like when Peter outfarted Michael Moore on Family Guy

Hi all. Quick intro: I've been into music and audio production since the Commodore 64 days back in the late 1980's, then moving to Atari ST and Amiga - chiptunes and mod trackers, all the way through to today. Part of that journey, alongside the music production side, has been programming. I've been a software developer, engineer and architect for the last 36 years, professionally, and still am. I have developed custom plugins for my music producer friends, and are now polishing some of these up, altering them a bit, and releasing them over @ The Asylum. I'm also thinking about how to help the community with some free / very reasonably priced stuff (I very much have bills to pay as well :) ). Demand for a friendly Linux DAW seems quite high, but I have little experience with Linux programming. Before anyone asks - yes I do use AI to assist with coding - this helps me be hyper productive in the limited free time I love to work on audio plugins/synths etc. It also helps very much with the art and design. I'm a programmer not a painter :) Hope this post is ok - I certainly plan to post more updates etc. soon. Cheers. Simon / The Asylum

I've got at least one album on my Jellyfin server that's about two volume notches quieter than most of the other albums on my server so when I'm playing it back I turn it up, then the next song starts blaring and I have to turn it down again. Wondering if anyone knows of a good tutorial or anything for comparing the decibels of two songs and to bring them more in line with each other.

I am looking into getting a BOSS RC-5 looping pedal for my guitar, and I am curious if anyone has any experience with using it with Linux?

It makes use of this BOSS Tone Studio to allow adding additional backing tracks, but it is only officially supported for Windows and macOS. I could not find many examples of people using it on Linux, but for the most part any discussion I could find was in the context of their amplifiers.

I wonder if it should be straightforward to run it through Wine? As far as I can tell, you only need to set it up as a storage medium and connect it to your machine, although you can't just drag the files directly onto it.

It is not a deal breaker for me if I can't get it working, but it would certainly be a benefit if I could.
