I decided to take you on my journey to becoming a music producer. I always wanted to be a music producer, but I always gave in to the pressures of society and focused on a career that ultimately always made me unhappy.
Now I'm finally taking the plunge and trying to produce music on the side as often as I can. For this I will use only free plugins as often as possible. Of course I have a few purchased ones as well. As soon as I get better, I will of course buy new plugins. But for now the focus is on improving my skills.

LINUX MUSICIAN HERE. I only use free software. i use kubuntu with a Linux kernel of low latency especial for work on music with low latency, all the software that you need for create music, on the Linux side there are a bunch of options available, all professional. now Im using a neuronal amp sim like fractal on the guitars, totally free, i have music session with 40 tracks, with almost 5 plugins on each track on a 10 years pc budget working with low latency on less that 2 gb of ram use...... never the same on windows or mac os.

Does Linux perform better than windows. If you had to compare the two

There's this KZfaq channel called REAPER MANIA ( from Kenie Gioia... I think that's the name of the guy ) it might help YOU quite loads because it's like a REAPER MANUAL in KZfaq channel format

I have an old usb audio interface that worked great with windows XP, not so great in Vista and stopped working completely in windows 7. I have just started trying out different linux distros and thought id try to plug it in and see if it works (i dont like to throw away old gear) and it works flawlessly. Microsoft and Apple are terrible for backwards compatibility and you end up being forced to buy new products you don't need. And every new version of their operating systems is more bloated than the previous and that just eats up the higher performance newer computers should have.

Do you have install any drivers to recognize interface? Or just connected

Reaper is one of the best DAWs on the market, the only problem with linux is that a lot of popular plugins are available only on windows/mac

I ended up going back to Debian after 14 years on Ubuntu. For some reason the system wouldn't recover from Suspend on 2010 imac. I could have waited for a revision, but this way I'm no longer tied to snap which Ubuntu had adopted.

The line what you actually need and what you need to stay in your comfort zone is easily blurred. The modern audio market is very good at blurring the line even further. Unfortunately the recurring monetization is also creeping to the audio world. It's a matter of time before everything is behind a recurring subscription locking you even deeper with the ecosystem: keep paying or your tools and everything you've produce with them stops working.

How did you get Nexus to work with Reaper on Linux?
@Kaan_Solo 5 ай бұрын
It does not work anymore since the new 3.0.9 update of Nexus App. I wrote a message to the developer of Yabridge but he still did not respond to me so yes all this is kinda frustrating:)
@samuelbanya 5 ай бұрын
I have to slightly disagree. Some plugins like Addicting Drums and Izotope are so integral to decent EQ and drum sounds that I just have never seen an alternative for, and I am a huge Linux fan. It's a shame that installing them via Wine and Yabridge isn't dead simple and a chore. Just saying that there are some plugins you will miss. But worst case scenario, build a decent PC and just run a Windows VM as well from QEMU.

But it's pretty pointless if you use Reaper because Reaper is still a proprietary software...

You can't use proprietary software on linux??

You can still use it for free until you are willing to buy a license. My personal reason, as I explained, was the desire to get rid of being 'forced' to always buy new products and to concentrate solely on producing music. Therefore, it's useful to find a DAW that also makes you feel comfortable, and this, I can tell you as a creative person, is very important. Also, I have already purchased licenses for software like Sylenth1, Cubase, or Nexus, and this happens from developing a 'habit' with this software. If you get used to something, you are willing to buy it as soon as you can afford it. In my opinion, it's a win-win situation.

@@r8indr0p88yes you can but not all programs have a paid version for Linux, but to be honest, its not necessary that, you could use open source software that make the same and sometimes even better
