#Linux #ElectronicMusicProduction journey update. After my very clumsy and ruinous command entry of three days ago I am back to a fully operational setup.

A do-over meant making a couple of changes, ditching some things and discovering what had been poorly documented the first (or nth) time around.

I am glad to be back in what feels a stable configuration.

Questions that remain:
1. how did the tilde get picked up in a quick copy paste action?
2. why do Flatpack installations have permissions such that when customising locations the Flatpack application can not see custom locations in my user file structure?

These aren't burning questions which I will loose sleep over, but they present some curiosities that I'd eventually like to better understand.

I bought myself a #BlackFriday special of the 2025 #SamplesFromMars items. I really like how these enthusiasts are using historic gear and are producing vinyl and tape #music archives to then resample and offer as part of their packs. There are some sweet sounds in there. They are fun for working with in #BitwigStudio for #ElectronicMusicProduction and possibly in the search for #BonkWave and #NotBonkWave sounds.

@mosgaard thank you for your kind words. I’ve written what I would have liked to refer to when I was new to this.

I now have a responsive workstation where I can explore #Linux driven #BonkWave and #NotBonkWave #ElectronicMusicProduction in #BitwigStudio.

And I use it for all my other needs too.

My #LinuxAudio journey is continuing and so far, so good in #LinuxMint. I have multiple versions of #BitwigStudio installed alongside one another. My goal of creative #ElectronicMusicProduction on #Linux is nearing a fully functional state.

And everything is working. This time I am taking notes and saving snippets of code to my website. Anyone else wishing to replicate this (it is a work in progress) can check out my notes over here: https://www.ambientspace.com/technical-notes/bitwig-notes/linux-audio-considerations

@giflian if you want to hear the Novachord, I recorded my Stardust arrangement and interpretation using a Hammond organ and a Novachord. Also an electric Celeste, rotating speakers, all arranged as if doing electronic music in 1939 or so. interlude 3 from my album Candy Store.

Post post postscript. Clearly there are things that happen to semiconductors as they age and so I have added an "Age" modulator that introduces random cross-modulated wiggles that attenuate in the longer the gate is open. #Wibbly #ElectronicMusicProduction in #BitwigStudio and ideal for #BonkWave - whew.

Time for bed and dreaming of making some exciting music.

Post postscript. Today my #ShermanFilterbank is behaving more typically today. Dirty pot made better by using? Switching and turn it back on again?

More critical listening shows I was close but not on the mark yesterday. Today? A lot closer. I want to add some basic switches to adjust the envelope follower to smooth it and attenuate in heavy signal conditions.

#ElectronicMusicProduction in #BitwigStudio with custom grid presets…

My #BucketList has meeting #HermanGillis of #Sherman at the top. I would love to have a few hours to talk with him and appreciate his process of discovery. He is an under-appreciated #genius .

Now I need to rewrite my instructions page and curate versions so previous editions remain available in case anyone is actually using my preset for #ElectronicMusicProduction and #SoundDesign purposes.

Hey fam, so I got finished adding my music to Mirlo, so everything is now on both Bandcamp and Mirlo. I much prefer Mirlo’s upload model that let me dump whole albums into the uploader at once instead of track at a time or pay to batch upload like Bandcamp has. Obviously I have a following on Bandcamp and absolutely zero on Mirlo, but I’ll continue to upload to both and you can choose where you go to stream/buy. Thanks for your support and patience!

My #Linux journey continues. A couple of hours of noodling has #LinuxMint looking and feeling very comfortable. Installing #VCVRack required a little bit of 'sudo fu' and some permissions fun so that the #VST showed up in #BitwigStudio - I will need to figure out how to make an executable script to launch VCV Rack in standalone rather than using the command prompt, but that should not prove to be too daunting #LinuxAudio - and so I am ready to start digging into some #ElectronicMusicProduction

Moin.
Mein Highlight letzte Woche war dieses Video, in dem Alex Ball mit viel Mühe, Hingabe und Synthnerdusiasm die Produktion von "Don't You Want Me" nachbaut. Das erklärt vielleicht auch, warum es mir damals so schwer fiel, den Song auf dem C64 im Soundmonitor nachzuspielen. 😅

Wer nicht alles anschauen möchte: ein spannendes Detail bei ca. Minute 11 und der komplette Track am Ende bei 20:30, mit Sängerin Mishkin Fitzgerald.
👏☺️
