Summer heatwaves in our house almost always mean one thing --- remote recording sessions! Also - not one but FOUR @triofadolin shows this weekend -- two appearances at Met Museum and two shows at Queens Libraries on Saturday and Sunday ... ice those preamps and bring it on!

see you out there!

People often have difficulty, but it was straightforward for me on Debian/KDE using #ReaperDAW. I'm using a somewhat obscure audio interface (A Topping E2x2) but it just worked.

I record and mix bass and guitar, and also mess with #MuseScore for some arranging.

My biggest challenge has been Windows/Mac-only plugins. I have made Windows plugins work, but that is a good deal of extra effort. JACK was also more work, but optional.

I might have found a way to make Synth1 work reliably in Reaper on MacOS! There's something in how Reaper auto-loads the latest project you had open on startup that clashes with Synth1's initialization. If you start Reaper by double-clicking on the project file instead it seems to load projects with Synth1 tracks reliably every time...

@sknob

I don't know enough about how this actually works as an interface for me to recommend it yet

but I've been very pleased with everything it's done so far, and #ReaperDAW on #Debian picked it up without any complaint. (The management software did not install in WINE, but I haven't tried very hard and with physical controls for everything I care about I'm not sure I need it.)

My oldest guitar, an Ibanez SA400. I swapped a black Gibson Les Paul custom for it in 1980.

Everyone in the band said I was insane. They were right of course, but after it got a pair of Dimarzio Super Distortion 2s installed it turned into a monster.

No pedals, just straight into a Marshall 50w 2x12 cranked to the max, sustained forever.

Currently "retired" sporting a matched pair of Dimarzio PAFs.

BTW, the Gibson was a dog.

Hi everyone, first post.

"Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste...👿"

...or neither.

Recently widowed, hoping to make social and musical friends.

Lifelong musician, #guitar is my main instrument, into #songwriting and #homerecording. Recently taken a deep dive into #synthesizers

What else? Old (1958 vintage), gay, stoic, like a bit of #scifi , regularly enter rooms with no idea why...still say things like groovy and far out, man. ✌️🌈🎸🤪

I have #SoundToys effects loading on my Debian system through the magic of #wine. Mostly. I mean, the GUI doesn't really work, but it loads. (And fortunately, you can turn the skinned UI off entirely in #ReaperDAW and just use basic sliders, though that's not ideal for everything).

I have never really messed with Wine much so it's definitely odd to see Windows installers running on my KDE desktop.

After spending part of the last week trying to figure out a good workflow for noise reduction in problematic spoken word audio

(and documenting it here venya.soundslike.pro/blog/2025)

I am now playing on hard mode by trying to fix up audio from an outdoor wedding recorded on a not-close Zoom H4N under a local airport flight path

@ai6yr If I can find people who can finish this work: bitbucket.org/Klinkenstecker/c I will be able to bring the final machine in the house on to a FOSS OS but right now MS are not only obsoleting a perfectly good computer (for my music needs it's all I could ask for and more) but also a rather snazzy bit of hardware, which is entirely useable thanks to this plugin/addon.

Does anyone know of a free mouth noise remover plugin that works with Reaper on Linux?

I know there's one out there with a free trial, not sure about Linux etc.

I know so little about it all, mostly interested because there's a brilliant meditation teacher that smacks his lips and I have misophonia.

Orchestools Piano S by Ilir Bajri - free, #opensource #VST #plugin that works on Linux (tested in #ReaperDAW).

Tons of settings, stable, fast, great sound.

I spent a lot of time searching for something similar.

The other day at work we had a show in who brought along their own very capable sound technician. As I was getting him all set up to run their show in our venue, I showed him how to do some esoteric routing in our #digico console that solved a problem for him.

A little later, I noticed he was running #ReaperDAW for recording the show. He started about tediously adding a track, then clicking through a series of menus to assign the routing, rinse & repeat 40some times.

I said "oh, you're a Reaper fella too, eh?"

"Yeah, it's great and all... but I don't suppose you have any tricks to make this go faster?"

Boy did I.

I showed him how to add all his tracks at once.
How to arm them all at once.
How to use the Routing Matrix to VERY quickly assign channel routing.
How to quickly name all the tracks.

At the end of 2 minutes, he had his reaper file ready to rock and told me "they should double your salary".

While he's not wrong, it got me thinking about other industry pros who protect all their knowledge like gold charms hanging from their belt. I've encountered them, too.

I DID NOT spend decades suffering, bleeding, failing, learning, succeeding, writing my own rules, etc just to have ALL THAT CRAZY COOL SHIT die with me.

Information is for *everyone* and I personally will trip over myself with excitement for any opportunity to pass it along.
