Hey. I made the switch to Linux from Windows this year. Also a long time Windows Studio One user. I am running Ubuntu Studio and Reaper. I have no experience with firewire in Linux but I will say that Reaper is working very well. What I really like about Reaper is that there is a native plugin format, JSFX, that has a lot of community developed plugins. Great source of finding cool plugins since a lot of the commercial plugins most people are using are not supported on Linux. Unless you use something like wine, which I have not tried. Another cool thing with reaper is that there is a built in vocal tuning plugin. Very useful as there is no Melodyne or Autotune available for Linux. I think the limitation of third party plugins can also work in my favour as I don't waste time buying plugins and make music instead 🤘

Thanks for the comment. Most likely I will also go with REAPER DAW. Yes, JSFX is something I have looked at and programmed a simple plugin myself in the past. After some tests with Linux MINT, I most likely will end up with Ubuntu Studio as well. Limitations can bring out creativity. So far I'm having a positive experience going to Linux.

I'm very interested in how you get on with Linux as a music platform. Which plugins work and which don't. And how the hardware works, with how much latency.

Studio One is in public beta for Linux. However, since FireWire is ancient tech now, and not really supported very many DAWs anymore, you might overall be better off getting a Faderport 8 or 16 and staying on Windows 10/11, where you have a lot more options for plugins supported.

a few years ago when i bought behringer xenyx interface (I had got your comment on it that time too) and using with Linux. i couldn't find a way to use the effects libraries VST and gave up.

As you asked for it, and after you mentioned the already the very competitive again Tacktion Waveform, there is also DaVinci Resolve, which has a DAW called Fairlight built inside. I couldn't test it, as its video editor features require so strong hardware, that missing a proper graphics card it rejected to install on my computer. Maybe you have more luck with it.

I need to transition to Mint (if it works well) from Win7Ultimate for the same reasons. I love 7 and have been recording guitar and creating tracks for years with it. I hate to change OS and have to spend money replacing hardware and software for no other reason than MS forcing 10 or 11. Just 3 days ago, had my Windows activation invalidated by MS remotely, telling me I must reinstall, meaning buying a NEW Win7 Ultimate retail after using it for over 25 years or maybe they thought I'd upgrade? IDK. By what right can they do that?? SO, I'd been debating creating a Linux Mint based gaming machine already due to my issues with Win7 being left behind and now with this "shanghai" from MS, I have to decide now and no time for Linux new user learning curve. I'll be watching intently to see how it goes....

ohh I also had a Master Control...the poor thing broke down...I always missed it. Regarding video, today I would not use Linux for music production, for the simple reason of support. I have always been a Windows user, and more or less, like you, my studio equipment is at least 8 years old too. It is running Windows 11, Cubase 14 and 2 old Bcf 2000, which I always have to waste a few minutes for one of them to work well in Cubase, but in the end it works. I also use an old Alphatrack. I recently switched to Mac, my idea was to centralize everything but it is impossible because the drivers are no longer compatible with Apple (silicon at least) so I have decided to hold on to my entire system as long as I can, since renewing the entire equipment is not a viable option in this case. moment. I know that you will find the most comfortable way to restart, but I think that with Linux, for audio, you will not do well, dude.

I recently switched to Macos from Windows & was able to replicate my software setup, but Linux i'de be SOL 😂 nope.

[@RecordingStudio9]

😂, I understand Linux is not for everyone. Use what makes you create your music.
