Linux Setup for Audio Production in 10 Minutes - Anyone Can Do It

Thanks for your content. I have been using Linux on and off since kernel 2.2.14. I love your approach to workflow and the "what works for you is what you should use" attitude.

Its super inspiring too, and pushes me to also create videos on Linux and help others, because I remember vividly how tricky it could be initially, when it doesn't have to be. Again, thank you. This is so valuable to the community and I am eternally grateful for people like you that take time to not only learn, but share it with others in an easy to digest manner.

note: you don't need to copy the iso files to the ventoy host usb drive, you can access your computer's local drive through it, it also makes for a much faster connection since the typical slow usb flash drive speed is not even comparable to a sata or nvme connection. of course this would be impractical if you plan to format the whole drive the isos are located on, but it's perfect for livecd mode. there might be a way to add persistent storage for each of their livecd modes as well. i have been looking for a way to boot directly into ventoy without the need for an external drive for some time now.

@@DextersLab93 i have been considering flashing ventoy to an internal sata drive to get around my inability to boot into ventoy by iso or any virtual drive method. i added supergrub2disk as an iso boot and it has helped a bit. there should be a way to boot into an iso from supergrub as well but i haven't gotten around to trying it.

Although heavily invested in Apple silicon since July 2021, I am interested in at least a dual boot with Linux. I will keep my fully loaded M1 Pro as long as it meets my music and video demands, which at the moment are far below what the machine could handle - I still haven't heard the fans' operation. I have so far without success attempted 3 different ARM-64-friendly distros in both VM environment and as dual boot. I've lost count of the hours of wasted time, over the past 2 weeks. I may soon give up such an endeavor, and get a separate laptop, just for Linux. Once I heard you mention successful use of MOTU M2/M4, I knew I was on the right track (yeah, pun intended albeit inadvertently). Moreover, I used to use Focusrite, Saffire Pro 24 DSP. Thanks for making this musician/creative-centered video.

awesome video. Please, bring more videos about VST compatibility. Question, I've heard that AKAI MPC is based on Linux and also Native Instrument Machine Plus was based on linux with amazing plug ins. What do you think we can do to bring them to the Linux desktop?

[@LinuxCreative]

This is an interesting subject to me. I had an MPC One that I gave to my brother after using it only a few times. The MPC offered some neat synths and effects, but I'm afraid the MPC platform is about as Linux as an Android phone is. It's hard to tell what's going on beyond the kernel and low level utilities like sound back ends unfortunately. We'll likely never know, and the effort to reverse engineer that proprietary software wouldn't probably be worth the time required.

That said, putting pressure on these companies to release Linux native plugins is something we can ALL do by writing forum posts and emails. The customer is always right.

If yes, what exactly did you do that worked? I am currently "only" on the latest Linux Mint as I don't need a total flagship to do voice-over videos. I am using an external Linux compliant ESI U22 audio HW-interface and various external mics, both USB- and XLR's and both dynamics- and condensers. I honestly think it's embarrassing this issues still exists. Tons of users are still hit by it, it's been going on for years and yet... nothing done.

[@LinuxCreative]

@@byronbrimstone5163 if you're getting crackling, these are most likely xruns (buffer underruns). You'll likely need to change your buffer samples, which the Pipewire project calls "quantum".

[@LinuxCreative]

I am using Arch Linux at the moment. My limited python development experience was smoothest on Fedora, for what it's worth. Ubuntu is certainly the most widely used option for audio, but Fedora and RHEL have a storied past with the Planet CCRMA project: ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/ The best distro is the one you know well, and the second best one is the one that makes doing what you want to do easy. These distros are certainly the latter, and great audio setups can be achieved on other distros with a preempt kernel.

Carla is not necessary, but it helps a lot with audio and midi routing.

@@oioio-yb9dw that will depend largely on the DAW you choose. I would look at the DAW's recommended minimum specs and maybe double that. RAM is cheap.

Linux is NOT a better version of Windows. If you just want to run your Windows DAW and your Windows plugins then stay with Windows. Although it's possible to run Windows software on Linux with WINE there is always the risk that you get into trouble because the software vendors are very creative with their "downloaders" and "license managers". If you want to use Linux for audio processing then use software that's availabe for Linux. If you need an audio interface with more than 2 or 4 channels then you might need some software to control its internal mixer, in most cases available for Windows and Mac only. Focusrite supports a programmer who maintains a Linux kernel driver and a GUI to control the Scarlett interfaces (alsa-scarlett-gui). Works fine.

[@aaronhamburg4428]

This part about the interfaces is the biggest no go for linux currently. Every linux entusuast tells you that all usb comliant intefaces work on linux, this is not true when you need bigger more pro setup with more ins and outs. Unless you find an interface that provides manufacturer suport so you can manage the routing you are out of luck. Those interfaces are hard to come buy and if you want a real pro interface with high quality converters and not a prosumer interface then linux is a total no go. It's amazing how much progress is there and how much easier and better is now when comapred to just few years ago but unfortunatelly it still has ways to go before it is really feasable in proper professional setup.
