The Present and the Future of This Channel

[@evelyntelevision]

I'll keep following you whatever you do. Your contribution to open source audio education is already monumental, and something you should be incredibly proud of. I'm really glad you're in a position where you're able to focus on your health right now. You're a wonderful person and an inspiration to us all. Sending you all of the love and wishing you all the best no matter where life takes you 💜

[@eutirox702]

Sending lots of love bro. I’ve learned a lot with your music production tutorials, eternally grateful.

[@unfa00]

Thank you!

[@braintube76]

I'm sorry to hear about you having health issues. I wish you a speedy recovery. Thank you for all the work you have put in to making all the great Ardour videos! Take care!

[@makerbotplanet]

I know you just said you were taking a break, but I'm just letting you know: I'd probably watch more videos of just you biking around with good music playing You've been my favorite linux music channel and it's sad to see it over. Health comes first. I hope you come back one day ~

[@TheChrissutcliffe]

The more open source content available the better so this can only be a good thing :)

[@manfredbirkholz3832]

Thanks a lot for all your work and commitment! Get well soon, Unfa!

[@unfa00]

Thanks! I'm on it :D

[@michaelkornblum2917]

Umfa, I first came to your channel because you approached the topic of audio production under Linux in a comprehensive and enthusiastic manner that was not present anywhere else. I have a feeling that you will do the same service to whatever topic you feel passionate about whether it be game development, basket weaving, etc.. I just ask that you keep your older videos online, so those who are new to audio work can continue to learn from you.

[@michaelfulgenzi7445]

Unfa, you have been a tremendous source of information and inspiration. Because of you I produce music with FOSS. Be well. I’m looking forward to your next adventure here!

[@unfa00]

Thank you! I'm glad I was able to help :)

[@LinuxCreative]

I think others share in the sentiment that it's not the content that matters here. It's your authenticity and personality that your audience have grown to appreciate you for. Anyone can install Linux, make music, and show others what they've learned, but only unfa can do unfa just right. I hope your health improves and I look forward to following your journey wherever it takes you. Passions evolve with us, and yours has been extraordinary to witness. Cheers!

[@merseyviking]

Sad to hear you have health issues, so here's to a fast recovery! I quite like the idea of a FOSS gamedev direction, especially because I used to be a game dev. But as others have said, health (both physical _and_ mental) come first.

[@kg4frdz]

good luck with your project!

[@unfa00]

Thanks!

[@Auridian]

Muito obrigado unfa. Por todos os vídeos que fez e todo o trabalho envolvido, que me ajudaram bastante, seu trabalho foi fenomenal e que ainda me servirá como referência futura. Um abraço de Piripiri, Piauí, Brasil.

[@unfa00]

Muito obrigado!

[@thunderpaw6541]

Best wishes to you and for your health Unfa. Your audio synthesis tutorials have been priceless! Take care and God bless...

[@Pierrecelloz]

No man…. I found you today, and you are really wonderfull! I have to watch all your other vids bit it was so sad to know about your stop😢😢😢! Hope you are good, take care!

[@MarkConstable]

Thanks for the tour and all the best with your health and the future. Lovely trees wherever you are.

[@71GA]

I was really sick... And because I was sick I was able to take time to discover your chanell, watch your videos. I have been wanting to use FOSS on Linux for 10+ years, but I could not convince myself to do it. In the end I wasted my money on Bitwig and tried with Linux/Bitwig. It was fine untill Bitwig continued charging 300€ each year... It demotivated me to the point I stopped producing my music... You inspired me to start again using FOSS software. Ardour maybee was not ready years ago, but now it is. And also Pipewire! THANK YOU!

[@ghostwetware]

Gracias a ti he podido conocer más sobre el desarrollo de audio open source en linux, sigue adelante con lo que te haga sentir mejor! un abrazo desde Chile

[@ferdeboergd256]

Sorry to hear about your issues. Take care of yourself and, whatever you decide, do what is best for you.

[@model.citizen.ps3]

this is the best channel about free & open source audio/music production. looking forward to your future content on open source game development. hope your health gets better soon; best wishes!

[@unfa00]

Thank you! I hope to be able to give something great to the FOSS community once more - right now I'm gathering experience and getting my strength back :)

[@sykoteddy]

Discovered you channel just today, sorry to hear you are having health issues. I hope you get better soon and some day will return with more energy. I'm 43 and have been wanting to learn to DJ and make my own music for a long time and maybe soon I finally get my thumb out... I will at least try DJing out. Making music is such a much bigger thing. I enjoyed the song in the end, the video looked like it could have been filmed in Sweden, but I noticed it was in Poland. :) I wish you well and hope to see you sometime in the future!

[@uvulum]

Love the idea of this channel becoming a foss video game dev one. Includes the previous content too.

[@johnnybigpotato2404]

Dam bro. I started trying to figure out Linux Music way before there was a KZbin. I'm back decades later to give it a go and I find you, pure gold, then I find this video. You and your videos have helped this old geezer out more than anyone else on the face of this planet. Thank You Sooo Much! See ya when you find you way back home. ;)

[@crhkrebs]

I came to your channel initially for the Cardinal tutorials. I miss the “let’s learn this together” style of discovery. But your health is most important, and I hope you take the time to heal. Be well, my friend.

[@chicopm]

Unfa, thatnks for all the instructions on audio production, I truly learned a lot! Good luck with the game development, I will still be tuning in!

[@hurdurdur7rl696]

It's ok to make changes in life. I'm very grateful for your tutorials, surely someone else will pick up the topics where you leave off :)

[@alastairfulcher6498]

Thank you for all of your hard work. Your channel has been an invaluable resource for me, I wish you every success in the future!

[@unfa00]

Thanks! Glad I could help :)

[@jean-mariefavreau5162]

Love from France, Unfa, thank you for your work, your channel is a reference for me and my linux/opensource audio geeks :)

[@unfa00]

Thank you! BTW: I visited Provance with my wife recently and it was so beautiful!

[@davidwolterworks]

much love to you! good luck with your health journey and the game development!

[@Lagrange_Point_6]

Do what makes you happy, and above all be well. Good luck with whatever you do.

[@Cuperino]

Hope you get well soon. Keep doing things you love! Thank you for your contributions!

[@wohfab]

You are an incredible human being and your content, whatever it may be, and how little or much it will be in the future, will help so many people! Your published videos already are priceless! Keep yourself healthy and enjoy the freedom of doing what feels good! Sending hugs ♥

[@redinator9896]

You have taught me so much! Good health, friend!!

[@afonsorafael2728]

I will always be here unfa, your channel is very cool and you are very important for the open source community

[@kond1]

Wishing you good health and all the best as you take on a new direction bro.

[@Zaidzman]

Lots of love! You've consistently combined great content with education about open source alternatives in a delightful manner. Thank you

[@unfa00]

Thank you :)

[@winzs90]

Dear unfa, nice to hear that health is getting better. This is not in my habit to comment videos but I do it today. Because when we appreciate people it is important to speak with them and let them know how they are important in others life. Be proud of all the amazing stuff you did over those past years. I subscribed to your channel about 8 or 9 years ago, if i could remember. I found your channel and subscribed because of amazing content and quality that I did'nt found nowhere else !! I have learned so many things from you, thank you so much unfa ! Keep rooockin' in game dev ! I am also interested in this content ! All the best. Greetings from France.

[@TheBrainHacker888]

i miss you i love ypur honesty,and you are one of the rare one support linux music production

[@danielcoakley9158]

I know all too well about having health issues. Hope it works out for you and many many thanks for the work you have done.

[@nair.bakunawa]

Thanks for your contributions!!!

[@notmuggin8541]

All your videos are so helpful!! I would've never understood Ardour without you!! Thank you!!

[@unfa00]

Thanks, I'm glad I could help :)

[@DannyWerner]

Thanks!

[@unfa00]

Thank you for your donation!

[@DanielSousa-O]

just found your channel recently , seen a couple of videos, and I hope you get better, and , I hope you make a couple more in the future, but , you gave a lot , and the content is high high on the top. Thanks !

[@WispOfSoul]

it would be great to see more Free and Open Source Game development people, but I'd be glad to watch your videos with pretty much anything you decide to do. Good luck with whatever you decide to do next, and thank you for your years of videos which I will continue to watch.

[@unfa00]

Thank you :)

[@canalarger8381]

Sad to know. Thanks a lot for your effort to bring us such inspiring and educational videos about FOSS music tools. Take care . Greetings from Barcelona

[@unfa00]

Thank you. I am feeling much better now. Better than I felt for the whole year. Good medication is an absolute lifesaver.

[@juanpereyra3700]

I hope you'll get better and be back soon. The view is awesome

[@ikssadrone8307]

Thanks for all the generated content. I am an experimental musician and I have been making music with Linux for more than 10 years and finding your channel helped me to continue and not lose focus. thanks for everything you did. Greetings from Argentina

[@jasonsandoval2700]

we understand, thank you so much for all you share here, we really appreciate it

[@Sikkersnapper]

All the best @unfa00. Your existing videos are gold and whatever you choose to do with your channel will be worthwhile.

[@raddoxlogan7505]

Wish you all the best. Learned alot from you so thx for that :D

[@lifeline7371]

Love your work ^^)/ stay healthy (I want to ride my bike now). And best of luck with Liblast

[@alexovercast3359]

Here's hoping you are getting well. There's no youtuber that covers this topic as well as yourself. I managed to get fedora jam working on my system. I'm using Reaper ( I know - not FOSS, but I can't deal with Ardour). Thank you for the videos. I wouldn't have been able to get this far without them.

[@SergioVz]

Get well soon, take care and remember you are a VIP for many people around the world. Gracias Unfa! Stay in touch. Saludos desde México.

[@leonardoguercio2491]

Thanks for all your great work, unfa. Your channel is a huge source of invaluable information🤘🤘

[@misterknee]

Thanks so much for all the great info you've put out. I've learned so much from your content, and I hope you have great things in store for your future!

[@unfa00]

Thanks! I hope so too :D

[@StaempunkTV]

Wishing you a healthy recovery and all the best in your future endeavours! You're a great teacher and I've learnt a lot from you so thanks!

[@invisiblejay7573]

Haha! FOSS sound design and audio production expert leaves the mic off. Classic. Hey unfa, I'm happy for you to be making the move, whenever that happens, and I believe that it will. And that when it does it will be great. Thanks for all you've done for sound on Linux. It needed help, and you helped make it better. And speaking of "better", I hope that your health gets better, and I wish you well. As far as the FOSS gaming channel, when you do get around to it, I think I might not watch too many of your videos, I'm sorry to say. But you see, there is something wrong with me: when I watch gaming footage, even just now in this video for instance, I get this sensation of a pressure moving through my body and in my head. And then there will often be a sound, like grinding metal x nails on chalkboard, that passes through my head, side to side, one ear then the other, and I will get momentary vertigo almost. I made it from the beginning of the footage in this video (and I knew it would likely be coming) up until the fridge-stacking, which I was curious about, but right about then it hit, and I nearly fell completely out of my chair! LOL you can't make this stuff up. Anyways, best of luck and thanks for everything. Take care unfa.

[@unfa00]

Hey, thank you :) I wouldn't be playing games, but making games! So game dev, rather than gaming. But of course you gotta test what you're making. I'm sorry to hear you've got such a problem. It seems like whenever camera is moving in a video, it really affects your balance. Take care, and so will I :)

[@kilgoretablet1761]

Thanks for all you great videos that have gotten me into digital music production ! Take care of yourself!

[@newkfromrotterdam]

as audio is part of gamedev you can include it when you feel like it! :3 Hope you're feeling allright with whatever you do

[@sevidmusic]

Love your videos, looking forward to game dev content when you are able to make it. 😎

[@unfa00]

Thanks! I'm looking forward to it as well, seeing how you guys are excited :)

[@blacksheepriot7228]

Thank you for your incredible contribution to the world of Linux audio, your Drumgizmo tutorial was the foundation of the template I use for my projects... I hope you have a quick recovery from whatever those health problems are. I was also surprised that the video didn't mention, in one sense or the other, the future of Unfa the musician, but I'm happy to see you're still at it, after listening to the final minutes... Very cool song, you're a very talented artist on top of everything... All the best.

[@mqbaka]

I've been following this channel since the LZW series, the URI series. Actually, your LMMS tutorials were the first tutorials that I watched on youtube. Get well soon, nothing can take you down, you know that. I wish you and your familly all the best. God bless you.

[@germona]

Thank you for all the previous video's, especially from Ardour. Its a pity that you don't make those anymore, but than again health is the most important thing in live, i wish you all the health....

[@unfa00]

Thank you! Doing my best :)

[@Outer_Mind]

Take care and many thanks for all the videos in which you put massive amount of hard work. Take care and wish you all the best in your future opportunities! Pozdro! ❤

[@lormanz]

Thank you, your music production videos were very helpful. I'm not interested in video games, so that's bad news for me. But the most important thing is that you recover your health, hugs!

[@johnhricko8212]

Wish you the best in your future. You have educated and inspired many people, and I would be very proud if I were you. Peace!

[@unfa00]

Thank you!

[@exitthelemming145]

Really enjoy your video content for Ardour and hope you return after a very well earned break. There are a LOT of people out here who will always support what you do in whatever small way they can. Your health is all that really matters all said and done.

[@sychedelix]

Thank you for all your previous videos and for sharing this update. The game seems really cool, I'd love to try it (from a CS fan). I hope you recover well. All the best 😊

[@unfa00]

Thanks a lot! I felt like I never said anything publicly about what's going on and I thought I owe it to y'all. It took me a while to get ready for it, as you can see :D

[@Soosheon]

I am excited to see where you go from here. I'd also love to help with the open source games!

[@BenThatOneGuy]

I'll be here if or when you decide to return to youtube :) wish you well, and thank you for all you've made so far. Much love

[@unfa00]

Thanks :) I hope to see you again then!

[@dropview7013]

Hi Anfa, just wanted to wish you well and the very best of health. You do you, if FOSS gaming is where your passion is then go for it man. Btw, you can always start it’s own channel and keep this one. Better for the KZbin algorithm (so I hear !), Good luck man 👍🏾

[@unfa00]

Thanks! I was thinking about it and I figured - instead of leaving this channel to grow moss, I could revive it and offer something new to the 27K+ subscribers. Maybe some of them would leave, but some might enjoy the new stuff.

[@cheapfm]

Hey brother, take care of your health man. it’s the most important thing! Free and open source music, free and open source film making, free & open source gaming are very much related as soon as you hop on the open source band wagon. these are the ways an artist like you will express something and put it out into the world, I definitely see this a natural evolution and would be very curious to see how this channel and you evolve into those various dimensions. Take care and come back when you feel ready! really looking forward to that!

[@Bob-of-Zoid]

Well Unfa as much as I love you, and thank you for your Ardour and related tutorials, I am not into gaming, and therefore have no use for gaming content. Of course I will stay subscribed for a bit just in case you make another announcement that you decided to keep up the audio recording content.

[@unfa00]

I see. Thanks :)

[@Bob-of-Zoid]

@@unfa00 Just in case: I'm not asking you to continue with the audio content Unfa, you should absolutely do what makes you happy, but gaming? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! I'm just not into it. I was although one of those kids who once I got a hold of the Galaga console and threw a quarter in, no other kid got to play (hours) until I milked some 50 free games out of it, and had to go home or have no dinner!😜 I realized how addictive but non productive it was and so had to stay away, or else end up a bum living in a van down by the river. If I were a developer, I would still feel like I am contributing to some peoples lack of self control. I will say this coming from the same mindset (the way I see it): Linux audio production needs way more attention, pushing, and educational support, to get word out that it can become a great, viable alternative to the MAC/ Microsoft empires proprietary garbage! Gaming on the other hand is only suited for those who can easily put it aside and get shit done for themselves, family, friends... and have a real life in general. I was so happy after watching you for the first time helping me with Ardour, especially when I binge watched your earlier content. Sure there are a few other content creators with a few (way outdated) videos on the subject matter, but nowhere near as many channels for Linux audio, as Audio production on OS's made by the axis of evil! I was hoping You would do what so many have done to build their channel: Assemble a team and publish bi-monthly, weekly or the like, with a few different shows, like "Linux Audio news", "Linux audio software spotlight" "Become a Linux Audio production pro!"... that sort of thing. With a team, you can take some of the weight of your back; I have had health issues my whole life, and now as of recently a shit load more in addition, and one person has only one persons capacity, and burn out comes from not rationing the fuel in the first place, or "Burning the candle from both ends"! So again: You do what makes YOU happy, as human sacrifice is not only morally unacceptable, but irrational!😜

[@daniel.deflax]

Even if i do love the concept of open source in general and in audio production its not something that made me subscribe really. What hooked me was the detail and dedication you put in researching the topics, so no matter what direction your channel goes into i can tottaly understand why the supporters dont want to leave. Get well soon, man!

[@mycase04]

Your videos helped me a lot with using open source tools for music production and will ever be a great info-source on this topic. Thanks and best wishes to you ✌

[@unfa00]

Thanks! I do hope the old videos will keep being useful (especially the ones on more general).

[@ekksa3771]

Take your time you need! PS: great Cycleways with the symbol of direction, better than in Germany.

[@unfa00]

_Poland 1:0 Germany_ :D

[@batdevis]

thankyou @unfa, you are and always will be an active part of the story of opensource.

[@jazztabasta]

May the force be with you!

[@oommdtube]

Ethically i like where your at :bottom line , I need any and all open-source experiencers input because Im going that direction ,love you and sending you love-live first share later

[@OsZ_DJ]

Respect to your decision - do what ever is good for you and what you enjoy - just started last year to use Ardour and you got me a long way into it with your tutorials. THANK YOU a million times for the time you spent explaining how to use open source software for music production. Always respect and I gonna stay tuned .... Cheers!

[@yowlacoustic5909]

hello unfa... i'm french and i understand poorely english (one word sometimes)... but i follow your videos since 2 years. i think that i could begin music with linux thanks to you.... i think that we are a lot of people who made the same thing: using your video as inspiration. sorry for my english. thanks. i wish the best for your projects.

[@unfa00]

Merci beaucoup!

[@batlin]

Fair play for being true to your calling. I'm trying to get into very basic gamedev with Defold and have learned a good bit about Ardour and some modern synths from your vids, and have no doubt your gamedev stuff will be useful to many.

[@rikeprestes]

Hey dude ... Take care man. Best regards

[@blackbirdchannel-c7b]

May things go well

[@LexRudera]

Would be mad hyped for open source game creaton videos!

[@danielranc8963]

All my wishes for recovery. But sorry bro, i'm into music, not into video games at all. Good luck anyway, and many thanks for your educational contributions on Ardour.

[@unfa00]

Thanks! I totally understand. I guess my heart has moved on a bit. However - the community chat is still about audio and I think it's a great place to learn, get inspired, get help setting your Linux system for audio etc.: chat.unfa.xyz

[@ERev2017]

Unfa youre cool man. You know what to do 🤙🎸

[@costascostas1760]

Thank you Unfa!

[@fabricio4794]

You are not Failing,Thank you For all of your work,we know.......

[@ksln]

Take care of yourself, man. Do whatever motivates you. That's where the good stuff comes from. :)

[@SvenHeitland]

thanks for yout work, get well soon.

[@giovannisardisco4541]

7:13 the sunglasses are the same. Also the videogame is the same (Ultimate Arena). You are becoming Zeb89, an Italian ex youtuber. But, you have the open source culture and I will love anything you want to do.

[@unfa00]

Hi! I never heard of the guy, I hope that similarity is a positive one :D Thanks!

[@puzzud]

Take care of yourself. Your videos are and will be super helpful. Doing what you do (purely open source software or open source enabled software) and how you do it for a more interdisciplinary set of game development topics would be great. Game development happens to be my primary interest anyway. Making games with a full open source set of tools--sign me up!

[@unfa00]

Thanks! Liblast is kinda of a proof-of-concept for this idea of making games with 100% FOSS. I hope to share all the great stuff I've learned already one day :)

[@koool56]

I am a game dev as well, would love videos about open source game dev!

[@fingereze7202]

Hi Unfa good to see you again! Longtime Patreon and KZbin viewer... what if you did both? I mean, Open Source Videogame Production and Open Source Audio? It doesn't have to be one or the other! Whenever you're inspired to do a music/audio production video, just post it to the same channel? Just a thought... Appreciate all you've done in the past and hope you get better soon! Thank you. ❤

[@unfa00]

Thanks! Making sound effects and music is definitely part of game development, so - yeah!

[@bobruddy]

❤❤

[@upperroomworshipmoments]

what camera did you use to record this video? the image quality is excellent

[@budgetkeyboardist]

Whatever is best for you is what you need to do.

I have an SM57, but thanks :D

Came here for the music, staying for the games.
