Turn your Chromebook into a Digital Audio Workstation

Anyone curious about editing audio in Chrome OS?

Yes

I'm curious how this has worked out for you. I'd love to edit music on a chrome book.

[@jaybabii6092]

Not edit but record with an interface

[@ingridguachallaguachalla1654]

YES ON REAPER!

[@ObscureMics]

Dude....thank you. I just grabbed a Lenovo chrome book duet for some light travel editing and you just gave me the knowledge to work with something I’m comfortable with. MVP

[@lustechsource5197]

Glad I could help!

[@harpershittheroad6363]

While not comprehensive this video gives just enough of the basics and a good visual/contextual road map to work. I really struggle with getting the directories to match up but the terminal is pure logic so I was eventually able to figure it out. Thanks for the information

[@luuketaylor]

I used to use Mixcraft on Windows back in the day, but have been on CrOS for some time now, and want to get back to making mash-ups in my spare time. Going to go through these steps on my Pixelbook in a moment.

[@stevenmiller9986]

Excellent step by step with visuals. Thanks! I 'd never have made it without this.

[@maismusica4992]

Thank you very much. I've been racking my brains to get this done and your video was decisive.

[@TheLiteraryLyricist]

Thanks for the awesome tutorial! I'm taking my first steps into voiceover work but was using a Chromebook, which I know is less than ideal. I was able to get both Audacity and Reaper following your steps and will be trying these out as I get my feet wet. Great video.

Is it posible use an audio interface on Chromebook?

[@othinus]

@@frankmacromancia Yes. As long as the chromebooks detects it as an audio source. There are forum threads on reddut on which ones are fullt compatible. I hope this helps. Cheers!

how to delete the reaper program once installed from terminal?

[@pikamax3577]

Hi! I successfully installed Reaper on my Chromebook thanks to this video However, I'm having a hard time getting Linux VSTs to work, it says "assets not found, reinstall or give access to documents folder" Any ideas? Thanks!

[@dresinc1684]

I find tutorials helpful but they usually lose me within a minute. This one lost me when it said to install audacity from some mystery place. I'm to assume that every single Chromebook with Linux automatically has audacity somewhere somewhere somewhere that it could just automatically Pull It by typing in get and install audacity?

[@ecubing1699]

I got to the point to when the download is complete and when I went to open up reaper it just kept loading and not actually opening reaper. Any tips will be greatly appreciated!

[@lustechsource5197]

There is a bug in Chrome v81 that wont let some Linux apps display properly. Bug is described here: bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1068746 Unfortunately, to fix it you have to disable GPU acceleration. To do this open up a Chrome browser and type "chrome://flags" Search for "Crostini GPU Support" Change the dropdown to "Disabled" That fixes the issue for me but graphically heavy applications will run slow. Hopefully it's fixed in the next update.

@@Actuality603 Recording has now been added to Chrome OS. I just started testing this past week and was able to get it to work with my SM7b mic and Scarlett solo USB interface. Working on a video on it, but to use recording you have to enable the Mic in the Chrome OS Linux settings. There is an option called "Allow Linux to access your microphone"
