What is your software/hardware set up?

I’m currently running Ubuntu, but the way things are going with snap et Al I’m looking to move to something else soon.

My software setup has barely changed in a long time. Ardour is the core of all my production, I use qjackctl for handling Jack, Hydrogen for drums and then occasionally throw in a bit of Renoise or Bitwig for extra synth/sampler needs. I like to keep it simple and this really works for me.

What do you use?

    It seems like snap is a bit of a disaster. I have a VM running Ubuntu for testing some things and ended up completely removing snap it was taking up so much space.

    Debian testing with PipeWire for audio (and qpwgraph for routing). I really don’t do anything remotely complicated recording-wise so my usual setup is Pure Data (usually with some sort of instrument input from my Fireface UCX) or SuperCollider (usually with TidalCycles for live coding) stereo outputs into Audacity where I just do basic normalization and compression. Was thinking of maybe getting into using a tracker for more “fixed” composition and I downloaded MilkyTracker (or maybe now that I think about it mb I could look into using LMMS more) but haven’t toyed around with that too much yet.

      It’s not FOSS but renoise is an amazing tracker. Really wish they’d open source it and use the Ardour model, but can’t complain. I pay £60 ten years ago and I still get updates free

    I use Arch btw, was recording and mixing in Ardour but since I discovered how great Reaper is concerning MIDI workflow I’m going to stick with Reaper.
