Description

As a beginner in playing guitar, I'm discovering the wonderful world of music software on Linux.

I'd like to spend time on listing which software is available for which purpose and see if they are working well in Aeon (either as Flatpak or RPM).

I also want to dig deeper into Pipewire pro-audio handling.

Goals

List (or find a list) equivalent to "awesome list" Learn about pipewire pro-audio handling. Improve Aeon / Tumbleweed if needed

Resources

Looking for hackers with the skills:

      I worked on a similar project for tumbleweed a few years back although mostly I just use hardware now,

      In the age of pipewire/wireplumber, The "Graph" View in QjackCtl is great for setting up Audio Routing between various programs and Audio interfaces.

      For amp emulation Guitarix was the best open source amp sim that I had found (maybe there are better ones now), but it is atleast in the tumbleweed repos.

      I'll be interested to hear how you get on and if you have questions feel free to ask.

      I used to do Harmonica recording and mixing under Linux. I already make my sound interface work with pipewire.

      You can also use Helvum to connect the graph, this is for pipewire. And for VST Plugins I typically use Calf bundle/Dragonfly Reverb.

      Previously I use Ardour as my DAW but now I migrate my workflow to REAPER, it has native Linux support, you can try it for free until you decide to pay for it. REAPER comes with some good and simple VST plugins, and it has own JS plugins, I use one called ReEQ, which is a great equalizer.

      Recently I decide to learn a chord instrument so I could make songs by myself, so I bought a MIDI keyboard, I am still learning how to play the piano and didn't try to use it under Linux. The software sound bundle sold with the keyboard only supports Windows and macOS, I've heard there is a program called yabridge to run Windows VST plugins under Linux via wine, but haven't try it yet.

        I've tried connected my MIDI keyboard (Arturia KeyLab mk3) to my Linux computer, it can be used by REAPER, and then I tried to install Arturia's program via wine, it requires to install some dependencies via winetricks and most functions work fine, it can also be used as REAPER plugin via yabridge.
