Hi!

I hope it's allright to post this here as it's not just about Linux Audio, so please let me know if I should move this elsewhere.

Well, I guess we are all in the same boat when it comes to trying to grow communities here on Lemmy so we can provide information on certain topics here as well (and making the platform more attractive for others in the long run).

There are a bunch of Questions concerning Linux Audio / Music Production scattered across many communities and instances - which is great for decentralisation reasons, but also makes everything a bit difficult to find. So, I thought I'd collect some threads and communities that might be interesting for a start to help others figuring things out in the future.

When I joined Lemmy, I struggled a lot with search on here, and as I looked for anything concerning the keywords 'Linux Audio', I stumbled across this post: Any interest in a Linux Audio community? --> https://feddit.uk/post/25295 so I assumed there would not be any active community yet.


Linux Audio communities

It took me a while to find this community (the one you are in right now):

  • !audioonlinux@lemmy.ml
    • which also seems to be the oldest and most active, so I guess this one is the best one to go with for any questions.

Instead, I found these Linux Audio related communities, which I don't think are used much (anymore):

Music Production, Distros, VST

Next, here is a collection of threads concerning Music Production, which I thought might be worth checking out. Most are concerned with Distro options, whereas the next section is more about VST's. I'm sorry if I missed any important ones, so feel free to add anything you found below.


General Audio Questions

Then, I found a few threads about Audio issues. There are a few more concerning gaming, streaming etc. that I won't list here.

Specific communities: DAW's and Music Production

DJing

Off-topic but I though I will include this section, as this might be interesting for the one or the other.


That's it for now, hope this was or will be helpful for anyone. Always thankful for anyone adding anything I missed.

Have a great Day!

Addition: I thought about providing another Music Production related collection soon, which will then most liekly be added to !musicproduction@lemmy.studio in case anyone is interested!

Thanks for the kind words, you will surely have a great time here on Lemmy! So which distro have you settled on now? Happy to hear you like the experience so far! It's been the same for me and I am always happy to learn something new after breaking things or just reading stuff on Forums and so on. It somehow never ends and is very time-consuming, but so much fun. Interesting to read about BeOS and Final Scratch (just had a look on Wikipedia). Enjoy exploring!!

Ive been running a few different arch based distros this time around though not arch itself. So no... I do not use Arch btw (lol). I am about to install Lubuntu with Ubuntu Studio on top of it due to my bish ass UAD Apollo Twin making me cry soon. I want to to check out DAWs on Linux damn it :) What do you run yourself? I happily take advice on any Linux or workflow related stuff btw.

Yea I relate to that with learning from forums and tinkering(?), best way for sure but indeed crazy time sink. Im interested in trying learning from creating a few of those 'Google Podcast from a PDF or whatever' for maybe other scenarios like when commuting to see if its a thing.

Yooo I had to look it (BeOS) up myself: last updated on 24th May 2023 - maybe its time for another run... It has been like 25 years. Better get starting with reading that change log lol
