Just giving a bit of context here:
Marianne is a french far-right sovereignist newspaper. I'm not surprised it's spreading this kind of informations as its goal is definitely to weaken Macron's government. Plus a lot of its headlines are clickbaity bullshit serving a far-right agenda.
I'm not saying it's a direct propaganda newspaper, but their interests are inline with those of Russia. It's easy to get an officer to say this or that so I wouldn't trust anything written here as it's just opinions from some french officers.
Open exchange format for DAWs. Contribute to bitwig/dawproject development by creating an account on GitHub.
Bitwig and Presonus just released an open source exchange format between DAW. It would even transfer automation data which seemed to be until now a pain point. I think it's a good thing to be able to collaborate with other musicians easily.
So what do you guys think?
Could you please elaborate on your usecase and workflow?
There's no FOSS plugin doing all of what Thimeo offers. You can get close with a lot of processing, but not the same.
I really don't get it. 200€ for a plugin where you can get a hardware version for roughly the same price, or that can be recreated with basically any soft synth. And there are tons of 303 plugins, both paid and free.
Looptober 2022
The goal is to make one loop every day in october. I'll try to tackle it, create a bunch of hopefully nice stuff and learn.
Are you in?
Post your loops here
Punk Labs just released OneTrick Simian, an audio Plugin drum machine perfect for this vintage drum sound. If you're doing any kind of retrowave, synthwave, vaporware etc, it's just perfect. Give it a try and tell us how you like it. And share your music.
And I really like their website and marketing!
I did a sample pack for musicians using a modular synthesizer a while ago. It's made of 23 Risers for different music genres. I hosted it for a while on another platform, and as I'm moving to a more robust solution, I want to share it again with you all #musicians.
The risers are CC0, there's no E-Mail trap, no tracking, nothing. They are entirely free. Click the link, download them, et voilà!

Enjoy, make music
zrythm just released its beta version.
go give it a try, it's a really promising DAW, free software, multiplatform. Good looking. And "modern". And with a chord track.
A classic question, but as linux audio is getting bigger and bigger and even I can't cope with all the great new plugins, I'd be glad to hear what you all are using in order to make great mixes.
Zrythm is a new (still in alpha version) DAW on the not overly crowded FOSS DAW market. It's aimed at music producers, not necessarily engineers like ardour.
What I like a lot, is that it does a bit of everything, borrows nice concepts here and there, here are a few examples.
- Dragging the bottom right corner of a region duplicates the region.
- It supports all linux plugins format (I'm looking at you LMMS)
- It has a nice plugin browser, a monitor section and you can easily export stems (I'm looking at you qtractor)
- I has a chord/scale helper, perfect for creating solid harmonies.
- It has a solid MIDI system (looking at you ardour)
- It does audio and MIDI, od course
- You can modulate parameters using a modulator track (think modulate your pan or just any plugin parameter using an LFO)
It's not entirely stable yet, there a quite some little things to iron out, but it's already usable, testable, and the dev is really reactive. Please report bugs (you can even do it per email, without singing in) and support the project if you can.
great audio mix tip to thicken a complete mix and bring important elements forward:
It's a parallel mixbus compression technique from Andrew Scheps. No need to watch the 10 minutes long video here it is:
- create a bus with any kind of compressor.
- send all tracks except the drums to this bus. The sends have be post fader.
- Compress the bus aggressively (fast-medium attack, fast release, 4:1 ratio up to 10dB gain reduction)
- bring the bus fader up until it blends and thickens all your front elements.
- Play with your compressors characters, try different ones etc. That's the creative side. -Enjoy
