Are you using Linux for music production? I'd love to hear from you!

I'll certainly keep people updated as I go.

Also dipping my toes into designing my own instruments and tools.

It's early days, but I've already started on my next release, and I'm enjoying being in the studio.

Plus the open source philosophy sits really nicely with me.

I thought I'd be at a loss without waves, kontakt, etc, but so far I've found really good alternatives, and also a great community around designing, building and sharing awesome plugins and instruments.

And I'm enjoying playing with some new toys without having the old stalwarts to fall back on.

So far everything is running really smoothly. The interface just worked, all my midi controllers are talking.

I've been exploring many of the open source plugins and I'm really impressed.

I've just built a new computer for my studio running Ubuntu Studio.

The main DAW is Reaper, which was already my main workhorse - I switched after ProTools became a subscription service.

I'm trying to avoid running WINE or yabridge. I want to explore options truly native to Linux.

Can you do professional level work on Linux?

I'm taking the plunge

All of the interesting people I know have messy houses.
It must miserable to be immaculate.

There's a million voices
They shout in your head
And you couldn't help but notice what they said

Before I could blink
You just cut and run
Summoning shrouds to mask the sun

Stop riding in the storm
Come in here from the rain
It's warmer than the road out of here

Anyone use Linux for audio and video production?

I'm curious about the compatibility/reliability of things like Native Instruments, Waves, Slate Drums etc with WINE or yabridge... Or suggestions for good alternatives?

YouTube video by Daniel Holdsworth Music Close Encounters | Daniel Holdsworth - OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

A few months ago I released 'Close Encounters'. Musically, it's a bit of a homage to Jeff Lynne, one of my favourite producers of all time.

The video, a bit of a homage to Spielberg. Had to teach myself special FX. It was alot of fun!

@7cricket.bsky.social if you really want people to convert to free streaming over Kayo, maybe have a single stream of the test available rather than making viewers switch between channels? #SLvAUS

Great tune mate!

Fell So Hard Mikey J · She's So Fine · Song · 2025

I'm making an effort to listen to musos I meet on bluesky.

1st up: @mikeyjmusic.bsky.social

A fellow Aussie. New single is She's So Fine, but I really dig the B-Side, Fell So Hard. Some nods to psych Beatles, but also cool echoes of Syd Barrett.

Check it out!

Nice to hear Adam Collins of @finalwordcricket.bsky.social on comms for the tele! #SLvAUS

This Billings and Wade chat is hilarious 😂 #BBL14 #Hurricanes #Thunder

Full tosses and half trackers are no way to win a final. Well batted Owen! #BBL14 #Hurricanes #Thunder

10 years ago this week I flew into Reykjavik, had a beer while swimming in the snow, ate cheap lobster, played a gig in the theatre, then flew home again. It was amazing.

Nice to meet you @mikeyjmusic.bsky.social !

G'day all. New here to bluesky. Looking forward to meeting other music makers and music lovers.

I'll be sharing music thoughts and some of my work too, and I'm highly likely to drop the odd opinion about the cricket.
