The only comparable I was able to find is Bitwig Studio, but it's quite expensive and I wasn't doing so much music so I stopped making electronic music instead.
Not too long ago I broke down a the costs between Ableton and bitwig, and they are quite similar over time.
Ableton has the big #'rd updates where as bitwig you get all updates within a year from license activation.
Since BW will still run after the license runs out (you just cant update to any new versions) I don't always update until there is a new feature that I want to work with drops in an update.
I also limit purchasing licenses to sale periods as a license can sit on the shelf until you're ready to activate it - this significantly reduced the cost for me.
I think there are other ways to go about this though on the vast sea of the net if your sails catch the wind right ;). If you're making stuff for fun and not for profit I think everyone should have access to creative tools.
If you make money than it's worth considering sending some. money their way. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I haven't personally used Ableton ever but am a hobbying musician, and pro-audio is possible on Linux as well as running non-native applications via Wine. I found this just searching, there's apparently a Discord group also dedicated to this project.
Usually doing a web search like "xyz windows program+linux" will produce results, and putting in your distro name will produce better. Anyway, good luck on your journey!

I always seem to run into roadblocks I can't figure out when I try to use wine and windows virtual machines. Dual booting is a hassle but afaik it's the least difficult way to go.
I am a hobbyist and was using ableton live before. As mentioned by others, unless you dual boot - try bitwig studio for similar experience. It is from people who worked in ableton. Have a trial, pirate if can't afford now.
Foss alternative - ardour is great, but you will have to bring your own plug in suit.
Yabridge tool can help you to run windows vsts on Linux, but not everything works. And beware - it does not work with flatpak version Bitwig, at least it did not.
I suspect a VM would introduce latency (big no no for music production), and I can't imagine getting ASIO working would be easy (though I've never tried it).
According to WineHQ, Ableton's compatibility with wine isn't stellar. FL Studio works quite well in it, but switching DAWs can be a pretty major undertaking.
For Linux native DAWs, Reaper and Bitwig are the two best options. Reaper is the most affordable at 60 bucks, with an infinite free trial.
It’s frustrating, considering that ableton’s push runs on Linux, but I never had a satisfactory, or comparable experience running it on a Linux desktop. To be honest, this was the dealbreaker that kept me using a Mac.
I personally reckon they're working on something YAbridge-esque to allow people to bring their VSTs to the push in standalone mode. If they can actually nail that, it's an absolute no brainer to then release a full Linux version of the DAW and finally allow people like me to make the switch
Every time I've tried to run Ableton on Linux over the years (most recently about Christmas last year), it's the VST support that lets me down. I've got hundreds of VSTs I've used in various projects over the past couple of decades and I can't switch unless I know they all work properly—projects not loading or sounding different is unacceptable. I need to be able to open anything I've worked on over the years and be able to get right into the creativity without tinkering, as that is what I already have today.
Until that day, I've got to begrudgingly keep windows around.
Yeah that sounds about right - VST is such an awful standard, and is only made worse by all the copy protection nonsense that companies pile on top of it. I wish there was an open standard that was cross-platform, portable and used PGP encryption for standard licencing, but alas, it's too late for that.
I can greatly recommend Reaper to you, in case Ableton + Wine doesn't work out.
I only recently got into music making as a hobby so my overall perspective might be limited, but other DAWs I tried included: * Ardour * Bitwig * LMMS * Zrythm
I settled with Reaper bc of it's customizability, freedom in workflow and cheap price without compromising in pro features. It's actually completely free as long as you are evaluating buying it, which is up to you for how long. And the customizability is off the charts compared to any other DAW.
But what really sold Reaper to me was the lack of hurdles that got into my way of learning to make music.
I started on abelton and moved to bitwig around 3.X and have been with it ever since.
I love all the different modules and the grid which has give me a lot more expressive control over my sounds.
they are similar yet different; I believe the core bitwig team were ex ableton devs who wanted to take things in a different direction.
I know it's silly but one of the biggest things that I like about bitwig is customizable shortcuts; this is especially good if you're coming from ableton because if your a shortcut key wizard you can easily remap similar functions.
if you've got an extensive VST collection you can run them with wine + yabridge.
Bitwig is not the only option, but coming from ableton if you want to run single boot it is the most similar (IMO) to Ableton.
Happy to answer any questions you may have about it as well.
There are several commercial options for Linux. The most-Ableton software out there is Bitwig Studio that has a Linux port. However, it's expensive. The cheapest commercial solution, with a bit of learning curve but powerful nonetheless, is Reaper.
However, if you want to go 100% open source, there's Ardour and LMMS (which is a lot like FL Studio). Ardour 9, which is expected by the end of the year, will be more MIDI-friendly than it used to be. LMMS latest git version (offered as binary on their site) has some good new features compared to their stable version, however, there's still no vst3 support.
I'm an visual artist and I used Photoshop for years to edit my hand-painted scanned paintings. When I moved to Linux, and Gimp3 was out, I was finally ready to leave Photoshop behind. Some features of Photoshop aren't there, but I was ready to leave them behind. Same with video, I used to have a rather popular blog about color grading with Resolve. I moved to kdenlive, which has none of these tools or plugins. It's a decision that I simply had to make. I wanted to use foss tools, and that was the price to pay. I'm cool with my decision.
If you gotta go commercial, go with Reaper. The people (a small team of 3 or 4 I believe) behind it are really cool, and they're doing it for the love of it, their profit is very small.
Yes, but you said you were using Resolve for color grading. My understanding is you should still be able to use that on Linux, but I haven’t tried it yet myself.
If you want to use Ableton, then Install it with wine, if you sandbox the prefix copy the VSTs inside the prefix and use them thru Ableton.
Some VSTs may not work or could have some graphical glitches. For example with Serum sometimes some widgets gets black until I pass hover with cursor. There is a fix for this which didn't work for me that's about disabling "d2d1.dll" and installing "gdiplus".
Otherwise you can use a Linux native DAW and use VSTs with wine. Check yabridge and LinVst.
I'd suggest no-one ever dual-boot Windows with anything. There are to many mishaps when Windows takes it into their head to fuck the bootloader.
Put the OS into a VM. If you only use Windows for one app put Windows into the VM. Otherwise put Linux into the VM until you find you're mostly using Linux.
I have set up a good hand full of dual booted Windows/ Linux machines. Never had any major issues. However, I also noticed that I only use Linux except for games and that's slowly changing, too, so I would suggest trying the dual boot if it makes you more comfortable to realize yourself that you don't need it.
Few weeks ago I have noticed that my Presonus account is offering me to download Studio One Pro 7, in deb or flatpak format. I use Linux desktop for everything except audio work (still use Windows machine for that) so when I checked my Presonus account from Linux box I was quite shocked.
Sadly, attempt to upload the image from the phone (using Boost app) doesn't work so I can't upload and can't be bothered to upload elsewhere then share URL, etc.
I couldn't get bothered to try installing it earlier since I don't want to run S1 on this box.
But just for the sake of it, I have now tried installing flatpak file and it completed.
I don't use flatpak much but trying to do...
flatpak run com.presonus.studioapp7
... failed with "Failed to connect to Wayland display".
I spent 0 seconds on reading about S1 Pro for Linux and have no intention to bother with it further but if you do use S1 on Windows you might have Linux download available as well. Give it a try if you are interested.
What exactly it requires to run, I have no idea.
But it is really surprising development.
Edit: hah, after i removed that flatpak i just installed, a notification popped up saying "Studio One is a Wayland application and won't run in X11 session."
The .wav format is actually very simple. You should be able to write a bash script to produce wavs without too much trouble. If you'd rather not work that low-level you can always use the DAW features in emacs.
I recently started playing around with Reaper on Linux. It's no different from it's windows counterpart. You can use something like yabridge to use third party VSTs. All I had to do was point it to my VST folder and viola, almost all of them work. The only problem I have is that none of them work graphically. The sound works and they render just fine but for some reason clicking on a knob or button is waaaay off. For example in Pro-Q, if I put the mouse by the top of the plugin the frequency knob will highlight like the mouse is on top of knob. Nothing happens if the mouse is actually on top. This may be a yabridge issue. Their GitHub does say Wine versions greater than 9.22 don't work. I'm on the latest Wine and haven't fucked with different versions yet. If the fix is that simple then the experience is no different for me at least. Otherwise I just have to use the UI-less mode where Reaper turns the plugins into a series of sliders you can adjust instead.
Like many others have suggested, you may want to try Bitwig. I understand that it's the alternative DAW that is the most similar to Ableton. The company was started by a group of ex-Ableton employees, so it's not a coincidence. Many people online feel that it's in general a better DAW than Ableton, so you may end up liking it. It supports Linux natively, even provides an official flatpak (or Ubuntu installer?)
It's not as expensive as some make it out to be, and it's on sale right now for a few more days. I just yesterday bought Bitwig Studio Essentials. They have 3 editions and Studio Essentials is the starter version, currently $79 (reg. $99). The next level up is Studio Producer, currently $149 (reg. $199), and the top level is just Studio, currently $299 (reg. $399). They also offer rent to own for $16/month for 25 months on Splice.
Oh, I marched to the battle of New Orleans At the end of the early British wars The young land started growing The young blood started flowing But I ain't a-marching anymore
Oh I killed my share of Injuns in a thousand different fights I was there at the Little Big Horn I heard many men a-lying I saw many more a-dying But I ain't a-marching anymore
It's always the old to lead us to the wars Always the young to fall Now look at what we've won with a saber and a gun Tell me is it worth it all?
For I stole California from the Mexican land Fought in the bloody Civil War Yes, I even killed my brothers And so many others But I ain't a-marching anymore
For I marched to the battle of the German trench In a war that was bound to end all wars Oh I must have killed a million men And now they want me back again But I ain't a-marching anymore
It's always the old to lead us to the wars Always the young to fall Now look at what we've won with a saber and a gun Tell me is it worth it all?
For I flew the final mission in the Japanese sky Set off the mighty mushroom roar But I saw the cities burnin' And I knew that I was learnin' That I ain't a-marching anymore
Now the labor leader's screamin' when they closed the missile plant United Fruit screams at the Cuban shore Call it peace or call it treason Call it love or call it reason But I ain't a-marching anymore I ain't a-marching anymore

Today is the final day of #SCOTUS’ term — & the justices have left some of the most important & contentious cases until the end.
They are slated to release 6 opinions, including decisions that will deal with nationwide #injunctions on #Trump’s ban on #BirthrightCitizenship, whether #parents can opt their children out of #school lessons involving #LGBTQ #books, & a #Texas #law that requires age verification to view online #porn.
#FreeSpeech Coalition v. Paxton — #Texas law that requires #porn sites to verify age.
#FCC v. Consumers’ Research — consumer *protection* group devoted to fighting “#woke” corporations contends that E-Rate phone & internet subsidies for #LowIncome communities violates the #nondelegation doctrine
Friday, June 26, is the Supreme Court’s final day of issuing opinions on the merits docket for the 2024-25 term. The court has six cases left to decide, on topics ranging from the […]
#Louisiana v. Callais — a 2022 map w/ 1 majority-Black district was ruled to violate the #VotingRightsAct. The new map, drawn w/ 2 majority-Black districts, was challenged by a group describing themselves as “non-African American” who contend it was unconstitutional racial #gerrymandering. The state says it drew the map not due to #race but to protect #Republican incumbents, such as #House Speaker #MikeJohnson & Rep Julia Letlow, who sits on the House #Appropriations Cmte.
Regarding #Trump v. CASA — The case BEGAN as a challenge to Trump’s ban on #BirthrightCitizenship, but #SCOTUS is instead weighing an emergency appeal by the administration on a different question:
Do federal district #courts have the #authority to issue nationwide injunctions?
From the opinion of the court: The principal dissent’s analysis of the #ExecutiveOrder is premature because the #BirthrightCitizenship issue is not before us. [excuses excuses]
Justice #Sotomayor dissents, in an opinion joined by #Kagan & #Jackson. Jackson also has a separate dissent.
From near the conclusion of Justice Barrett's opinion for the Court, on behalf of the 6 conservatives:
"#FederalCourts do not exercise general #oversight of the #ExecutiveBranch; they resolve cases & controversies consistent with the authority #Congress has given them. When a court concludes that the Executive Branch has acted unlawfully, the answer is not for the court to exceed its #power, too."
First, #ClarenceThomas has a concurring opinion in which he stresses that #SCOTUS "today puts an end to the 'increasingly common' practice of federal courts issuing universal injunctions."
#Alito too has a concurring opinion in which he notes that the court does not resolve two issues that "potentially threaten the practical significance of today's decision: the availability of third-party standing & class certification."
#Alito says that the "Court does not address the weighty issue whether the state plaintiffs have third-party standing to assert the #Citizenship Clause claims of their individual residents."
#Barrett, in her opinion, specifically goes after Justice #Jackson: "We observe only this: Justice Jackson decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial judiciary.”
#Alito says next that the ruling "will have very little value if district courts award relief to broadly defined classes without following" the procedural protections for class certification.
District courts are going to have to start certifying classes now [#ClassAction].
#Kavanaugh's concurring opinion notes that district courts do not have the last word on preliminary #injunction requests -- courts of #appeals & #SCOTUS can also weigh in, & "that order of operations will not change." [which is why they should have the ability to apply nationwide & the power to rule an executive action is illegal. FFS]
#Sotomayor contends that the #Trump admin DID NOT ASK the court to completely block the lower court orders because it would have to show that the order is probably constitutional, which it can't do, she says. "The gamesmanship in this request is apparent & the Government makes no attempt to hide it. Yet, shamefully, this Court plays along."
This gets at the "merits" of the #BirthrightCitizenship issue (the focus was universal injunctions).
#Barrett writes that "prohibiting enforcement of the #ExecutiveOrder againast the child of an individual pregnant plaintiff will give that plaintiff complete relief. Her child will not be denied citizenship. Extending the injunction to cover all other similarly situated individuals would not render her relief any more complete."
[but it’ll stop the courts from having to hear thousands of cases on the same issue - it’s called upholding an existing #law]
The court holds today that the appointment of the task force members is consistent with the Constitution.
Specifically the court rules that task force members can be removed at will by the Secretary of #HHS, & their recommendations about preventive services are reviewaable by the secretary before they take effect.
#Kavanaugh writes majority opinion. #ClarenceThomas dissents. He contends that the majority erroneously relied on a new theory that the government "invented" on appeal.
It holds that neither #Congress's delegation of #power to the FCC or the FCC's delegation of power to the private corporation violated a theory known as the #nondelegation doctrine.
#Kagan writes: "Under our #nondelegation precedents, #Congress sufficiently guided & constrained the discretion that it lodged with the #FCC to implement the universal-service contribution scheme. And the FCC, in turn, has retained all decision-making authority within that sphere, relying on the ‘corporation’ only for nonbinding advice. Nothing in those arrangements, either separately or together, violates the Constitution."
Gorsuch writes that the majority's ruling "defies the #Constitution's command that #Congress 'may not transfer to another branch 'powers that are strictly & exclusively legislative.'" #Gorsuch also contends that "even as the Court swallows a delegation beyond anything yet seen in the U.S. Reports, it also signals, unmistakably, that there are some abdications of congressional authority, including in the very statute before us, that the present majority isn't prepared to stomach."
#Sotomayor dissent joined by #Kagan & #Jackson: “The reverberations of the Court’s error will be felt, I fear, for generations. Unable to condone that grave misjudgment, I dissent.”
"We have long recognized the rights of parents to direct 'the #religious upbringing' of their children. And we have held that those rights are violated by government policies that substantially interfere with the religious development of children."
“Based on the record before us, the Board's introduction of the LGBTQ themed storybooks & the failure to provide notice & opt-out options for parents meets that test: it does interfere with the children's religious development & imposes a burden on #religious exercise.”
The board had argued that the #curriculum & no-opt-out policy "serve its compelling interest in 'maintaining a school environment that is safe & conducive to learning for all students."
The court agrees with this "as a general matter," but it notes that the board allows opt-outs for other reasons, suggesting that opt-outs are not actually unworkable.
Strange, #SCOTUS says that they are not going to decide #Louisiana v. Callais, the #VotingRightsAct #gerrymandering case, but instead they are requesting further argument. "In due course," it will "issue an order scheduling argument & specifying any additional questions to be addressed in supplemental briefing."
#ClarenceThomas dissents from the decision to have reargument in Louisiana v. Callais.
#SCOTUS rejected arguments from the porn industry that the law violates the #FirstAmendment rights of adults to access explicit content online because it required users to share identifying information that could be sold, misused or hacked.
During oral arguments in January Justices indicated the landscape of the porn industry had rapidly transformed since the court last issued a major decision dealing with explicit material, about 20 years ago. Today, porn sites & smartphones allow easy access to adult content. "We’re in an entirely different world,” #ClarenceThomas said. “Playboy was about squiggly lines on cable TV.” [he definitely knows]
The #Texas #law requires age verification for any site where more than one-third of the content is sexual material “harmful to minors.” Users must submit digital #identification, a government-issued ID or other forms of proof that they are 18 or older. The law bars the sites from retaining identifying #information, but it does allow them to transfer the #data for verification purposes.
In response to statutes in #Texas & elsewhere, #Pornhub cut off service to states requiring #AgeVerification. The #porn industry plaintiffs, who formed an association called the #FreeSpeech Coalition, sued to block the TX #law before it went into effect in 2023. Derek L. Shaffer, an attorney for the coalition, argued the lower court ruling allowing the law could “open the door to an emerging wave of #regulations that imperil #FreeSpeech online.”
Shaffer told the justices that young people should be block from accessing #porn, but there were less intrusive ways of doing that than #AgeVerification. He suggested educating parents & using content-filtering software were better routes, but Justice Amy Coney #Barrett pushed back on that, citing her own children. #privacy #Texas #law #SCOTUS #FirstAmendment 🧵
“Kids can get online porn through gaming systems, tablets, phones, computers,” Justice Amy Coney #Barrett said. “Let me just say that content-filtering for all those different devices, I can say from personal experience, is difficult to keep up with.”
Another section of the #law, which was blocked by a lower court, requires sites to post “sexual material health warnings” that make widely disputed claims that pornography is “potentially biologically addictive” & “proven to harm brain development.” Sites that violate the law face fines of up to $10,000 a day.
The very short summary of the ruling in #FreeSpeech Coalition v. Paxton: "The power to require age verification is within a State's authority to prevent children from accessing sexually explicit content."
The court says that the #Texas #law "simply requires proof of age to access content that is obscene to minors" & therefore "does not directly regulate the protected speech of adults."
The court doesn’t seem to have considered the violation of #privacy implications .
#Trump says he will ‘promptly file’ to push policies after blocked by courts after #SupremeCourt decision
Speaking from the White House, Trump said he would try to advance restrictions on #BirthrightCitizenship & other policies that had been blocked by district courts.
#Trump: "Thanks to this decision, we can now promptly file to proceed with numerous policies that have been wrongly enjoined on a nationwide basis, and some of the cases we're talking about would be ending birthright citizenship, which now comes to the fore. That was meant for the babies of slaves."
And, just note that the Constitution *does* say the purpose of the 2nd Amendment is to maintain a “well-regulated militia”…you know, if we’re going by intent…
🤮. There goes the constitution and the USA as an entity. I guess it will now divide into individual states, each with their own laws and interpretations. With some of those rulings today, that’s what I interpret from it.
Unfortunately, there is no federal law protecting the privacy of adults using porn sites. And it could be argued that proof of age is consistent with COPPA.
Opts outs for "I'm a bigot" are, in fact, unworkable, tho. You should be allowed to opt out of LGBTQ+ reading any more than you should be able to opt out of reading about people who aren't white or male.
Schools could send a latter to parents at the start of the year with all dates they'll be using LGBT+ books so they can opt their kids out, and then ensure there is something LGBT+ in every lesson.
One other note: this will EXPLODE the number of class action lawsuits. Because it will REQUIRE them in order to get injunctions against unconstitutional laws or illegal government actions.
Other than lawyers, who in the world wants MORE class action lawsuits?

"Il semble que nos dirigeants, ici dans l'Occident « libéral », aient trouvé un nouveau moyen de transformer une personne en non-personne.
Voici un homme, Hüseyin #Doğru, journaliste allemand (d'origine turque, mais sans double nationalité) que les autorités européennes ont puni d'une manière inédite et extrêmement cruelle pour ses reportages et ses opinions sur la #Palestine.
Les autorités allemandes ont tiré les leçons de mon cas. Ne souhaitant pas avoir à répondre devant les tribunaux de toute interdiction des voix pro-palestiniennes (à l'instar du procès que je leur intente actuellement), elles ont trouvé un autre moyen : une sanction directe de l' #UE utilisant une directive jusqu'alors inutilisée, introduite au début de la guerre en #Ukraine, qui permet à Bruxelles de sanctionner tout citoyen de l'UE qu'elle estime travailler pour les intérêts russes. S'accrochant à l'argument selon lequel le site web/podcast de Hüseyin était également diffusé sur Ruptly (entre autres plateformes), elles utilisent cette directive visant les « actifs anti-russes » pour détruire un journaliste qui a osé s'opposer au génocide palestinien.
Concrètement, cela signifie que le compte bancaire de Hüseyin est gelé ; que si vous ou moi lui donnions de l'argent pour acheter des provisions ou payer son loyer, nous serions considérés comme ses complices et soumis à des sanctions similaires ; cela signifie également que s'il était fonctionnaire, il serait licencié ; s'il était étudiant, il serait expulsé de son université ; s'il percevait une pension, celle-ci serait suspendue ; s'il percevait des prestations sociales, celles-ci seraient gelées. Cela signifie également, de manière étonnante, qu'il ne peut pas quitter l'Allemagne !
Enfin, et ce n'est pas le moins important, cela signifie que Hüseyin ne peut pas poursuivre son gouvernement pour l'avoir transformé en non-personne, mais seulement contester la Commission européenne à Bruxelles – où il n'est même pas autorisé à se rendre !
Dois-je en dire plus ? N'est-il pas évident que nous vivons aujourd'hui dans une #Europe nominalement libérale où, en un clin d'œil, vos droits politiques et humains peuvent être révoqués, y compris votre droit de contester votre gouvernement devant un tribunal ?" -- Yanis #Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis

Tiranı koruyan silahlar değil, onu destekleyen ve bütün ülkenin ona kul olmasını sağlayan üç beş kişidir. Başta inanması zor gelse de bu harfiyen doğrudur. Bu beş altı kişi her zaman tiranın gözüne girer, ona yaklaşır ve bizzat tiranın kendisi onları zulümlerinin ortağı, zevküsefalarının yareni, pis ahlaksızlıklarının pezevengi, yağmalarının yardakçısı olmaya davet eder. Bu altı kişi, reislerini öyle iyi idare ederler ki tiran, topluma yalnızca kendi kötülüğüyle değil onların aracılığıyla da zulmeder. Bu altı kişinin altında da saygın yerlere getirip beslediği altı bin kişi bulunur. Cimriliklerini yahut zalimliklerini gözetmeleri, emirlerini vaktinde yerine getirmeleri, dört bir yanında kötülük etmeleri için bu altı bin kişiyi eyaletlerin yahut mali işlerin başına getirirler. Böylece bu kişiler, yalnızca onların himayesi altındayken varlıklarını sürdürebilir yahut kanunlardan ve cezalardan muaf tutulabilir.
One of my least favorite items to find is the infamous 'spicy pillow'. When lithium batteries start to fail, gasses build up inside the cells and they expand. Because the breakdown process produces both it's own fuel and oxygen, they can explode or catch fire, at which point the fire is almost impossible to extinguish. They'll even burn in an airtight container or completely underwater.

🌊 China Launches Amphibious Assault Drills in South China Sea
China’s People’s Liberation Army launched large-scale amphibious assault drills in the South China Sea on June 27 under the Eastern Theater Command.
Training included air-cushion landing craft operations, live-fire wave assaults, and ship-to-shore maneuvers under “complex conditions,” according to footage released on social media.
The exercises follow recent Australia–UK freedom of navigation operations in the region and are viewed as a clear signal of China’s expanding capability to conduct offshore amphibious landings far from its home coast.

>doesn't want his work to be "mainstream." Kojima I'm sorry it's 27 years too late to attempt to pull this. Turns out making one of the games that becomes an icon for a specific generation of titles and franchise that is commonly considered at the peak of video games may make this hard.
Death Stranding may not be exactly the same type of mainstream but it's still mostly appealing to people who like big name Hollywood actors in their games.
@Iffine games, the man hasn't made a game since mgs5. Stranding is a glorified walking simulator and movie game. It's not even a game. It's a really retarded attempt to make a interactive medium into a inactive medium like a movie. It's stupid and gay.

The reason that the United States Empire throws its resources toward indoctrinating people into believing that socialism and communism are nemeses, is not because the U.S. cares about people being oppressed.
The U.S. does that itself and is at the forefront of oppressing people around the world.
It is because socialism and communism are direct threats to capitalist colonialism, which is the system that the U.S. uses to oppress. Empire cannot exist if it cannot oppress.
Explore every possibility that Empire told you not to.

in reply to Jeena • • •Not too long ago I broke down a the costs between Ableton and bitwig, and they are quite similar over time.
Ableton has the big #'rd updates where as bitwig you get all updates within a year from license activation.
Since BW will still run after the license runs out (you just cant update to any new versions) I don't always update until there is a new feature that I want to work with drops in an update.
I also limit purchasing licenses to sale periods as a license can sit on the shelf until you're ready to activate it - this significantly reduced the cost for me.
I think there are other ways to go about this though on the vast sea of the net if your sails catch the wind right ;). If you're making stuff for fun and not for profit I think everyone should have access to creative tools.
If you make money than it's worth considering sending some. money their way. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

in reply to Capitanmaroon • • •I haven't personally used Ableton ever but am a hobbying musician, and pro-audio is possible on Linux as well as running non-native applications via Wine. I found this just searching, there's apparently a Discord group also dedicated to this project.
Usually doing a web search like "xyz windows program+linux" will produce results, and putting in your distro name will produce better. Anyway, good luck on your journey!

in reply to Capitanmaroon • • •Dual booting is a hassle but afaik it's the least difficult way to go.

in reply to Capitanmaroon • • •I am a hobbyist and was using ableton live before. As mentioned by others, unless you dual boot - try bitwig studio for similar experience. It is from people who worked in ableton. Have a trial, pirate if can't afford now.
Foss alternative - ardour is great, but you will have to bring your own plug in suit.
Yabridge tool can help you to run windows vsts on Linux, but not everything works. And beware - it does not work with flatpak version Bitwig, at least it did not.

There's also lmms, ardour, Bitwig and reaper with native Linux builds

in reply to Capitanmaroon • • •According to WineHQ, Ableton's compatibility with wine isn't stellar. FL Studio works quite well in it, but switching DAWs can be a pretty major undertaking.
For Linux native DAWs, Reaper and Bitwig are the two best options. Reaper is the most affordable at 60 bucks, with an infinite free trial.

in reply to a1studmuffin • • •I assume this is coming at some point, tbh
I personally reckon they're working on something YAbridge-esque to allow people to bring their VSTs to the push in standalone mode. If they can actually nail that, it's an absolute no brainer to then release a full Linux version of the DAW and finally allow people like me to make the switch
Every time I've tried to run Ableton on Linux over the years (most recently about Christmas last year), it's the VST support that lets me down. I've got hundreds of VSTs I've used in various projects over the past couple of decades and I can't switch unless I know they all work properly—projects not loading or sounding different is unacceptable. I need to be able to open anything I've worked on over the years and be able to get right into the creativity without tinkering, as that is what I already have today.
Until that day, I've got to begrudgingly keep windows around.

in reply to Capitanmaroon • • •I can greatly recommend Reaper to you, in case Ableton + Wine doesn't work out.
I only recently got into music making as a hobby so my overall perspective might be limited, but other DAWs I tried included:
* Ardour
* Bitwig
* LMMS
* Zrythm
I settled with Reaper bc of it's customizability, freedom in workflow and cheap price without compromising in pro features. It's actually completely free as long as you are evaluating buying it, which is up to you for how long. And the customizability is off the charts compared to any other DAW.
But what really sold Reaper to me was the lack of hurdles that got into my way of learning to make music.
Have fun

in reply to Capitanmaroon • • •Someone in here mentioned bitwig.
I started on abelton and moved to bitwig around 3.X and have been with it ever since.
I love all the different modules and the grid which has give me a lot more expressive control over my sounds.
they are similar yet different; I believe the core bitwig team were ex ableton devs who wanted to take things in a different direction.
I know it's silly but one of the biggest things that I like about bitwig is customizable shortcuts; this is especially good if you're coming from ableton because if your a shortcut key wizard you can easily remap similar functions.
if you've got an extensive VST collection you can run them with wine + yabridge.
Bitwig is not the only option, but coming from ableton if you want to run single boot it is the most similar (IMO) to Ableton.
Happy to answer any questions you may have about it as well.

in reply to Capitanmaroon • • •There are several commercial options for Linux. The most-Ableton software out there is Bitwig Studio that has a Linux port. However, it's expensive. The cheapest commercial solution, with a bit of learning curve but powerful nonetheless, is Reaper.
However, if you want to go 100% open source, there's Ardour and LMMS (which is a lot like FL Studio). Ardour 9, which is expected by the end of the year, will be more MIDI-friendly than it used to be. LMMS latest git version (offered as binary on their site) has some good new features compared to their stable version, however, there's still no vst3 support.
I'm an visual artist and I used Photoshop for years to edit my hand-painted scanned paintings. When I moved to Linux, and Gimp3 was out, I was finally ready to leave Photoshop behind. Some features of Photoshop aren't there, but I was ready to leave them behind. Same with video, I used to have a rather popular blog about color grading with Resolve. I moved to kdenlive, which has none of these tools or plugins. It's a decision that I simply had to make. I wanted to use foss tools, and that was the price to pay. I'm cool with my decision.
If you gotta go commercial, go with Reaper. The people (a small team of 3 or 4 I believe) behind it are really cool, and they're doing it for the love of it, their profit is very small.

in reply to xtapa • • •If you want to use Ableton, then Install it with wine, if you sandbox the prefix copy the VSTs inside the prefix and use them thru Ableton.
Some VSTs may not work or could have some graphical glitches. For example with Serum sometimes some widgets gets black until I pass hover with cursor. There is a fix for this which didn't work for me that's about disabling "d2d1.dll" and installing "gdiplus".
Otherwise you can use a Linux native DAW and use VSTs with wine. Check yabridge and LinVst.

in reply to Capitanmaroon • • •I'd suggest no-one ever dual-boot Windows with anything. There are to many mishaps when Windows takes it into their head to fuck the bootloader.
Put the OS into a VM. If you only use Windows for one app put Windows into the VM. Otherwise put Linux into the VM until you find you're mostly using Linux.
Unless you have an old PC laying around ..

in reply to Capitanmaroon • • •Few weeks ago I have noticed that my Presonus account is offering me to download Studio One Pro 7, in deb or flatpak format. I use Linux desktop for everything except audio work (still use Windows machine for that) so when I checked my Presonus account from Linux box I was quite shocked.
Sadly, attempt to upload the image from the phone (using Boost app) doesn't work so I can't upload and can't be bothered to upload elsewhere then share URL, etc.
I couldn't get bothered to try installing it earlier since I don't want to run S1 on this box.
But just for the sake of it, I have now tried installing flatpak file and it completed.
I don't use flatpak much but trying to do...
flatpak run com.presonus.studioapp7
... failed with "Failed to connect to Wayland display".
I spent 0 seconds on reading about S1 Pro for Linux and have no intention to bother with it further but if you do use S1 on Windows you might have Linux download available as well. Give it a try if you are interested.
What exactly it requires to run, I have no idea.
But it is really surprising development.
Edit: hah, after i removed that flatpak i just installed, a notification popped up saying "Studio One is a Wayland application and won't run in X11 session."

in reply to Capitanmaroon • • •Like many others have suggested, you may want to try Bitwig. I understand that it's the alternative DAW that is the most similar to Ableton. The company was started by a group of ex-Ableton employees, so it's not a coincidence. Many people online feel that it's in general a better DAW than Ableton, so you may end up liking it. It supports Linux natively, even provides an official flatpak (or Ubuntu installer?)
It's not as expensive as some make it out to be, and it's on sale right now for a few more days. I just yesterday bought Bitwig Studio Essentials. They have 3 editions and Studio Essentials is the starter version, currently $79 (reg. $99). The next level up is Studio Producer, currently $149 (reg. $199), and the top level is just Studio, currently $299 (reg. $399). They also offer rent to own for $16/month for 25 months on Splice.
