So I am finally putting in the effort to move over my music production suite to my linux PC, and genuinely this is just better than windows audio. The only thing I have not been able to replicate is how ASIO would bypass system volume.
This was useful because it allowed me to keep my audio workflow and everything else balanced seperately.
It was also really useful in foobar2000 (now replaced with the much nicer fooyin) because of replay gain. Replay gain would keep each song in the same loudness range allowing me to set my desired volume with my audio interfaces physical knob.
Now if I want to replicate this workflow I need to max out the system volume which removes the ability to quickly equalize the two workflows.
I hope I described this in an understandable way.
I use Fedora KDE 44 with the audio group installed (so jack and pipewire)
I’m also in the process of moving my music production (composition, DJing, editing, a little bit of sound design for video) to Linux. Just curious: what software and interfaces are you using? What’s worked well for you and what hasn’t?
I might not be the best to ask for this, what I do is just recording live sounds and then using plugins to mix and master them. On linux I use Ardour to record and also to host the LSP plugins. I don’t really work with midi at all and just compose on instruments so IDK what is good for those.
