Great overview! After plenty of research I am going to give LSP a try. Just the right timing since I am playing around with Ardour instead of Reaper now.
#Gitlab is even more exclusive than #Github. I can’t even view that page. Could you please post the text here? Or perhaps mirror it to an open forge from this list:
https://git.sdf.org/humanacollaborator/humanacollabora/src/branch/master/forge_comparison.md
?
JS disabled/running LibreJS or something? Yeah, gitlab sucks for this. You can read the plain text version here https://gitlab.com/nodiscc/awesome-linuxaudio/-/raw/master/README.md.
There are also mirrors on https://salsa.debian.org/nodiscc/awesome-linuxaudio and https://github.com/nodiscc/awesome-linuxaudio - but I see these instances are also blacklisted on the doc you linked :) (interesting read, will have another look later, I somehow agree that the situation with obfuscated JS and/or non-free forges is bad).
I’m working on an automatic export to plain HTML, no JS needed, however it will take some time, I will post it when it’s ready.
Thanks for the alternatives. Those work for me because they are not pushing a (broken) #CAPTCHA.
Awesome list, I’ll definitely be checking these out. Do you have any favourites?
It’s been a while since I didn’t have time to do serious audio work on Linux :/ But I used to use a mix of audacity, calf-plugins, ardour, tal-plugins, mixxx, drumkv1, hydrogen, synthv1, VCV rack, samplv1. I did a bit of lighting with QLC+, very basic video editing with Openshot. Got briefly into Blender and loved it. Plus a bunch of utilities (qwinff, jack-related stuff, I did never find a proper way to save/restore sessions/plugins/patchbays though), and media players (currently use quodlibet/vlc/mpv).
I want to get into Bitwig since I’m a former Ableton Live user, but the license is sooooo expensive.
You can dip in with the essentials package for €80 though (perhaps even this is the type of thing they bundle with stuff so you might find a free licence key for it somewhere). They might also offer a crossgrade price if you contact them. I got a great crossgrade offer from Presonus when I decided to start using Studio One. I just had to prove my ownership of another DAW (I sent them a Reason 10 receipt I think).
