Everything else is a breeze nowadays in it but don't you fucking dare being a Musician with low latency audio needs.
Why is music production still such a CLUSTERFUCK in Linux?

Because touchy feely types hate computers, and therefore don't have any reason to care about GNU/Linux, or free software in general. Hell, most of them don't even use Windows.

Jow Forums is the right board for music production discussions.
/mu/ is literally only 0 to 1 reply "music for that feel??" threads that get flushed off the board by similar threads in 10 minutes.

why do you need low latency? you're probably just producing wrong
Dylan Johnson
Everything is a clusterfuck in Linux. Read 'The Cathedral and the Bazaar'

Use Logic Pro X
He means input latency when recording. It is noticeable through the generic PulseAudio/ALSA stack

Ubuntu Studio.
Done.

It's shit, I know.
I just dual boot for ableton

would annoy me to hell

>u-he actually have linux builds for their synths
genuinely surprised. never looked into what vst support for linux is like before - i always imagined it would be a barren wasteland.

apt-get remove alsa
apt-get purge pulse
apt-get install jackd

because the intersection of the set of people that can program, the set of people that are musicians, the set of people that use linux, and the set of people who care enough to write music software in linux contains very few members.

apt-get is deprecated.
just use apt now.

Fuck you zoomer, I'm old.

congrats, most of your audio isn't working anymore now
Benjamin King
pacman -R pulseaudio
useradd -g realtime username
pacman -S linux-rt
pacman -S jack
Owen Evans
>low latency audio needs
what's wrong with JACK?
Chase Long
Can someone give me a history as to why Linux audio is terrible?
Zachary Nguyen
It's shit, now that i've got linux I can't use my soundcard because muh drivers, so yeah just go back to windows and hope that something changes in the near future.

If you produce music “on the go” with shitty usb equipment you’re just an amateur poser so I won’t even bother reading your complaints
Adam Sanchez
>muh latency
just use a realtime kernel you retard

sudo apt install ubuntustudio-audio

This. Jack audio allows your input stream to go from one program to another with minimal latency. The only problem is, you have to reconfigure just about all of your system's sound stack.
Ubuntu and Fedora have "Studio" versions with most of this shit preconfigured.
