Bitwig Studio! Made from former Ableton devs so it's similar but the workflow is amazing for modulation and sound design. Plus Linux support. Not free but you can rent-to-own via splice (you do not need an active splice sounds sub).

!bitwig@lemmy.studio

Edit: oh and it can also sandbox your plugins (either individually, by company, or all together) so having a vst crash doesn't bring down your whole project.

Shooting for an EP this year.

Not as much as when I started bass.

I'm a big Bowie (and Nirvana) fan so that's definitely near the top of the list. I'll need to listen to some Explosions in the Sky.

What's the electric equivalent (or bass)?

I love Bitwig. Linux support too!

!bitwig@lemmy.studio is dead but I'm hoping to change that soon!

You and I alone.

Thank you.

probably

Not bad, I've been playing bass on and off for a bit so I'm used to it

@allo@sh.itjust.works

Can I get in on this?

Or at least hear some?

It Bitwig I'd probably group them together and use macro pages

Hey, thanks for the instance. Is anyone else unable to visit the site via their browser at the moment? Is there a Matrix channel or something we could check for status updates in the future?

Firefox and Samsung internet on Android aren't working for me right now. Was fine a few hours ago.

Just tried on desktop (Firefox) and I'm getting the same issue. I was able to get in using a custom frontend though. Must be a lemmyui problem? Since the instance is still accessible otherwise.

Hell yeah, not much activity yet but I made !bitwig@lemmy.studio

Sorry for the late reply.

It depends on the day. I really like synthesizers but I do like to bounce and resample whatever I'm doing over and over. And recently I like throwing the result in Amigo and or sometimes just a break, and modulate from there.

I should post more. Skip through this.

Bitwig as a DAW is itself a modular synth, so I can get lost in that pretty easily. Here's a recent bounce.

Its all pretty directionless lol but it makes great material for chopping.

Hey! There's (slightly) more activity over at !bitwig@lemmy.studio

Good to see more of us Bitwig users on the fediverse!

I really like it. I saw Kraftwerk using it live and they know what they're doing. I actually picked up one like yours second hand as a backup but haven't felt the need to try it.

Edit: video of a live performance, not in person unfortunately

No, but it does tie in to my goals. It's a gap in my arsenal that I have wanted fill for some time. But it is a lower tier priority instrument for me so good question. Probably on a the backburner in a few months?

I practiced acoustic a couple years ago for maybe a month or two before deciding to pursue other music knowledge. I have been practicing bass a bit recently which in hindsight probably counts as an electric guitar.

But this is my first time holding and plugging in an actual 6 string.

Edit: but I'm basically starting from scratch when it comes to remembering or knowing how to play any chords, etc. Luckily I have learned some theory since then.

I know it too. I've been honing my sound for a few years now. It's the doing thats tougher.

This year I'm trying to be more disciplined instead of getting lost in sound design or something and starting a new project. Need to dedicate sessions to different specific aspects of the process more often. Also need to decide if it's worth seeing if I'm able to focus on a specific sonic style for a whole project or just accept that my diverse influences are going to inevitably lead to a somewhat disjointed work.

Edit: but I appreciate your words, sincerely, outside motivation goes a long way.

Have you tried Bitwig?
