Mpd and Cantata. Deadbeef for playing from a directory or for conversation. I haven’t found anything as good as cantata but I have to admit that I miss the monolithic and do everything of musicbee.

Yes, it is. ‘loudness’ of an action has no correlation with how serious it was.

They can be dropped into local directories, assuming the devs provide binaries, otherwise they need building. I know it’s not difficult to git clone and build but it’s not really a beginner friendly process and not ideal to have to remember to check for updates (and not ideal to not have them packaged for updates if there are binaries provided by the devs). I was considering using 10 years ago or so and this was one of the main reasons I decided against it in the end (along with other audio tools not having packages), it’s a shame it hasn’t really moved forward in this respect because it looked really nice otherwise.

Those Tukan plugins are not VSTs, they are reaper specific plugins.

I have no idea about Bottles but most people use yabridge these days which is really easy to use and works very well.

Yes. LV2 and VST3

AV Linux is pretty damn good.

I would say Arch because the AUR is amazing and Arch all around is so good but you’ll need to be making a lot of decisions during install that you know nothing about. If you want to learn then I think it’s the best overall.

Last time I looked there were not enough plugins available for it to be good for a beginner wanting to use it for audio.

Wouldn’t this benefit everyone? Presumably the implications are far wider and more important than who makes the most profit from it.

Awesome, so happy to see things progressing with this!

Love a bit of kit

It’s crazy that you have to explain this in such a basic way but it’s still ignored/denied/misunderstood.

How long does it last, a couple of days?

I like Infinity and good idea about the symbol

That’s a good way to put it. Something so comforting to use it again.

Pretty sure the original did so this should to

He didn’t and this is the whole point of open source.

Wait, infinity if coming to Lemmy?

I drove through it once, looked rough as shit.

Am I missing something? What gatekeeping?

What are the great android apps for photoprism? Last time I looked there were two unofficial ones which were both not great and neither allowed you to upload from.
