If you are working on cool #opensource projects, or you're an indie #gamedev, I want to share your work.
If you're addicted to #music (rock, indie, punk, emo, etc), I want to recommend amazing new tracks and listen to your suggestions. (maybe even share some mixtapes...)
If you're working to make desktop #Linux better, I'd love to know about it.
Let me know you're out there. I'll follow you back and try to boost your signal.
@killyourfm I am a computer science researcher and developer, but I also mix music and even produce (all in Linux).
At my company we even contribute to open source projects :)
@abde Nice! What do you use for music production on Linux?
@killyourfm I tried Ardour at the time but unluckily didn't meet my needs, so for the moment I am using Bitwig Studio (not open source).
I hope there will be an alternative ableton-like software in the future!
@abde Yep. Bitwig was the only one that really felt comfortable and versatile enough for me to use (as someone who relies mainly on Logic Pro for macOS).
It doesn't hurt that the interface is gorgeous.
@killyourfm Yes, while I find it quite expensive, for me it's worth it as the time playing with parameters in Bitwig is really reduced by its confortable interface.
When I work in music/art I want to keep apart my computer science side and just focus on creating, so that is really helpful.
It also is really well maintained for the moment. Big updates each 2-3 months.
@killyourfm Glad to meet you then, we have the same mindset 😋
I'm really loving mastodon. The interaction between people with similar interests is really fluid.
@abde You nailed something really important: time spent creating should only be spent creating, and not troubleshooting or worrying about technical hiccups.
