I’m glad the option is available, but I still suggest people try using Reaper over Studio One. More powerful and more affordable.
Yes I also suggest Ardour over other DAWs. :-]
Im really very much just doing music production as a hobby, but even then ardour has some annoyances that make me look for an alternative
I’ve been using Ableton for 3 years and nobody has mentioned it yet. I got the 90 trial of the Suite edition and haven’t looked back.
Ableton doesnt have a linux version right?
It does (Ableton’s Push runs Live on Linux) but unfortunately it is not available to the public yet.
I would literally have no reason to stay on mac/windows if Ableton/max released Linux versions
Same, the entire reason I’m still using Windows is for Max
I like Reaper and LMMS personally but more competition is always good.
I’m a Bitwig fanboy 4 life. This DAW blows me away and it being on Linux was one of the main reasons for me to leave Windows.
Damn. This is basically one of 2 reasons I still dual boot. My Studio One 5 install and FiveM. Gave me one less reason to keep Windows around.
Unfortunately most plugins don’t work on linux though. Hopefully that will change too. Bitwig is another amazing DAW that does have a linux version. You can even install it via flathub!
Reaper is another great DAW with a Linux version
Me too. I’m looking forward to giving this Linux release a spin!
Wow, didn’t expect a company like ProSonus to do something like this, this is a big deal! Tbh hadn’t heard of Studio One but Linux is getting noticed in the audio world, this is a great sign. You can claw Ardour from my cold dead hands but it’s always great to see more software brought to Linux and always up for trying a new DAW.
This is amazing news! I just hope they add all the currently missing features so that the Linux version will be on par with the other platforms they support. When I read the release notes it sounded more like an alpha than a beta version.
What’s with all the people here simping for proprietary software? Have you learned nothing while switching to Linux? What’s the reason you switched away from Windows or Mac in the first place? You could’ve very well stayed there if you don’t care about the FOSS philosophy and it’s advantages.
Not everyone is a FOSS maximalist.
Imo multi-billion dollar companies are the big problem, because they often have monopolies and will use them to push crap down our throats. Much smaller companies can still offer good software and support, and they are sometimes the only viable option. I’d prefer it if everything was open-source of course, but that’s just not how the world works right now.
For me, the base OS must remain free (at least mostly), the software can be proprietary.
It’s easy to move to different software, it’s difficult to switch platforms. You need a platform you know you can trust.
I’m on Linux because I like the experience and the control the base OS gives me. I still need my tools to make me money, and I pay for plenty of software that makes my life just a little bit easier so I can turn in work quicker and make a profit faster. Business expense.
I don’t want any of your proprietary software on my system.
Don’t install it then - easy!
Can we ban posts promoting the use of proprietary software?
