Is there a worse predicament?

Write your own audio software or modify a pre-existing one..
>>55566781
Don't fall for the Linux meme, it's for hobbyists
Not being a hack and being able to produce music without copious help from computers?
>>55566781
There aren't very many electronic musicians who can write their own musical software stack.
You could be the first.
>>55566781
Sounds like you need to get hardware, just like the old days. Get a MPC machine or something

>aluminium laptops are murder
they pollute the environment for no reason and kill the natural ecosystem
also: is that a boy or a girl?
>>55566835
it's a guy
his entire musical catalog consists of screeching noises
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AguPH0XBxdw
He's released so many albums because he shits them out in an afternoon.
He even put out an entire box set featuring weeks worth of content he just "misplaced" back in the 90s.
>>55566781
use pd or git gud and make ur own hardware

OSX is free and as Opensource as Linux
>>55566861
>>55566857
it would be cool if he would have that sticker on his laptop and make death metal or something
but this is utterly disappointing.
>>55566857
to deep for me
Does LMMS work on distros other than Fedora? Or does everyone who dares produce music on Linux suffer from complete lack of audio?
>>55566812
DAWs are the logical conclusion to the decades of innovation in digital production equipment.

Want to help me install homOSeX on this old chinkpad? Doesn't it use a DE that is basically GNOME but shinier?

If climate change was real, why would they have to arrest people for not believing in it?

listening to this gave me tinnitus
>>55566874
Surely you mean Darwin which is not a full OS by itself but a mere kernel(like linux). Most of the rest of OSX ist not free software.
>>55567873
Darwin is an OS like GNU/Linux.
>>55566781
just get a stand alone digital mixer/recorder
Do physical sampler+sequencers still exist?
Or should I stick to daws?
>>55566802
Don't fall for the Windows meme, it's for gamers.

Well shit. Don't think I've cried and laughed this much in a while.

Masonna is better
Are you a vegan OP? Because going FOSS only is like going vegan, noone gives a shit and you'll be back to eating meat once you've come to your senses.

>actually comes with ZSH by default

only tech illiterate people say OS X is for tech illiterates.

>outdated GNU toolchain from 2003
kill yourself desu
>>55566781
Possibly, but I can't name one at the moment.
A lot of hardware is straight up unsupported (anything by MOTU for example). If you can deal with having only 2 inputs/2 outputs then Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 works (tested with ALSA/JACK). That should get you started. Other than that ... look into Ardour and Audacity.
>>55568414brew install bash
brew install gcc
brew install *other gnu/bullshit*
any other non-issues that you'd like to mention?
>>55568414
>gnu
>2003
>outdated
most of that shit was written in the fucking 90s. Sure some useful features are missing but you know what? You can fix that shit.
I develop on OS X all day long. We target RHEL, SLES and OEL. OS X keeps up with the best of them.
>>55568460
brew isn't a feature of the OS
that's like saying windows is fully POSIX compliant because you can open a web browser and install cygwin.
>>55566781
Completely possible: http://www.pro-linux.de/artikel/2/1835/interview-mit-dem-musiker-daniel-schlep.html
Use google translate
>>55568487
OS X comes with a fully functioning POSIX toolset and is complaint without the latest GNU packages. The latest versions are not included because they are licensed under GPLv3, which enforces stricter terms of inclusion with hardware (because stallmanu is a zealot)
if you really insist on having the latest toolchain, there is nothing stopping you from updating with brew or even compiling from source. alternatively, you can use superior non-gnu tools (zsh instead of bash, clang/llvm instead of gcc, etc)

that one is screeching noises AND drums
>>55568296
they do. it's great to build a full hardware system and lotsa people prefer it, but daws make the sequencing part laughably convenient and easy.
>>55566781
You might need to hire programmers to write drivers and extend existing audio production software if you feel that they aren't adequate right now.
>>55567911
That would be BSD/Darwin
>>55566781
>Is there a worse predicament?
There are no girls involved. So yes, there could be.
>Some anon posted this earlier:
I see some anons in music production. I am making a list of software for quick access, here is the audio part
Audio Editing: SoX, Audacity
Audio Encoding: FLAC, LAME
Audio Ripping: cdparanoia, fre ac, Sound Juicer
Audio Tag: Beets, Easytag
Background Sound: Ambient Noise, GNU GTick
Digital Audio Workstation: LMMS, Ardour, Rosegarden
DJing: Mixxx
Ear Training: GNU Solfege, LenMus
Music Player: Moc (+ moc-ffmpeg-plugin), Ncmpcpp, MikMod, cmus, Clementine, Rhythmbox, Audacious (+ Winamp Classic skin + GJay)
Music Visualization: cli-visualizer, cava, projectM, Le Biniou
Scorewriter: Emacs (lyqi), eTktab, LilyPond, MuseScore
Software Sampler: Hydrogen, orDrumbox, LinuxSampler
Synthesizer: ZynAddSubFX, AlsaModularSynth
Tonal Feature Analysis: CLAM Chordata
Tracker Editors: MilkyTracker, Schism
Trackers: GoatTracker, SID-Wizard
Some tools are command line but graphical alternatives are given. Other tools like Audacity come with options like VSI plugin integration and Nyquist which you should look up too.
LMMS, in my opinion, is part of a toolchain you use with other software, say, a synthesizer, that comes separate. Once you get the logic in the unix world everything has separate tools you can set a bretty good environment.
