• Free Quality SoundFonts (Sf2)

  As an (extremely) amateur musician I've had hours of fun with free soundfonts like these and the open source LMMS[0], which was nice and familiar to me since I'd played with pirated copies of FruityLoops (now FL Studio) as a teenager. [0] https://lmms.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 days ago

• Ask HN: Getting Started with DAW?

  So, I saw the other day the release of the ep-133, and it happens that I want to get started doing that kind of stuff (e.g., creating simple beats). I have zero knowledge about DAW/sampling and music in general (my background is in soft. engineering), so the first thing that I searched on Google is "open source daw" and I found LMMS (https://lmms.io/). I'm going through the documentation right now. Do you know... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Midi I/O vs USB

  Of course, you need some kind of DAW software in your PC that receives MIDI (from LPK), creates the audio data and sends them to Volt. If you have zero experience with this, start with some kind of simple and self-contained DAW, like e.g. "LMMS" (free download). Later you can graduate to more complex (and expensive) DAWs and separate VST plugins. Source: 12 months ago

• Linux for Video Editing and Photo Editing and Music DJ: Some idea?

  For music making, it kind of depends on what you use normally but LMMS is a decent free DAW. Source: about 1 year ago

• My dual boot with windows 11 won't boot past intro screen or even into bios after failed attempt to fix frequent Kerbal panic.

  Give a try to Ardour, LMMS, MusE and Rosegarden. Source: about 1 year ago

• Bandcamp support is faltering – maybe you should download your music now

  It supports ALAC. There’s a handy app called XLD (X Lossless Decoder) that will convert from FLAC to ALAC (and probably back) in a couple clicks if you need it. Lossless means I don’t really need to care whether my music is in an equivalent format, but I will admit it’s a bit silly. https://tmkk.undo.jp/xld/index_e.html. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Audio encoding question

  I would be surprised if XLD cannot do what you want. Source: 11 months ago

• This error keeps showing up when I try to import a CD. Any reason for that or any advice?

  Please ignore the misinformation in this thread about CDs being too old to be ripped, and download XLD and follow this guide. Source: 12 months ago

• What is your favorite mac app that you just discover in first half of 2023?

  I don't have any OPUS files, but personally, I'm fine with MP3s, so typically, I just run songs through XLD. Source: 12 months ago

• Moving CDs to ext. HD on Studio

  Take a look at XLD, it supports lossless formats (flac, alac, wav, aiff) as well as standard compressed formats. It also checks online services for metadata and album art. I ripped a ton of CDs with it. Source: 12 months ago
