  • LSP Plugins for mixing
  • Dragon Reverb
  • Surge XT for a modular synth
  • sfizz for sfz instrument playback
  • Bonus: for cover art and logos I used GIMP, the G'MIC plugin, and Inkscape.

I just released two original EPs on Itch.io, both for free: Fractals and Selected Transmissions (sh.itjust.works)
 

My first EP is Fractals. It is an original drum and bass mini-EP, made after a roughly 4 year hiatus

These tracks have a horror and industrial focus, with a little bit of EDM thrown in for good measure.

The next EP (Selected Transmissions) is actually a compilation of older songs I created earlier in my music career, around 2020-2021. It is a collection of breakcore songs that I made roughly before my hiatus. Again, they also have an industrial, horror-esque vibe

Both EP's are free to download. They come with .flac and .mp3 files, as well as the original hi-res cover art and a behind-the-scenes release_notes.txt file.

Happy listening!

Thanks for bringing up lsp plugins. I used to use meldaproduction with yabridge, but it's probably a better idea to use something native. I'll have to check lsp out

Edit: While doing some digging, I found this resource: https://kx.studio/Repositories:Plugins I'm mostly interested in the Calf and LSP Plugins, but there's some other interesting ones in that list too.

I took a several year hiatus from making music. Reaper on Linux (among other things) made me come back as speed-skirmish (sh.itjust.works)

I used to make music (specifically drum and bass / breakcore, with an industrial twist. Occasionally ambient music to change things up). I stopped for several reasons:

  1. Life responsibilities
  2. Self doubts about my skills, and other mental health stuff
  3. FLStudio (my old DAW) doesn't run well on Linux, even through Wine Bottles.

It's been a couple years since 2022. Since then I'm in a better headspace + life is better + embraced Reaper, which runs like a dream on Linux.

The description of this community seems like it's ok with posters sharing their music, so here goes:

Let me know what y'all think.
