Sorry to miss this live. Like every tool, soft or hard, it's not for everyone, but always great to see what's the state of it. VCV-Rack runs on it, so that tells me there are no limits! Thanks, Ranz, Brooksie, Andy and Darren for a fun one.

Hi range - im so happy on you're behalf - you just get better and better, stringent and informative - good work, buddy !

[SynthAddict]

good fun Ranz and all - well worth staying up all night and going straight on the show :-)
always fun to geek out with the "soft and the hard"... wait that didn't sound right :-P
I had a nice 4.5 hour nap afterward, another nap later today

Tracktion waveform is pretty good as well

Been using Linux for music production for years. I watched almost a half hour until I realized he wasn't even running jack..
JACK is always a given & so old that people are trying to supercede it with pipewire.
To not be running jack & fiddling with settings while having audio issues is dumbfounding.
Still subscribed; looking forward to your modular videos.

Have you tried running the Fuse application in WINE?

Apparently it's still at the point of messing around trying to get things to work.
