Welcome and congrats on your migration under GNU/Linux.

VST is a proprietary format therefore it is made to not work on linux. On linux synth or virtual instruments are LV2 plugins (like Helm, Surge or Vitalium) or SF2/SFZ soundbank (played with Sfizz or Fluid Synth).

Now Ardour, Bitwig and Reaper can load VST plugins, but :

• Some won’t just work,
• Some will work pretty much the same (Kontakt seems to be working for some person, but it depends on the version I think), BUT if the VSTs needs to be installed before hand (like Kontakt, Spitfire, SINE and I think Arturia V falls into that), you will have to install them first using Wine (or with a wine front-end, like Bottles, Heroic, Lutris). Then load them in your DAW, if they don’t work there after being properly download and installed, I don’t think there is anything much to do… … Apart from try using a bridge (like Lin-VST or Yabridge), but here against results are still very unpredictable. I got some pretty god results with both on the past, but on my new setup none would work for my plugins (Spitfires mostly).

These companies won’t make their plugins available under Linux cause ‘there isn’t enough people using it on linux’ (words of someone at Spitfire who I was asking the question).

My workflow for production in a few words :

• One PC (recording, mixing, mastering) with a midi keyboard,
• One PC virtual instruments only, I use it when project requires lot of instrument tracks.

Edit : Yeah Carla can be used as well, it can load VST plugins and act like a plugin library (pretty much like Kontakt).

Try using audacity/tenacity with each mic on one stereo channel, press recording and like the output to OBS.

Déjà dans un monde d’abondance, tu pourrais être salarié au lieu d’être intermittent.

Eve Online!

On the home page : https://dogmazic.net/ On the right you have 4 foldable menus, the fourth one is a radio player. It’s playing all the content of the archive at random (be careful as there are a lot of weird stuff ;o)

Dogmazic! Dogmazic is one of the primary free music download managers in France. Dogmazic was created in December 2004 by the Bordeaux-based Association Musique libre!, a major proponent of the French free music movement. Dogmazic’s database contains roughly 2000 artists, largely but not exclusively from France. All of Dogmazic’s music is licensed under terms that permit free redistribution, such as Creative Commons licenses and the Free Art License. Dogmazic does not carry any advertising.

En fait tout dépend ce qu’on entend derrière le terme nationalisation. L’article oppose nationalisation et bien commun, car nationalisation = bien public et au Québec apparemment bien public = l’État s’enrichit en détruisant des écosystèmes. Alors qu’en France l’État n’a pas le droit de détruire des écosystèmes, en gros en France l’État n’a pas le droit de se comporter comme une entreprise normale sur des questions publiques, notamment car les services publics sont basés sur l’intérêt général et pas sur le principe de remplir les caisses.

2 remarques : 1/ Concrètement le cas du Québec montre qu’en pratique ça ne change pas grand chose : l’État donne des autorisations d’exploitations à des agents économiques. Dans la nationalisation, l’État se délègue à lui-même l’exploitation c’est tout. 2/ Le fait d’inscrire qu’une chose est un bien commun dans une constitution est toujours une bonne idée, vu que ça donne une protection supplémentaire et on en aurait bien besoin (pour l’eau et d’autres domaines) en France pour contrebalancer les privatisations qui rongent les services publics.

It"s a top-down shooter, plain and simple.

On the DAW, the three are good, I use Ardour cause it’s a free software, but I’ve been told the other two are good, specially for people coming from ableton who want something close. Ardour is really a old-fashioned daw like pro-tools.

Check Librazik it’s a distro based on debian made for musicale production.

I’d say you don’t need a specific distro for what you want to do : a Debian or Arch with KDE could do the trick, but I would recommend to use a lighter desktop environment like Xfce. You may not like it coming from mac but it will preserve machine resources for your audio work.

Ardour runs pretty much on it’s own on any distro, you can still do some conf, I suggest to go to linuxmao.fr the website is mostly in French but have a lot of configuration documentation.

This audio interface will not be an issue as it’s plug and play on Linux since a while now.

Poppy Linux should do.

Was gonna say that!

Tennis again?

Joke aside, pure competitive games are indeed just pure competitive games with no context at all. But competition in itself is ideological and political (the need to make the opponent lose) so Pong is too.

It’s a point of view on multiplayer gaming. In Pong there is always a loser and a winner, never two winners, never two losers (can we even make a draw in original Pong? I don’t know).

Pong is also a game that opposed human versus computer, it can be view as pure skill exercise to be a ‘better’ human or it can be literally a fight against the machine like playing chess against a computer. Both makes me want to ask what is the point to do this ? I think answers at this questions are political indeed.

Super Mario make a twist on the trope of the knight saving the princess. The knight is just a plumber and it is said to him that the ‘princess is an another castle’. But at the end the right order of the world is restaured when Mario finally frees the princess from the evil Bowser.

So from a political standpoint Super Mario is a product believing strongly in individualism and in the self made man ideology. The twist shows only that even a plumber can save the princess if he works enough = liberal capitalism making us believed that we’ll be all rock stars and billionaires when we’re definitively not (and yes I’m quoting fight club here). All this is the consequence of the game focussing more on gameplay than it’s narration, therefore it leans towards what was the common thinking of the time.

Polygamy (relationship between Peach, Mario and Luigi, if that’s what you are referring to) is much to me a side effect of the 2 players gameplay possibility, but it is still indeed pretty interesting in itself yeah.

You probably meant it as a joke, but too bad you get a real answer :)

Indeed, I still get someone giving me names of nonpolitical games.

Oh you didn’t perceive the irony, didn’t you?

• Doom promotes strong virilism = political.
• Tetris = promote the control of chaos (view as destructive, because too much and you lose) through psycho-rigid order.
• Need For Speed = yeah nothing political about promoting cars, except the incitation to get one.
• Wii Tennis = tries to make you forget tennis is for rich people only, by making it cute = political.

My point is everything is political, you don’t have to see political standpoint in things, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

The Council, The Wreck, Haven, Orwell, Life Is Strange, Journey of course, The Stanley Parable, The Beginner’s Guide, Everything by Christine Love, Everything by Jonathan Blow, Inside and Limbo, Get Even, Betrayal, Kentucky Route Zero, Never Alone, Tell Me Why, A Plague Tale (both), Deathtrap Dungeon (interactive video adventure), Kholat, Asemblance, Firewatch, Her Story, The Vanishing Of Ethan Carter.

I include a bit of everything…

I would like to find a game free of political message, can someone please show me one?

I’m really curious about what this mythical beast might look like…

I think someone at ubi played Astrobot and thought “wait a minute”…

En l’occurrence je parlais du bénévolat dans le sens : travail non rémunéré en général, pas dans le sens strict.

Dans tous les cas tu a l’air de penser qu’il y a des intermittents payer a rien foutre. Dans ce cas la soit effectivement c’est pôle emploi qui évalue mal les cachets soit le fisc qui contrôle mal l’activité au moment de la déclaration d’impôt.

Si ton problème c’est un problème de tiroir budgétaire OK je comprend. Si on transforme le statut en sub, on ajoute encore de la précarité a un statut déjà précaire. Sans parler de la tonne de ressources nécessaires pour traiter toutes les demandes a posteriori…
