I was bored, so I analyzed Zrythm's design

Not meaning any shade to the devs as it's quite a complex UI. But this is what screams out to me when I see the app.

Sadly, the performance and stability is not good enough for me to use it more seriously. Hopefully someday.

@duc I'm not actually using daws very much as my tracker does a great job of mixing all by itself (at least, my mixing skills aren't really good enough for a daw to exceed that, i know there's a lot that could be done to better mix my music). I'm also in the midst of setting up my music studio so i haven't completely gotten settled.

but my current daw of choice when I'm actually using it is Bitwig, because of its native Linux and pipewire support. A second choice is Ableton since that's just what I've used for a long while. I might have gotten into FL Studio, except i just never gave it a try.

@duc i do really wish that there was an open source daw i could use, but all the ones I've tried were just not usable. I'm not sure how people use ardour as it was crashing for me constantly and it also looks really really ugly

@vv ah i see! cause i mainly have been recording acoustic + vocals, and i've used reaper, which makes recording (and honestly most things) straightforward. but i might want to try expanding with other instruments in the future, and it's not been easy trying to get soundfonts and such working with it. :/

@duc i also tried reaper and it was really messy and ugly and crashy for me and i couldn't figure it out, coming from ableton.

@duc i really love bitwig though. It does so much stuff right in terms of configuration, and it's quite intuitive, with only a few minor confusion points (but all daws i know have those). by far the best daw experience I've had, and the cheapest of the ones I've bought.

@vv i also feel like it might be a decent idea to set up a seperate distro for music specifically lol

@vv oh dear. seems like the linux daw scene is in great shape. :)
especially with a bunch of plugins being windows exclusive, so one has to fuck with that, too.
