So I finally got some new hardware for my homestudio.

I switched to a #Focusrite Clarett+ 8Pre USB audio interface. So far things are running really smooth. The "ALSA Scarlett Control Panel" (https://github.com/geoffreybennett/alsa-scarlett-gui) is an amazing piece of software. It allows me to control the internal mixer, and all other features, I otherwise wouldn't have any access to. (1/3)

As monitors I got a pair of second hand #Genelec 8030C RAW speakers, without any #DSP (digital signal processing). I am quite happy with them, though I thought about getting the #Neumann KH120 II. At first I thought it is a no-brainer: why should I want to pay extra money for the DSP (for room correction) when I can't access it, but then I found out there is a recent tool called khtool (https://github.com/schwinn/khtool) which allows one to control all settings via the Linux CLI.

Anyway, I want to focus on making music and not playing with the CLI, so I decided to keep a room-correction upgrade for a later point.

Solutions in a creative progress have to be invisible, and yet I must be in control, which does not mean I understand every little detail. Set and forget. I can't waste time playing around. (2/3)

I wrote a little #guide on "Getting started with music production on Linux" on my #blog. 🤓

PD: I've already spent too much time on this 🫣, so please forgive me if there are any errors in the article. Feel free to let me know and I'll correct, add to, etc. 😇

@amadeus What I still miss is that there is at least one loudspeaker manufacturer that has its audio correction software available for Linux, too! A few years #Genelec announced that they are having a look, but the plans got cancelled.

You could mention that for Focusrite devices there is a FOSS Firmware, which works for many recent devices and it can do routing etc too!
