You could have a look at munin. It’s incredibly simple but effective. Quite easy to write your own plugins for if you’re missing some data. http://munin-monitoring.org/

Reminds me of a presentation I saw a few months ago by netsafe which is an new zealand non profit that has an ai driven system to keep scammers busy. You can try it out or learn more about it here: https://rescam.org/

If you’re not yet using reaper I highly advise you to try it out. I run it on debian and it works extremely well. For noise reduction you can use reafir which is one of the built in plugins of reaper. Here is a link with basic tutorial on how to do noise reduction with it.

Good for you! I’ve been free of windows for a decade I think. There’s nothing I miss as most of the programs I like and need have linux versions. The main program holding me back was reaper, an audio editor, and when they released an alpha version for linux I erased my last windows hard drive. I only run debian stable, but I’m not too fussed with bells and whistles.

I used the bandit game as an in class exercise when I was teaching basic linux skills to aspiring system administrators. It was always a great success because everyone got to advance at their own pace. Plus, they felt like real hackers because it was really over ssh. Anyway, have fun!

Although it’s not in the fediverse I quite like reading https://tildes.net. It’s quite slow paced but the quality of conversation is quite high in my opinion.

It’s honestly a really well designed project. The engine and gui can run independently of each other so you can run the engine headless and interface with it via osc. This is what I do and works very well. The midi sync is very good and remains sync for days on end if your jack is stable. I make music with a friend who runs ableton and we both do live looping with a shared clock and never run into problems. Anyway, give it a spin!

Not sure you can get it to run on Android, but sooperlooper is a very good and stable open source looper. I’ve built a quite elaborate setup around two instances and puredata and it rarely fails. Can highly recommend!

Quite a good follow up talk posted not so long ago.
