You are absolutely right in everything you said, specially about the plugins,
in my personal opinion when i started using the Calf plugins, they just
blowed my mind away, they have such a good sound quality and are so powerful
that they just make you laugh at most of of the propietary ones
Thanks for this - it answers a question lots of people have about what the
difference is between Debian's kernel and linux-libre.
Thanks, I'll try Ardour then.
BTW I'd like to precise that I'm not even a musician, I just downloaded
ableton cause sometimes I like to improvise something to kill time. So thanks
for the help, but don't worry too much, trisquel users, I think I can live
without ableton =P also cause I
Linux hardcodes the names of firmware files. If one is missing, an error
message naming that firmware file is displayed. Debian's Linux just takes out
the firmware, so these error messages show. Linux-libre removes these names
from the source code and prints DEBLOBBED instead of the name of
How are the developers at Debian removing the firmware blobs without losing
the functionality to load non-free firmware blobs?
Thanks for the great explanation.
Please don't suggests that the decision affects you, and it doesn't (not
directly, anyway).
Some Free Software alternatives:
JACK / qjackctl (the GUI for JACK), the tool for interconnecting audio,
MIDI, and sync between applications
Hydrogen Drum Machine
Ardour, the terrific, all-free DAW
Rakarrack, a free guitar effects tool set for Linux (one new to me, in fact!)
ZynAddSubFX,
well i think it should be more like
its a rely rely bad thing if you do and you can
but please dont
just using wine dose not mean the software in non-free
there are libre programs for windows
true i should not of done that
this example of non-free software only affects one person
there are examples of non-free spyware
that do affect others like iphones that can monitor what everyone in a room
is saying
but in this case
i am not affected
Exactly, install a propritary drive, Windows 8 in a virtual machine and watch
a movie from iTunes if you want. Just don't ask us to help you do it.
You're welcome, that's why we are here.
PS: If you have further questions related to this topic you can find me on
trisquel's irc channel (#trisquel, on freenode, with the same nick i use in
here) and i can help you out to find some cool stuff that might help with
your migration to free
I would like to install Trisquel on my laptop, but first I´d like to know if
I will be able to use ableton through wine. I would also like to know if you
can install proprietary software at all but actually the only one I use is
ableton, so my question is more specific. Thanks a lot
For WINE related questions you should go to ask in the WINE forums. We don't
encourage or give support for the use or installation of any propietary
software, wheter it works or don't.
But besides that, as for audio DAW's you should check out the free software
ones that gnu/linux already
--I would also like to know if you can install proprietary software at all
Yes, you certainly can. I'd advise you against it, though.
Cool thanks for answering my question. Sorry if I touched a theme you prefer
to avoid but I thought this was Trisquel related (ableton works through wine,
I meant if it could work also in trisquel cause it´s proprietary)
Trisquel doesn't actively prevent you from using any software. That would be
a digital restriction mechanism, a type of malicious feature, and we wouldn't
tolerate it. (There is one exception: Linux-libre is unable to load
proprietary firmware blobs, but that's because of a design flaw in
Ableton won't work but not because it is propietary, just because it didnt
have a gnu/linux version/release ( as many of the most well known
commercially and famous DAW's out there ). I do use Trisquel for audio
editing/recording even using audio interfaces and other tools, i mainly use
Alright, thanks again for all these infos and advices!!
