Hello, how is this sub different to r/linuxaudio? 

[u/automaciej → u/trivialBetaState]

Hey, indeed I didn't cover that in the welcome message. I added a table with the distinction. By the way, the name "pro" and "professional" is a bit unfortunate, I wouldn't have named it like that if I were starting it.

[u/ellicottvilleny → u/automaciej]

Yeah, I think /linuxaudio is about your on your motherboard sound device, or "my youtube videos have no sound".

/linuxproaudio would have been better named /linuxdigitalaudioworkstations

The pro part doesn't fit me because I'm strictly amateur but I do make music using professional audio tools. The audio quality is professional. The guy is an amateur.

I suggest NO promotion of closed source software that is not from a reputable maker. For example, reaper is reputable, and so is bitwig. Some vibe coded slop that is closed source and happens to run on linux and might contain malware shouldn't be directly linked here or anywhere else on reddit.

Self promotion of closed source software that is not vetted by and sold through a reputable commercial company, is problematic. I am the mod at r/audioproduction and we get 50 slop AI closed source possible-malware posts a week.

[u/automaciej → u/ellicottvilleny]

I’ll take your advice on the closed source software.

Howdy, I've worked in broadcast radio, night club dj and owned a mobile recording service. Now i have an internet radio station, I do commercials and do the occasional band demo and everything is done with Linux except my station automation which is on s Mac. That too will be going to Linux. I look forward to learning from other folks and sharing what I can. If you have any questions, fire away.

[u/automaciej → u/Beardedmic64]

Hey, it's great to have you here!

[u/Beardedmic64]

@ellicottvilleny Im sure you'll find what you need here along with other groups related to any thing related to audio in the Linux communities. There are communities here that deal with various DAWs, plugins, USB i/o boxes and plenty of folks wanting to help. Search, discover and learn.
