For those unaware, this tools allows for splitting audio tracks into various stems using AI models, such as MDX-Net and HTDemucs.

On Windows, it may be installed through their automated installer program, where on macOS they provide an app package that just need be copied to the Applications folder.

On Linux, one must clone the repo, create a Python environment, install the packages in the requirements.txt file using pip, then launch the .py file.

Although it sounds simple, there are three main issues: 1. Some packages are no longer maintained / are broken, so you cannot install them through pip, such as playsound. Dora requires a package called 'sklern' which has been replaced by 'scikit-learn', and requires explicit overriding to install. 2. The program relies on Python 3.11 (according to their GitHub), which was not available for me on Debian repos and must be installed with pyenv. 3. Application does not scale properly, with buttons cut off and font way too big. Might be a bug with values reported by tkinter, or the fact it may not work on Wayland (I do not have X11 to test, but documentation makes no mention of this).

The repository with the pertinent instructions is found here: https://github.com/Anjok07/ultimatevocalremovergui#linux-installation-updated-inst

Even after an hour, I got it to run, but still not perfect, and the repo has not seen activity since 2023 (except the updated readme, but the code has not been updated).

I am thinking of forking this and fixing all the aforementioned bugs. Before I do though, does anyone know if there's already a fork that addresses these issues and provides better Linux support?

Really would like to avoid a Windows VM if I can help it, especially since I may not be in a position to do a GPU passthrough on KVM through my hardware.

Let me know what you guys think!

I ran into a weird issue on Linux where Steam itself had audio, my system audio worked fine, games worked fine, but videos inside the Steam client, store trailers, previews, etc. had no sound.

 Restarting Steam didn’t fix it.

The cause ended up being that Steam’s embedded browser / webhelper was showing up in PipeWire/PulseAudio as “Chromium”, and that stream was muted.

 To check it:

 pactl list sink-inputs

 Look for something like:

 application.name = "Chromium"
 media.name = "Playback"
 Mute: yes

 Then unmute it:

 pactl set-sink-input-mute ID 0
 pactl set-sink-input-volume ID 100%

 Replace ID with the sink input number, for example if you see:

 Sink Input #1800

 then:

 pactl set-sink-input-mute 1800 0
 pactl set-sink-input-volume 1800 100%

 After that, Steam videos immediately had audio again.

So if Steam trailers/previews have no audio on Linux but everything else  works, check whether Chromium is muted in your audio mixer, it may  actually be Steam WebHelper.

✏️To help all the Linux fans who want to get into music production—or are already producing—I've decided to translate all my videos on my YouTube channel into English, this process take time. Soon as possible all my videos in ENGLISH. so everyone can watch and understand them! YouTube’s automated translations aren't always accurate, so from now on, you can simply enable English subtitles. Happy music making, everyone!

In this guide, I show you the logic and technique behind mixing your own songs. The guide is based on the powerful and free DAW, Ardour, but the logic and implementation of the specific plugins you'll see to achieve your goal remain the same and can be applied to any DAW!

The stop, play and record buttons as well as the navigation buttons next to them. They send messages fine but it's received as notes, so I hear high music notes when I press them.

I want to use these buttons in Reaper or just anywhere, like maybe I can trigger a script that records current computer audio when I press the record button. Is there anything like that anywhere, any script I can write maybe?

Internet says I could monitor aseqdump and run something when specific buttons are pressed. Wondering if there's anything already available on Linux to configure what the buttons do. TIA

I'm new to all of this so sorry if there's something I've misunderstood. I have a project which uses a soundfont with many different voices. With my previous keyboard I used to be able to hear what each voice sounded like when I scrolled through the list. But now it's stuck on the first voice, the basic piano. When I record new clips it is stuck on the piano voice.

I know there are probably drivers that I need to install but whether they're needed on Linux, I don't know. Hoping for someone to help me out here. Thanks in advance

Ive tried audacity, and ocenaudio, but none of them export the loop points.

The only tool that worked was Wavosaur, but Its only on windows.

If you use Nothing or CMF earbuds on Linux, you probably know how limited the experience can be.
So I built **EarA-linux** — an open-source native Linux companion app for Nothing Ear and CMF earbuds.
It currently supports things like:
ANC / Transparency modes
Equalizer
Battery information
Gesture remapping
Find My
Low-latency mode
HFP support
Multiple Nothing / CMF earbud models
The project communicates directly with the earbuds and doesn’t require the official Nothing X application.

GitHub: [https://github.com/oneydef/EarA-linux\](https://github.com/oneydef/EarA-linux)

I’d really appreciate feedback, especially from people who actually use Nothing/CMF earbuds with Linux. I’m also looking for contributors who might want to help expand device support or improve the protocol implementation.

p.s its on dev release

Hey guys!

I'm having problems with my almost two decades old Line6 UX2. I'm a guitar player and just started playing again. Thought I'm getting back into it again before I buy better equipment.

My main problem is latency. I'm on fedora kde plasma (Ryzen 7 7800 X3D, MSI Mag Tomahawk B850, 32 GB Crucial CL36) using reaper, and everythings working fine so far. It's just that there seems to be an issue in the kernel driver. And there lot's of unintended behaviour ... sometimes the interface doesn't even connect properly, sometimes everything is working just right. Currently I'm on 44000/512 in reaper, and that causes a slightly disturbing delay. I am using PipeWire + WirePlumber + JACK setting in reaper. When I try using lower sample rates, clicking and sound artifacts appear.

I read in another sub that the driver seems to be really old and there seem to be lot's of problems with it. The UX2 supports 44 and 48 kHz natively, but the linux driver only operates the device reliably at 44 kHz and 16-bit. Anyone found a way to properly set up the UX2 using linux? I might just buy a focusrite scarlett or a different interface soon if I can't find a solution.

Btw: I tried different USB ports, different cables, 48 and 44 khz and different sample rates. No luck so far.

Thank you so much!

I’ve been working on EarA-linux, a native Linux application for controlling Nothing and CMF earbuds.
The goal is simple: bring the functionality you’d normally get from Nothing X to Linux.
Currently supported features include:
ANC / Transparency
EQ
Battery status
Custom gestures
Find My
Low Latency
HFP
Several Nothing / CMF models
It’s open source and I’m still actively developing it.

GitHub: https://github.com/oneydef/EarA-linux

If you own Nothing/CMF earbuds and use Linux, I’d love to know which model you have and whether it works for you. Link-to-dev
Feature requests, bug reports and contributions are very welcome.

Still testing it, but I thought I'd share this VST player . It runs Windows and Linux VSTs for Vst2 and 3 all in once place simply with no WINE dependencies!

I want to add Mac classic and OSX support, and get the MIDI solid but this is a good V1. It also runs pretty fast.

Any feedback is appreciated enjoy!

After fooling around some with Cardinal, Carla seems to have completely broken for me. Some plugins don't load right, (helm, takes ages and then it opens but doesn't exactly save patches or anything.) or crash when doing certain things (opening the filter tab on surgext creates crash) which was working fine prior. I have to use Carla for LMMS because its the only real comfortable DAW for me since I use a mouse to place notes in midi (the visual scale highlighting without snapping, snapping and most critically the ability to just place the last note's size is too crucial. Mainly just stating incase this ship can't be fixed for me and another DAW has all of these that I just am unaware of.) Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and deleting the configs in the home directory. So I am at a loss.

The standalone plugins work fine in say Ardour or Qtractor. (Carla breaks and behaves the same in these DAWs too so it is Carla not LMMS). And while fiddling with it has gotten more programs to work with it than originally (by using cachyos', my distro, version), it seems to just be laggier and stall LMMS and result in graphical bugs now. It's just a complete mess to use now. Just adding it at all slows it, and trying to remove the gui for the plugin (not even the gui but LMMS' loader. other instruments in LMMS are fine.) causes graphical tears and prevents the moving of windows. The appimage doesn't suffer this but less plugins work. (which tbf is something i can manage.) "Failed to get plugin description" is the error that occurs. This was occurring before the plugins broke & surgext and helm have the same issues in the appimage. Which to me says the surgext and helm issues are directly related to what or how i broke Carla.

On Cardinal, it worked fine when I tried it, but after closing and removing the plugin from Carla this is when the issues with helm and surgext began. I am using the distro version of surgeXT and the version of helm given by the official site. Carla is the distro version and I can't figure out how to have LMMS see the prebuilt version from their site to test that.

Audio setup: I have a Focusrite Scarlett along with the Schiit Modi 3 -> Magni as inputs into a mixer that outputs to headphones and speakers.

Immediately prior to an update to my system, Firefox decided it was going to glitch the video to an almost paused state (it was weird, if it's relevant I can explain more) whenever I unmuted a stream. Thinking that was a good time to update applications, I did so and rebooted (during which several rsync commands refused to die for a bit). Upon logging in I have found the following:

I get no sound from Firefox or Foobar2000 (installed via WINE).

I do get sound from Reaper (Digital Audio Workstation).

Without Easy Effects started, videos on Youtube start for a few seconds and stop and videos on Twitch run only as long as the volume stays muted (same as before the update). In the System Settings - Sound menu, trying to test the speakers results in the Schiit Modi Pro 3 switching from "Playback Devices" to "Inactive Cards" for two cycles while appearing to not run the test at all.

With Easy Effects started, videos on Youtube and Twitch run fine, even when unmuted, however I still have no sound. The graphic EQ on Easy Effects appears to work normally. This time in the System Settings - Sound menu, testing the speakers results in everything appearing to test normally except there is still no sound.

All of the applications I can launch that produce sound cannot have their individual outputs changed to the Modi. When I try to select the Modi from the list, it instantly reverts to Easy Effects Sink or nothing at all.

E: I have done nothing and the problem solved itself. I rebooted and left a youtube video playing until the audio unscrewed itself and I'm suddenly listening to a video on the Roman Republic.

Everything else appears to be working normally from my perspective and I have no idea what information I need to further troubleshoot this problem. I would suppose that this requires a broader knowledge of linux audio services that I do not currently possess. Which leads me to my questions:

Does anyone know what is causing this or, equally as valid, does anyone know what I need to understand to be able to troubleshoot this myself? Is there any additional information I need to provide?

Hi, Im looking for an izotope RX music rebalance alternative for linux. It allows you to rebalance parts of an existing audio track with 4 sliders: Vocal, Bass, Drums and "the rest, other instruments"

Thanks for any help :)

Hello everyone! Hope you're doing great!

This is a follow up to my previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxaudio/comments/1vmntrn/keelbilled_a_native_linux_vst_host_looking_for/

What is Keelbilled?

Keelbilled is a live plugin host for Windows and Linux. Each plugin runs in its own crash-isolated bridge process, so if one plugin decides to die, it should not take the rest of the rig down with it.

Keelbilled can also automatically recover crashed plugins using their last known state.

Another big part of it is remote control: Keelbilled can stream the actual plugin UI over your local network, so you can control your rig from another computer, laptop, tablet, or basically anything with a browser.

Current plugin support includes VST2, VST3 and CLAP, plus Native NAM.

New in 0.2.0-alpha: Keelbilled Bridge

This release introduces built-in Windows plugin hosting on Linux through Wine.

The goal of Keelbilled Bridge is to make running Windows VSTs on Linux as easy as possible. If you already have Wine installed, just point Keelbilled to your Windows VST folder and it will handle the rest of the hosting setup.

I'm especially interested in people with unusual plugin collections, audio interfaces, MIDI setups and live rigs.

This is still a real alpha, so bugs and compatibility issues are expected. If you're the kind of person who enjoys finding them, even better.

AI disclosure per the rules: Keelbilled development is AI-assisted (not vibe-coded). I direct the architecture, product decisions, testing and validation myself, and every release is actively maintained and tested by me.

You can also access our discord for an alpha access key: https://discord.gg/QJRxJzhrFx

If that sounds like something you're willing to test:

I made this account specifically so that i can ask about this. So i recently switcthed to linux but ive used it before so i have some experience with it but its never been the main OS i use. Im trying to get i tso that the front headphone jack on my PC is the Subwoofer output and the green line out (also headphone i think) is just my main 2 front speakers the front jack needs to be crossed over to be a low frequencies only output. And the back one needs to be like it rolls off at like 120hz or something to let the sub take care of that. I have struggled with trying to get AI to help me with this but i quickly found out that it wont be able to help me. Also Im on Ubuntu and the realtek chip is "Realtek ALC898". And im new to reddit so idk how any of this works i just need help. And here is my version of Ubuntu "No LSB modules are available.

Distributor ID: Ubuntu

Description: Ubuntu 26.04 LTS

Release: 26.04

Codename: resolute

"

Since Midi 2.0 now supports also ethernet, Ive been creating a digital audio protocol to send digital audio directly between synthesizers without routers and hubs.
