    Would this be the right comm to ask about setting up for simple recording at home? I can do the physical stuff but the software stuff is really confusing, as are ADCs and getting input to the computer. Somehow Jack is involved, but last time i tried to set it up i broke pulse somehow. I want to try again come the new year tho

      Might be good timing for me too. I have a bitwig license and a lot of hardware, and an intention to keep my production on linux. Perhaps we will figure it all out together.

      I might be able to give you a hand. Pipewire makes everything way simpler and easier nowadays.

        Wonderful! I havent sorted pipewire, but i can install it ^^ im using a 2019 thinkpad with void linux on it. I remember trying to get my midi controller working but it just would not (tho i also dont have a realtime kernel installed so even if i got it working i have no guarantee that it would be playable

          You should be able to install it through your package manager and it'll just replace pulseaudio and jack. You may need pipewire-alsa though depending on your setup and distro.
