If you’re into music creation, chances are you’ve heard of Focusrite Scarletts—they’re practically a staple in the industry. But here’s the kicker: while they’re adored by many, official support from Focusrite is limited to Windows and Mac users. Thankfully, the Open Source Community has stepped up to the plate! Thanks to the efforts of Geoffry Bennet and others, compatibility with Linux systems is now a reality, complete with a sleek GUI to control every aspect of your Focusrite Scarlett for everyday use. In this article, I’ll walk you through the steps needed to configure your Focusrite Scarlett on your Linux system, so you can seamlessly integrate it into your audio setup and unlock its full potential. Let’s dive in! 🚀🚀🚀

The year 2023 slowly but steadily comes to an end. And with it a new Ruffy Le RaRe release comes along to end the year with a “bang”. Ruffy partnered up with A.R. and created a Deep House re-interpretation of “Rather Be” by Jess Glynne and Clean Bandit. This cover contains acoustic guitars, crunchy vocals and jazzy synth leads combined with a steady four-to-the-floor house rhythm. You’ve probably heard the original in the radio for at least 3 million times already, yet this version will be like listening to a completly different song.

Hey there! I hope you’re all having an awesome day filled with good vibes and great tunes. Today, ruffy has something special in store that’s sure going to make your day a little bit better. We’re taking a trip down memory lane to revisit a classic track that had us all grooving back in the day – “Perfekte Welle” by Juli. Many productions as 2Phaze came out lately, so it was time to also release for the Ruffy Le RaRe fans. And so shall it be! Come and join me a fusion of House, Electro a touch Dubstep and teaspoon full of nostalgia.

It’s time for a new release again 🚀🚀🚀. This time ruffy presents a tune combining catchy Drum & Bass and (lots of) iconic vocals from the previous 20 years. All that, combined into a single song. The project initially started out as a remix for “All That I Need” by S3rl and was further on extended with Adele, Linkin Park, Jason Derulo, Ellie Goulding Dada Life and Candee Jay. At some point the amount of vocals took overhand, so I’ve decided to call it a “Mashleg” (basically a mixture out of bootleg and a mashup). Now this song marks the first Mashleg of a series of Mashlegs called Smash Ups. Come and have a listen…

Today’s architectural challenges are often tackled using distributed systems with microservices as major building blocks. While microservices offer great benefits, they tend to increase the overall complexity of a system. This problem especially increases in IoT scenarios with a large number of external systems to communicate with. In this talk, Raffael and Paul will show how actor frameworks such as Microsoft Orleans - using a long-forgotten paradigm from the early days of computer science - can greatly mitigate those problems. The speakers draw from their hands-on experience in developing a globally distributed system in .NET leveraging Microsoft Orleans.
