I’ve been using my M2 Air to broadcast a radio show for the past couple of years. It’s basically flawless, even using an iPad as a virtual MIDI controller for some of the faders.
I’m currently in the process of replicating the setup on my Linux PC, and fuck me, it’s proving an arsehole by comparison. I’m willing to accept that a good chunk is just me being far less familiar with the OS than with macOS, but it’s considerably less intuitive when it comes to things like hooking up virtual MIDI controllers and the like. I’ll get it sorted, but I won’t be truly happy that it’s broadcast solid for a few weeks yet, I don’t think.
The actual playout software is Mixxx on both, but the underlying MIDI controlling is slightly different. Enough that I’m not 100% on how it works on Linux.
