# VTubing Softwares

## <mark style="color:red;">Before Installing Software</mark>

It's generally a good idea to update your system first before installing these software, lowering the chance of getting error related to missing dependencies. **Please refer to** [**Installing your Software**](https://linkachus17.gitbook.io/kylos-vtubing-guide-on-linux/installing-your-softwares#updating-upgrading-your-system) **page for Update/Upgrade instruction based on your system**

## Alternative Software

Some apps that you use in Windows **might have a Linux version of it**. Some are just straight up not available in Linux, thus you need an alternative to it. **I will only list some that are mostly useful**, for other apps, I recommend you to visit [Alternativeto.net](#alternative-software)

It's recommended to **check your Distro Package Manager first** and see if the app is available there.&#x20;

If not, I recommend checking Flatpak version or check in Flathub.&#x20;

If Flatpak is not available, then check for AppImage.&#x20;

And lastly if AppImage is not an option, check for installable Linux file like .deb (<mark style="color:red;">not recommended method for Arch based distro</mark>)

* [DaVinci Resolve](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve)
* [KdenLive](https://kdenlive.org/download/) (Alternative to Sony Vegas)

### Notes

1. Use Flatpak version or you can follow [RougeRen's guide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3aMVZXh_cI\&t=7s)
2. This software can offer better tracking, but requires either a 3D model or Live2D model with rigging specifically made for Apple's ARKit
3. This works with proton, Check out Weeto's Video [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBN9hPVSklQ\&t=666s)

## Voice Changers

* [lyrebird voice-changer](https://github.com/lyrebird-voice-changer/lyrebird) no longer updated but forks exist as well and may work
* [EasyEffects](https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects) Could possibly change your voice with the right settings
* [Clownfish Voice-Changer](https://clownfish-translator.com/voicechanger/download.html) Has a linux app image available
* [Pyvoice](https://github.com/vastavgit/pyvoice) Not technically a voice changer but can work as a text to speech program
* [Soundux voicechanger](https://github.com/Soundux/Soundux/releases/tag/0.2.7) Linux version can be found on the github and its feature rich in whad you can do
* [Sox - Sound eXchange](https://sourceforge.net/projects/sox/files/sox/14.4.2/) this may work
* [Jack Rack](https://jack-rack.sourceforge.net/) can work as a voice changer if you get the right plugins

## Audio

* pavucontrol
* qjackctl
* qpwgraph
* easyeffects ([Flathub](https://flathub.org/apps/com.github.wwmm.easyeffects))<sup>1</sup>
* qasmixer

### Notes

1. I recommend using the Flatpak version, since it came with the LSP plugin already installed for you

## Helpful Streaming Programs

* [Streamer.bot](https://streamer.bot/)<sup>1</sup>
* [Stream ninja](https://socialstream.ninja/landing)<sup>2</sup>
* [restream.io](https://restream.io/)<sup>3</sup>

### Notes

1. Works if you use the install script in bottles , Some features may not work so your miliage may vary Weeto has a guide [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfNXlBeYC48)
2. This has a native linux app image and works very well
3. This is yet another Multi streaming tool , It lets you multistream from two places for free (**with watermark**), but for more than that you will need to pay for it

### Notes

1. We recommend using **native package**, and not the [Flatpak](https://flathub.org/apps/com.valvesoftware.Steam) version
2. If you're on Arch Linux, I recommend using OBS Studio made by **tytan652**
3. Works if you use the install script in bottles , Some features may not work so your miliage may vary. Weeto has a guide [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfNXlBeYC48)
