Oh nice. I'd have loved to have had this a few months ago. It's not overly easy to find VST plugins for Linux, and I've missed that since moving from Windows last year.
donbrae•47m ago
I hope the CLAP plugin open standard[0] will lead to more VSTs being made available for Linux. My favourite synth, Diva[1], has already been ported over (its maker, u-he, co-developed CLAP.)

Is it possible to wedge WINE between a Windows VST and a native Linux DAW?
ta988•2h ago
Yes with yabridge but it is really brittle.
embedding-shape•1h ago
Brittle in terms of crashes sometimes, or brittle as in "looses bit of connection always"?
Aldipower•1h ago
Brittle in terms of GUI rendering, sometimes, never had problems with the audio though.
bandrami•2h ago
It used to be the only way to do it (LMMS is still kind of stuck in that time period). Fortunately there are a lot more native plugins now.
Aldipower•1h ago
Yes, with yabridge, it works very well for example with all the Valhalla Reverb plugins. But then there are others like FabFilter, they do not work so well. But luckily there are now native Linux FabFilter alternatives, like ToneBoosters EQ Pro, Tal EQ, ZL EQ, ...
embedding-shape•1h ago
As a FabFilter user, how do those alternatives compare? I mostly use Pro-C and Pro-Q
Aldipower•1h ago
They _all_ offer Dynamic EQ, all the phase modes (linear, minimal and derivatives), freq matching, collision detection, side chaining, etc... Absolutely comparable imho. And cheaper. ZL Equalizer even is open source!

I think you can do it with Carla if you build it with Wine libs linked.
camtarn•1h ago
Yabridge works, and it's frankly incredible that it works at all, but it has some trouble figuring out where I'm clicking on EZDrummer. It's gotten better in the latest version of Linux Mint but it's still a bit off.
sirwitti•1h ago
I absolutely love the progress that was made in the several last years! The number of VST/audio plugins available on linux has grown from being quite a problem to having an actual ecosystem!
locusofself•1h ago
I've always wanted to do music recording on Linux (literally since the 90s). The fact that my preferred DAW (Reaper) has long been native to Linux has tempted me. But I have Universal Audio "Apollo" interface and have bought into their whole ecosystem which is very good and runs really great on my mac.

If I made the plunge I would get an RME USB audio interface and use Reaper, maybe play around with Bitwig which is also native on Linux. I don't think I would mess with WINE, regardless of other's success stories with it.

I'm glad to see where things have gone in recent years though

Aldipower•1h ago
I have a RME _PCIe_ Raydat card that is supported by Linux. It has 4+4 ADAT ports, meaning 32in+32out channels. You can connect basically every interface that has ADAT to it. I've connected two Ferrofish Pulse8 AE, a Focusrite Scarlett and a Motu Traveler. :-) If your UA Apollo has ADAT, you still can use it this way! Of course it hasn't to be a RME Raydat, any other Linux supported interface with ADAT does it too, f.ex. a Scarlett. You could get a cheap Scarlett and connect your Apollo to it. Hahaha. Seriously, this would work.
