MODERATORS
I'd love to, but I am too dependent on my VST Plug-in library on Reaper. Running them through Wine/Carla doesn't cut it.
I played with the idea of getting a Mac for music production, and installing a Linux distro on my desktop for gaming and video editing. But I couldn't really justify dropping 1000-2000€ on a laptop with inferior performance to my desktop.
Looked into used specimen, but getting a 3-year old model only gets you a couple more years of software support.
So Windows 11 with a local account and many policy modifications it is.
If VSTs are the problem, you could try: https://github.com/falkTX/Carla (I haven't tried it myself so I don't know how well it actually works)
As I mentioned in the previous comment, Carla isn't cutting it - not stable enough in my experience.
Oh, sorry. Missed it 🙂
