Running Windows VSTs (virtual instruments) in a DAW like reaper for making music.
Im struggling to switch to Linux for music production. I dont like ardour, reaper works fine but no Windows vsts... even with wine/yabridge getting paid ones with licence protection running is a mess. Compatibility with old projects (Studio one, there is a linux beta but needs wayland, i use Mint so another thing to change) is another difficulty. Of course none of this isnt solvable somehow but i dont think we are there yet offering Producers an comfortable switch.
Honestly, because I'm not a fan of intrusive DRM anyway, I say Yarr, matey 🏴☠️
I know that's not a solution for some, but until there's more Linux native VST's, it's a viable path for those willing to take it.
Has yabridge updated recently? My version still has me pinning wine at 9.something
Yabridge is pinned to 9.21 because of changes to Wine, that broke UI interactivity for most VSTs. There is a branch where it's being worked on, but the main branch recommends to pin the older Wine
