Lack of Ableton Live support is also why I probably won't switch to Linux. Even though years ago I used to dual boot Ubuntu and quite liked it as an OS, the lack of DAW support is the real deal breaker for me too. Ableton Live is just too good and I know it too well to switch away from it.
@Legonatic@lemmy.world @birdcannon@lemmy.world - you might want to take a close look at Bitwig. It's a top-notch DAW developed by former Ableton developers. I hear it's fairly similar workflow to Ableton, but also that it's better in certain ways. This is without even taking into consideration that Bitwig supports Linux. I don't have any association with Bitwig, don't even own it (yet?), but just wanted to let you know.
I think I've heard that some VST support may be tricky though. I could be misremembering, but also worth researching.
Nice to know, but it’ll really come down to VST support. I can relearn a new DAW, but I can’t magic up new libraries. I also don’t really wanna have to learn futzing with Linux when I have enough hobbies. As much as windows sucks, it’s convenient that their product supports everything I want out of the box. Once a Linux distro can do the same for my needs, I’m all in.
No problem, I understand.
I feel you man. I've finally used Cubase enough to get proficiently fast at editing stuff, and I can't get it to work on Mint. It is quite the dilemma. From what I've seen from Bitwig, I still might switch though. It looks a lot like Ableton, but I much prefer Bitwig's UI. And my most used plugins (arturia stuff) happens to run without any hassle on Wine (for now).
Still, I'll probably keep dual booting for a while. I have so many Cubase projects backed up that I don't feel like converting all to Bitwig projects.
