Hi everyone!

After a post on r/linuxquestions I've been redirected here in search for some advice.
I'm currently switching to linux from windows and I've moved basically all my daily tasks on linux (I'm using pop_os) but still music production stays on the win11 dual boot.

My usual tools for music production are mostly:

  • Reaper as DAW and I see it work fine without any trick
  • Scarlett as audio interface, this too works fine and I use it all the time
  • Neural Dsp software for guitars and basses and here starts the trouble, as per the following software this has no linux version and I'm not familiar enough with WINE to make to work properly
  • Getgood Drums
  • Spitfire various vst instruments
  • Acustica audio vsts for mix and mastering

I'm wondering if there's a way of using this "stack" of tools on linux.
Any tip is welcomed.

Hi everyone!

I'm really enjoying my time on linux for working (as a web dev) and also for gaming, but still I rely on a windows 11 dual boot to do music production. Needless to say it's a pain I'd like to live without, but I'd need some advice.

I mostly work inside Reaper, with a lot of free VST plugins both for mixing and programming MIDI instruments. I guess these are the easiest to setup on a linux machine, but what about the payed ones? I use neural dsp software for guitars and bass, getgood drums and various acustica audio VSTs for mixing and mastering.

Does anyone have experience with this software? I thought of using Wine or something of that kind, but I think it would take me a lot of time to figure out how to manage the whole licenses management.

Any good advice is welcome, also if there's already some good resources on the internet that I can reference that would be really nice.
