I really liked the DAW itself, but how does it handle VST's? I tried setting my studio up on Linux with Bitwig a while ago and it was causing me a lot of pain and I gave up. Ableton is the only reason I still keep a dual-boot.
replyVSTs work perfectly fine in Bitwig. Whether a plugin supports linux is a different question though. I've tried to run windows VSTs via yabridge under linux but that was barely usable.
replyWas that some time ago? I find Yabridge to work reliably on numerous plugins.
replyYes, I remember trying to set up Omnisphere and it just wouldn't work for me. So my issues were related to windows VST's. I used Wine and yabridge, which did install them but they weren't usable.
replyI didn't face any VST related issues on linux.
reply+1 bitwig. It's so fun
reply+2 as a beginner in Ableton and Bitwig, I'm a bigger fan of Bitwig.
