- I've always wanted to do music recording on Linux (literally since the 90s). The fact that my preferred DAW (Reaper) has long been native to Linux has tempted me. But I have Universal Audio "Apollo" interface and have bought into their whole ecosystem which is very good and runs really great on my mac.
If I made the plunge I would get an RME USB audio interface and use Reaper, maybe play around with Bitwig which is also native on Linux. I don't think I would mess with WINE, regardless of other's success stories with it.
I'm glad to see where things have gone in recent years though

- Oh nice. I'd have loved to have had this a few months ago. It's not overly easy to find VST plugins for Linux, and I've missed that since moving from Windows last year.
- Is it possible to wedge WINE between a Windows VST and a native Linux DAW?
- I absolutely love the progress that was made in the several last years! The number of VST/audio plugins available on linux has grown from being quite a problem to having an actual ecosystem!
- This is a nice resource. Personally I use linux vst plugin on bespoke synth. But bitwig, renoise and reaper all support linux for those who want or need commercial audio applications on linux. With pipewire and new kernel changes everything is coming together for linux to perform much better than windows + asio.
- Do any audio filters/plugins exist that are effective at disguising a voice in real time, such that it would be difficult to identify the speaker / match against samples of their unfiltered voice?
(Pitch shifting is easy and widely available, but also trivial to reverse, so it's not good enough.)
I'm mainly interested for anonymity in online gaming, but I could see it also being a helpful privacy measure in other situations.
- So much choice. I a little too much -
How do I know which are good / worth trying?
Where do I start?!
