Just to clarify - I do have many more plugins than those I listed above, including many on Audiojunkie's list (i.e. Note: I’m grouping “Sampling” in here, although Sample-Based Synthesis and Sampling are actually different.īTW. Other Types: Additive, Spectral, Phase Distortion, Granular, Vector, Physical Modeling, etc., etc. Venomode Phrasebox $$ - VST2/VST3 Phrase Arp LV2 port of the C* Audio Plugins Suite (caps-lv2) MDA-lv2 Plugins (gui-less): G (David Robillard on Gitlab)įluidSynthPlug, Fluida.lv2, or FluidSynthVSTĮlephant DSP Room Reverb (binaries on Github) LinuxSampler (Also needs Qsampler & Gigedit): H G= Binaries on Github, Gitlab, Sourceforge, etc The best apps are well supported, have a HIDPI scaling, are in general problem-free, and look and sound great. The preference is given to those tools with the following attributes: The binaries need to be available for most distros from reliable sources such as the default distro repository or the developer’s site like GitHub. ![]() This is a list of (what is in my opinion) the best Pro Audio tools available natively for Linux. A lit of it is my own opinion and notes, and may not relate to the topic-YMMV. Third, this is just a “select-all/copy” of my page of notes. It will serve as a good starting point, but do your own research. Much of it is correct, but some of it isn’t anymore. Second, this list (and the info therein) is dated. First, this list is by no means exhaustive-there is much more out there. We haven’t done one of these in a while, and there have been a lot of new releases since the last time we did this, so thank you! I’ll post my list, which is largely redundant of the list above, but it expands on it. Many thanks for your thoughts! I appreciate it and look forward to the journey! Very excited to jump back into Linux audio, feeling very confident this time will be for keeps! ![]() In your response, if you could please also list the Linux DAW(s) you use (I assume one of them is Reaper of course!), and also your preferred distro, that would be very helpful too! So starting with native plugins (I'll save Yabridge, etc., for another list), what are the most stable native third-party plugins that you use? Include any paid/free/open source ones you love - just the best native plugins in your personal experience. I've looked at lists like and but I wanted to get some direct, up-to-date feedback on the best, most reliable plugins you use. I might go with with Ubuntu Studio and I might even test some other Ubuntu-related distros like Linux Mint or Pop!_OS. I'm impressed with both Reaper and Bitwig on Linux (among others, and I've tested most of the Linux DAWs over the years as well), and I'll most likely stick with some flavor of Ubuntu, since that seems to be a common recommendation among developers. Long story, and it's been a while since my last attempt, but I've read a lot of promising things recently, and I feel like now is a great time to finally make the transition to Linux audio! I know some of you have been at it for a long time, so I want to tap into your wisdom and experience! Been using Reaper for many years, and I'm also a big fan of Linux for other reasons, but I've never been able to make the complete leap to Linux for pro audio work, and I always have to revert back to Windows or MacOS for one reason or another. Hi guys - very excited about Reaper for Linux.
