airwave VS LinVst

VST-wise the situation is decent on Linux. WINE supports a good amount and works pretty well now. I've seen some comments here saying Bitwig supports 32-bit plugins natively and I don't know about that since I switched back to Windows a year ago, but when I was using it, I had to use a bridge, and I used one called Airwave, which worked great. You set each plugins up once and then if it works, it works without issues after that!

I have never tried using that plugin on linux, but you could try using the windows version with Airwave, a windows VST to linux VST bridge. Can't guarantee that it will work perfectly, though.

There is a program called Airwave that you can use, which allows you to convert windows vsts into linux vsts. It requires wine, and the windows vsts need to be located somewhere on the virtual C:\ drive. Airwave can be found here: https://github.com/psycha0s/airwave/releases/download/1.3.3/airwave_1.3.3-1_amd64.deb

I have heard good things about Airwave: https://github.com/psycha0s/airwave

airwave works similar to LinVst (also based on Wine)

Waves VST are a quite a bit more involved, you will want to sort of follow the instructions here: https://github.com/osxmidi/LinVst/tree/master/Tested-VST-Plugins just ignore any linvst (if any) stuff and at the end do the sync process as described in yabridge. Make sure yabridge is searching the plugins in the right path, in my case this is what yabridge list shows:

-Use LinVST to get the plugins outside of Wine. Link

I just wanted to follow up for you or anybody who might end up here, I also managed to get the VST working outside of wine using LinVST.

The main problem with Linux audio is the lack of support for most Windows VST plugins, but u-he make all their plugins for Linux and they are some of the best. You can also use https://github.com/osxmidi/LinVst as an emulator.

https://github.com/osxmidi/LinVst/tree/master/Tested-VST-Plugins There are some instructions for it on linvst github, may work with yabridge too but I haven't tested it as I don't like creating unnecessary accounts everywhere and waiting for some discussion here if plugin is worth it :)

There are some projects which allow you to use vst2 from what i've heard in /r/opensource e.g https://github.com/osxmidi/LinVst

I’ve had success with linvst (https://github.com/osxmidi/LinVst) to use windows vst plugins in Linux in the past, try that

There's this project!

I am actually using Windows but this might work https://github.com/osxmidi/LinVst
