sonobus VS yabridge

Sounds like you could use https://sonobus.net/ and possibly https://vdo.ninja/ but you might have that already covered with jitsi.

Our collaboration software might look something like Sonobus and vdo.ninja for live jamming (if we're close enough), Discord or Whatsapp for chatting, maybe Area for reviewing mix-downs, and Bandlab for stem-sharing (Reaper too, if you've got it). I'm open to all suggestions. I'm also interested in learning how to use something like Sonic Sound Picture to do visualisations, or maybe creating AI generated animations, if deciding to upload anything to YT.

If you're in a 2000km of each other and have good wired connections, Sonobus is absolutely amazing, especially in conjunction with video.ninja.

There's a plugin out there for this. https://sonobus.net

Most of these Android TV boxes can pair with bluetooth speakers, head phones and ear buds, however most mobile phones can't receive audio through bluetooth, they can only transmit it. I think the aux is disabled when bluetooth is used, or maybe it was the opposite. I'm not sure now because I tried to do this a few years ago and gave up because it was easier to just buy a bluetooth headset. Most of the apps I found were not free and were more about pc to mobile. There may be some more apps around now. Most popular apps I considered, were not bluetooth but WiFi network ones like this https://sonobus.net/

This sounds promising: https://sonobus.net/ Multi-user, multi-platform, open-source, completely free.

If you're looking to do this over wi-fi, try Sonobus.

> To my knowledge all VST plugins can be used on Linux (via Wine). Is that not the case?

Yes, although I would recommend Yabridge rather than linvst.

https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge

It should be already packaged in some Linux distros, but building and installation are straightforward. Basically it installs some libraries and an executable which once called will convert a Windows plugin in .dll form in a Linux+WINE loadable .so library.

If you use the Linux port, you may want to use Yabridge to load Windows VSTs in a transparent way.

Look into yabridge. You can test it with your plugins to confirm it'll work. Won't cost you anything.

But yeah Yabridge for me worked the best way. https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge

NAM vst works with Yabridge. You will get native GUI that way. Protesus is a good alternative with native Linux version and it is integrated into BYOD through GuitarML processor. BYOD is the best sounding guitar software (IMHO), Linux or not.
