wineasio VS yabridge

Don't know if it will remedy your situation but I've had more success using WineASIO with FL Studio and my Focusrite on MX Linux. https://github.com/wineasio/wineasio

I haven't done it, and I don't know what you did in Arch, but it looks like there are some repos from https://github.com/wineasio/wineasio that you can add since Ubuntu is Debian based? Or you can build it, but it might be more of a pain.

As for FL-Studio, I never tried it myself, because native apps are much more preferred (apart from Ardour, there are commercial ones like Reaper, Bitwig, Waveform,...), but it seems to work through Wine as far as I google it. Keep in mind though, that making low latency audio going along with Windows software while completely possible, will require you to jump through some hoops. There is the wineasio project, and I didn't try it for years, but last time I used it around 2018, it worked.

You need to install it to your WINE prefix. This readme has detailed instructions: https://github.com/wineasio/wineasio/blob/master/README.md

You will also need wineasio, which willredirect audio from Asio to Jack. Follow this to add the revelevant depository, then run sudo apt-get update and finally sudo apt-get install wineasio .

Just build it from source.

Trouble is, all the install guides I can find are for Ubuntu (or Debian based systems), and I end up getting an error when trying to make the .dll from the Github, so can anyone guide me in installing it on Fedora?

The latency is fine under PipeWire, but you can set up wineasio if you would like even better latency.

MIDI will be fine but most audio interfaces use some form of ASIO drivers so it's probably more complicated than it needs to be. https://github.com/wineasio/wineasio

> 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.

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.
