Yo, #Audio folks! Good news! #Steinberg #VST 3.8 SDK is now MIT licensed [1], the #ASIO license model has been extended to support GPLv3, which will help OBS users [2].

Are there any good guides about moving music production to Linux?

#microsoft think my current, perfectly-good PC should become e-waste. So naturally I'd love to move to #linux and plan to have a drive on there for daily-drive stuff like web-browsing and the like.

But I've invested a great deal of money in software like #ableton Live, and a ton of VSTs which, by all accounts, are a proper ballache to get going under Linux.

I know #renoise and #vcvrack have Linux versions, and there are probably some ways to get #vst plugins to run, but what would I realistically lose moving to Linux?

I really, really don''t want to have to have a #windows11 drive, but it's looking like I'll have to.

CHeers.

Open Steinberg: VST3 and ASIO SDKs now have open source licenses. And that's significant for free music and sound tools, plus a promised collaboration with OBS.

Really curious what folks think of this and if it solves a problem for you. #opensource @OBSProject #vst #windows #linux
