Linux has it's own set of plugin standards: LV2, LAPSDA and DSSI. FOSS developers have been developing their own solutions for some time based around the jack audio server. I don't think there is any money in it for the big companies (extra development costs, extra bug fixes, extra support etc.). I was wondering if there were any developers out there planning to Port pro audio applications to Ubuntu so engineers / musicians can use Ubuntu instead of the other popular OS's. I wish the developers luck in their developments Especially where portable PC's are concerned. I think that Ubuntu has tremendous potential. Native Instruments Plug Ins including Traktor The applications that I would be most interested in seeing ported (and sold for same price as on other OS) are as follows: I was wondering if there were any developers out their planning to Port pro audio applications to Ubuntu so engineers / musicians can use Ubuntu instead of the other popular OS's. I turned to Ubuntu after getting spyware hacked on the Mac, and once I started using it, I realised how good it was in terms of stability, price (free) and speed, so thought that it may also be a good OS to use for multi track recording / midi sequencing.Īt the moment I use Ubuntu for running email, although would like to run pro audio apps as well. although I have also used Windows OS for some time.

Over the last 15 or so years, I have used mostly Mac OS to run Midi/multi track recorders and sequencers to record and create music.

I am a long term pro audio user who has recently discovered Ubuntu as a stable alternative OS to WIndows and OS x.
