Unfortunately I need to stay with Windows for the moment only for Ableton Live, which is IMO the best Pro Audio/Music creation tool. I can't run it in a VM because only basic sound features work in a VM (I'm using a PCI soundcard, actually thinking about it now, maybe USB3 soundcards could work well in a VM?).
Also Photoshop is pretty much the gold standard for image editing, but I could be happy running that in a VM.
- anonbanker 10y agoAbleton Live works really well in Wine with the WineASIO plugins and JACK. Should you want a sandboxed VM, Windows in KVM/Qemu with USB passthrough, and GPU passthrough might solve all your audio/photoshop needs.
- hrnnnnnn 10y agoCheck out Bitwig, it's very similar to Ableton. That said, I can't recommend it right now as it's still quite buggy. Worth keeping an eye on if you want to get off Windows though.
