You can also try Bitwig, it has native Ubuntu support and most feature parity with Ableton.
- wtdata 7y agoI tried the preemptive kernel and didn't make a difference. I also tried Bitwig and it's great, but I use a Push I. That creates an issue (Bitwig support for Push fails in 2 major points: note repeat, and delete functionality... and they keep making changes without adding something as simple as that to the devices API).
- james-mcelwain 7y agoI'm so happy that Bitwig is supporting Linux as a first class platform, but it's still unstable enough on Linux that I would never consider using Bitwig on Linux for, e.g., a live performance. I'm sure they consider crashes on Linux real bugs, so hopefully it's just a few more years of work to have a rock solid DAW on Linux. Super excited about the future of Bitwig.
