I would want Ableton to work well and without complicated funky bridging virtual bullshit. Yeah yeah I know about bitwig. I want Ableton

I didn’t want to go back to Windows so bad, I actually taught myself Reaper lol. It’s by far the best DAW I’ve used (former FL and Abelton user,).

Not gonna like, though, it was a pretty rough ride and steep initial learning curve like all creative programs be. I could like it to playing the guitar for ten years and suddenly you have to play left-handed. Like, you can so do it, but fuuuuuuuu

Yeah I’ve used Reaper too and I prefer it for certain types of work, especially orchestral composition, because of the more powerful midi editing. But for digital sound design Ableton seems much more powerful still - do you agree, or maybe I need to look into reaper’s effects more?
I theory you can do the same stuff, just a different workflow. Stock reaper fX are…ok. But vsts perform the same. But…not so much on Linux. Some do, but others like native instruments don’t nativly. And that’s what’s holding me back from Linux. Too deep into eco systems that aren’t supported. NI, addict it’d ive keys, addictive drums, izotope. If I moved to linux it’d change my sound.
