Quick question for #linuxaudio and #musicproduction , but how is the orchestral part of linux VSTS doing? I haven't seen many non-electronic based VSTS for linux in a while, and I'm curious how people find alternatives of Native instruments and/or spitfire and etc.

Honestly, this is a weak spot for Linux Audio. There are non‑synth options, but fewer than other platforms. Your best bets are SFZ, SoundFonts, and Decent Sampler. Linux has good samplers and some solid libraries—this is just a small slice (e.g., Audiomodern Soundbox).

@ercanbrack Thanks! I really wish this can improve in the coming years, especially with the rise in linux as a whole after the end of windows 10. Modartt is still the perfect example of how a corporation should do it (pianoteq).
