Fruity Loops doesn’t have any easy equivalent on Linux. I’d say try reaper and ardour as they provide windows binaries. Be careful LMMS isn’t a FL clone, it’s midi only.

For the Arturia plugins you can install them with wine and use yabridge to make them compatible if they are not in vst compatible format (ardour can take vst2 and vst3 but sometimes it will not work). You can also have a dedicated PC for instruments (it is what I do) on windows (using audio gridder). Gotta test the Linux server version of audio gridder to see if I can go back to linux on m’y second PC. Or you can just send the midi notes to pc2 then get the audio out to pc1.

It’s doable to make proprietary plugins run on Linux but the reliability is the nightmarish part, as an update can break the wine compatibility and it can take a few mins/hours to restore.

It’s a real issue because, technical aspect aside, lots of instruments cost a lot of money and are necessary to keep up with the trend. Also theses plugins can save you a lot of time, meaning you can provide more music on short time (effect plugins are concern as well here).

As a professional music composer myself and working on Linux with Ardour, I’d say it is overall pretty good since many years. If you don’t like midi in Ardour you can use another soft to runs midi notes. On Linux the good thing is that if you don’t like something you can change, specially with audio softwares.

To me the two major issues with professional music on Linux are :

  • Proprietary plugins for virtual instruments are a nightmare (hard to make them to work, expensive on machine’s resources and unreliable),

  • Most company still think free software = unprofessional/amateur, which can make it harder to get jobs.

Même chose que sur l’article du Monde : pas de proposition d’alternatives. C’est pas un peu problématique de faire comme si elles existaient pas ?

I made a remix of this entire album, if anyone’s interested it aim to get closer to the traditional korn sound (but there is still some dubstep inside) : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oUGphAGHX1Q&pp=ygUKS29ybiByZW1peA%3D%3D

You should setup a yunohost server for her.

But you should be upfront about being a teacher for her not being a helper.

For the others in the topic, yes teaching people to be autonomous with the digital is a lot of work (and a lot of phone calls), but it’s also really rewarding for both you and “the student”.

I think it’s in Debian main repository so it should be fine :)

It won’t appears in many research because it’s a libre software. And libre softwares get almost no press coverage from medias, so no good SEO for search engines.
