The main thing I notice is piping audio around from one piece of software to another.
It's braindead simple in Linux (so long as you have JACK or Pipewire setup and the software is JACK aware), but as far as I could ever figure out, it's pretty much impossible in Windows.
I use voicemeeter on Windows and really struggled to find a good alternative to the software for Linux. Found something, but it was kinda trash. Any tips? This is one of two things holding me back from switching my gaming pc over.
First time I’ve heard of that DAW. The UI reminds me a bit of Aurdour or MixBus. Personally I prefer Reaper.
Aurdour is FOSS and under heavy development, so if you’ve tried it in the past you might want to take another look at it. Reaper and MixBus are both proprietary. Played with MixBus some but it wasn’t for me. UI kept flummoxing me. Reaper made more sense to me off the bat and so I stuck with it.
If your needs are really simple though you might see if Audacity might work. Also FOSS. It’s more an overgrown voice recorder than a DAW though.
There are a lot of options in that space and it’s strongly a personal preference thing.
