I don't like these "win vs linux apps" talks. Users should be able to use the software that does the appropriate work. (no matter which os) (how idealistic..) (...and I will always prefer FOSS) Wine is very usefull. Running windows apps on linux is very usefull. For example: I sometimes *need* to use photoshop though I do most stuff with the gimp now. If ps were not running on linux, it would require me to still use windows. (Thank you wine devs) I would like to tell asking musicans: "As long, as there's no similar linux native app, just use "Ableton Live" (or whatever) with wine.." Since (many) VSTis *are running* with wine, why not use them (- as long as they do what you need and there's no such dssi/ladspa atm.) There are 3 (or more) vst-solutions, but no one is matter, easy to install or usable with the current wine-version (?) Hope that changes soon. The only thing that worked for me was the dssi-vst. Only drawbacks: (no simple install (apt)) and: there was only one midi-channel connectable, (wich was the reason that it was not realy usefull, for what I wanted to do) Regards, Emanuel ...and please excuse my propably faulty speach/writing
