He's a musician, he's switched to Bitwig. Ok, but what about VSTs? I have a collection of instruments I can't leave behind, many are NI, so I'm currently forced to use Windows or Mac.
NI recently filed for bankruptcy! This means that the licence server will probably be shut down at some point. Take the opportunity now. :-P
I've been using Bitwig for two years now. And already produced a complete album with success. Next album is already following. :-)
Many of Bitwig's own plugins are very good, and there are now top-notch native VSTs for Linux! Alternatively, there is yabridge for running Win VSTs.
Great Linux VST manufacturers:
U-he, DDMF, Toneboosters, TAL, Bluelabs, etc.
