Make fantastic music with Linux Mint!
There are a lot of musicians out there who, like me, cannot afford to buy all the expensive gears necessary to produce music. Well, thanks to the Open Source Community, today anyone can start making beautiful music without having to spend any money upfront. However, once you do start making money, please don’t forget to donate to the open source software developers who allow us to make our dreams come true!
The following is a tutorial for installing Windows vst instruments and plugins in Linux Mint but you can follow the same steps for Ubuntu and other compatible systems.
What you need:
- Latest version of Wine Stable
- Latest version of LMMS . The latest version is still in Beta so if you don’t feel comfortble with that, follow this guide for installing Vestige in the stable version of LMMS.
- A link to some of the tons of free Vsts available (e.g.: VST 4 FREE)
- Follow the step by step guide in the video tutorial below.
LMMS tends to crash quite often when using Vsts, the best way to keep it stable is to save your work after every edit or vst upload.
Leave a comment below if you have any other tips related to this topic, or if you have any issues. Most Vsts work perfectly fine however a few may not work, in that case the only thing you can do is download a similar vst made by a different company.
