After some hair pulling trying to get Wine ASIO installed on Manjaro using Terminal (not a fan) I decided to make things easier for myself, started from scratch and switched over to the newest version of AV Linux (based on MX Linux/Debian) which is configured right out of the box for audio.lotus2035 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 13, 2023 8:31 pm For what it's worth, I have an older laptop which was sluggish as hell with Windows 10 installed.
I set up Manjaro XFCE on it, installed WINE, then installed the latest Windows version of FL Studio plus a handful of Windows VST 3 synths without a hitch.
For now I only installed either free Windows VSTis or ones that use a serial number like Helix, Dune 3, Synthmaster etc.
I would expect I might run into problems trying to install windows plugins using a plugin manager like Arturia's for example but it may very well be just as easy.
Overall this laptop feels like a different machine from when it was running WIN10.
On the other hand I also installed the Linux version of Bitwig Studio 8 track on the same machine and it was not playing nice at all.![]()
It's all up and running now, all my software installed, FL Studio using Wine ASIO plus the Linux version of Bitwig runs without issues too.
I like Manjaro a lot but for what we do AV Linux is the best choice especially for beginners who don't want to get overwhelmed with audio issues via Terminal.
As well as that I also found a good sync program for Linux called Insync that works well with Microsoft OneDrive which I have used in the past to sync audio between desktop and laptop. It's a paid app though but really cheap.
