Another very simple DAW just came out of nothing:

LING-STATION

LingStation is a Rust-based DAW with an egui/eframe UI, VST3 hosting, a piano roll, and automation tools.
A program for creating cool music using VST3 and CLAP plugins, Audio Clips and Recordings, and Effects. Use the Arrangement tab, the Paramters Tab, the Piano Roll, and the Sidebar Browser and Mixer to make your ideal song. Supports automation lanes, MIDI import, and WAV/FLAC/OGG renders at most standard bitrate and samplerates. Compatible with most PCs and Soundcards. Cross-platform.
CLAP · VST3 · (AU?) | macOS · Windows · Linux

Price: 30$

Maybe important:
- On Linux, you need ALSA dev packages (libasound2-dev) to build.

The developer is also hanging around on KVR as it seems. viewtopic.php?t=628898





And another one from the LIM Plugin Collection:
LIM Plugin Collection is a collection of free audio plugins in VST3 and AU formats, developed by the bachelor students of the course "Development of technologies for music production" (Bachelor's Program in Informatica Musicale). As the plugin are made by the students, no responsibility is taken for their stability.
TheMasker is an automatic frequency masking compensation plugin.

Youlean Loudness Meter 2 - Linux BETA

Linux will be supported in the next version of YLM2!

We will start from the app itself, and then slowly add more formats. The idea is to use CLAP and/or VST3 for plugins.
via mail, very good news!

(Also: I'm Accused of lying about Linux—it boots, runs my pro audio workflow, stays stable, updates--though yearly dismissed as “niche”. Yet I'm the deluded one.)

On the first page it was mentioned that there was a rumour about Kilohearts releasing Linux native plugins. Has anyone heard anything about that since?

I went and contacted them directly about the rumor. They told me it was planned for version 4. Considering they are currently on version 2.4.6, make of it what you will. :/

MAIM features two real MP3 encoders, captured in the wild and painstakingly incorporated into a real-time plugin.

Fingers crossed as their Essentials bundle really does cover a lot of bases, especially with Snapheap.

Very Simple 909 Drum Machine;

Grid-909
Grid 909 is a living preset bank. Not sounds, grooves. 160 authentic TR-909 patterns across 8 genres, loaded straight into your DAW as a MIDI effect. And here's the thing: it doesn't write into some internal sequencer. It writes directly into MIDI. Every generated groove lands as real MIDI notes in your project, ready to edit like anything else.
