Re: [Trisquel-users] Using proprietary softwares through wine

[jagsoul]

Ableton won't work but not because it is propietary, just because it didnt  
have a gnu/linux version/release ( as many of the most well known  
commercially and famous DAW's out there ). I do use Trisquel for audio  
editing/recording even using audio interfaces and other tools, i mainly use  
Ardour as well as LMMS, and sometimes Qtractor. There arent too many  
professional DAW's and the ones that exists aren't up to the same "high  
standards levels" of the propietary ones that will run on Windows or OSX.  
Mostly because the are community driven and their development depends on  
donations, and some of them not even count on that... BUT they arent too far  
behind either (Ardour and audacity are crossplatform too and are being used  
on those systems too ). There are also lots of plugins and virtul instruments  
as synthetizers( some of them crossplatforms too ), it does also depends on  
what kind of music you do, or for what other pourposes you need those tools,  
do some research, test them using a LiveCD, and you might find a replacement  
for Ableton.

Cheers.
