Yeah, peripherals lol. All my sim stuff is working brilliantly in Linux, however I still have some audio production stuff I need Windows for. Unfortunately, due to the need for minimal hardware latency and all that, Wine and VMs aren't an option. Also a lack of drivers for some midi devices sucks.

Really? I run my home studio in Nobara Linux without any latency issues. I use Reaper as my DAW. Are you using yabridge?

Yeah I have tried it, but didn't have luck unless I was driverless and that meant losing velocity. Maybe I configured wrong, it was kind of confusing but the internet said it was facing the same issues as me. Mainly this was for Roland stuff.

I was going to just get a laptop for Windows to record onto next to instruments and then transfer, but I'd rather just be able to plug into the DAW.

That's really strange. I have an M-Audio 60ish key and a smaller Novation Nocturn MIDI keyboard as well as a Roland electric drum kit and have no issues doing anything over MIDI with them on Linux.

Maybe its worth another try? I don't need drivers for any of that stuff.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Huh, weird.

Okay, I'm definitely trying again.

Some of my older gear is fine, but an example of something that wasn't working was my TD-27 V2 on a kit. What module is on yours?

Wine can actually beat native in latency, since it's a pretty thin translation layer and windows is ... windows.
I'd give it a shot just in case.
