Whatyou are describing is not Linux Compatibility. You have to thank the WINE Maintainers/Creators in first first line. They made it possible for us to use software, which was designed for Windows on Linux. So Toontrack does not have anything to do with that.

What Toontrack did is writing a good and mostly stable software software you can use for music production. It It seems well written in terms of dependencies and performance. Other than Bias FX which crashes during opening the GUI the Toontrack products are not dependent on any very special stuff which WINE isn’t capable to deal with by now.

This is not Linux compatible. It is usable on Linux with some tweaks and tricks.

Nevertheless Toontrack did some pretty good work on their software. For a very good experience in WINE the software you want to use has to be written good and stable. That seems to apply on here.

Still, i wish for a native approach.

The biggest issue i’ve experienced are not properly working GUIs. Toontrack products (EZDrummer, Superior Drummer and EZMix work fine with WINE/Carla with wine-bridge. I’m using Reaper as welll and couldn’t say it wont work. The only “issue” with wrapped/non-native plugins is more clicking until you reach the GUI (in general two clicks more, bz they sum up…). But the benefits of using Linux are great (at least for me..)

One more vote for SD3 on Linux!

I managed to get SD3 Running with Ardour 5.12.7 on an Arch-Linux 5.18.16 with JACK2, Cadence and airwave as an WinVST-Wrapper. Wine for installation and Standalone.

It runs smoothly when wrapped with airwave but in Standalone-Mode via Wine i have very high latency.

A native Linux build would be great! Then we would have the opportunity to use SD3 in Standalone-Mode with E-Drums on live-performances! I think a native build would increase the stability as well as the usability on Linux! I couldn’t get Superior Drummer 3 running with Reaper for Linux.
