I’m honestly impressed with the performance of the pi lol
I just wish Reason would make it Linux compatible. Would never return to windows, ever
Looks it could run somehow. Seems no results for current wine version…

Also found this comment:
I’d recommend not using an emulated DAW for real production work, but using the Reason Rack VST in a Linux native DAW that supports it is excellent. A DAW will want hardware access and wine hardware drivers don’t really exist, so for best results, try using a Linux native DAW (there are several)

I’ve read in the past that some DAWs like FL Studio run quite well in Wine, but I’ve never tried it myself. I agree that it’s best just to use a native Linux DAW.
Seems FL Studio has some gold and even platinum ratings:

I liked the old name FruityLoops more, I guess it was too playful and toy-like, but FL Studio is just a crappy name imho.
They apparently had a pretty big negative stigma in the audio production world as just that; a toy for un-serious amateurs, or only useful for making beats or loops, instead of as a more general DAW for other genres.
I am all Linux on everything , except my studio computer. Always been a Mac. They have the least audio issues and most plugin support.
Now, if you’re willing to deal with issues and only use stock plugins, reaper on linux is great. Fine for a board rip or a quick live performance. But anything studio or mixing, I need osx.
Why is he talking about the CPU. Is this supposed to be testing hardware and if a pi can handle as much as a prebyilt mac, or is he comparing operating systems?
Unfortunately he decided to test both hardware and software. The comments pointed out that testing Linux on a pi was sandbagging it, but he responded he wanted to test the cheapest options. Apparently he will try Linux on an older workstation laptop he has, but I wish he’d done that from the start, as people may suspect Linux is buggy due to the ARM version of Reaper crashing.
Yeah, then he should have tried it on the cheapest version of Windows, at minimum. Saying your seeing if you can do it without Windows, and then trying Linux on the cheapest hardware it will run on is a really dumb comparison. He didn’t even go with the cheapest option, could have done an older pi with 4gb.
I guess being a competent musician doesn’t necessarily mean you are going to be good at appropriately labeling software videos, but for sure people aren’t getting a remotely decent understanding of what was being tested there unless they also were wondering if they could get decent performance off of a really cheap Linux box.
