Hello fellow pirates! I made the switch to Linux almost a year ago and i really really really miss producing music. I honestly don’t want to bother with Ardour. Bitwig can’t be pirated afaik and my 4-Track license is just way too limiting for serious production. I really miss Ableton but i don’t really want to dualboot if there’s a way around it.

I was able to install Ableton and it works, but the crack doesn’t work due to some hardware-id shenanigans.

Has anyone else tried this? What options do i have? (Winboat, Wine, VMStudio etc.) Or shouldn’t i even bother and just bite the bullet and dualboot?

Alternatively: Is there a way to pirate a recent version of BitWig?

    Popping my head in here to suggest you try winboat, as that resolves 99% of my issues when programs refuse to run under wine. I am ignorant to the specifics on producing software but If you have a crack you know for a fact works on windows Id give it a shot in winboat. Just use the vnc window provided in winboat to make sure it actually loads up and works properly before you try and integrate it with your DE. Good luck!
