Mixbus Essentials for Linux

[Lexridge]

The Calf plugins are indeed very good!

That's news to me. But YMMV of course...

I guess I should have said, the Calf plugins I have used are very good. I have only used a few of them.

Strange your MB crashes often. Mine has never crashed on me.

They are definitely known to cause such issues - crashes, preventing sessions to be reloaded, etc...

...apart from that the fact that there are several Calf plugins with misbehaving DSP or at least not doing what they are intended to do - unless that has changed the past couple of months.

There are numerous better alternatives out there on Linux - maybe just not with so much bling.

As a hobbyist, I am not running MB as much as some of you professionals are. I just use it mostly to lay down quick ideas, then usually attempt to finish them at a later date. Sometimes they never go any further. Their Fluidsynth plugin is rock solid! It is probably the one I use the most. Also, the chorus plugin is nice too.
