Brad mentioned VST Plugins in an earlier post.

I hope you've looked at my page on using VST plugins under Linux. I also
hope you read it *carefully*, because running VST plugins under Linux is
non-trivial (IMO).
First, some updated stuff: Kjetil has essentially abandoned his
vstserver project in favor of other interesting involvements, so your
better bets now are either jack_fst or the dssi-vst bridge. I've
recently got the DSSI stuff working under Demudi so I'll add some more
material to the VST tutorial Real Soon Now.
I have dozens of VST and VSTi Plugins, and every
single one of them works.
Same here, but inconsistencies abound. Some work under vstserver but not
under jack_fst. As I said, I've only started to test VST plugins under DSSI.
This shows that IT IS POSSIBLE. I find it amusing that
to run VST or
VSTi plugins, I had to install a piece of Windows software. It makes me
wonder if the future of music production using GNU/Linux is to run (entry
level) Windows audio software under WINE.
Well, it probably won't happen here at Studio Dave. ;)
Why "amusing" ? After all, they're designed for only Windows and the
Mac, so I find it more astonishing than amusing (but I'm also coming at
it from the advantage of someone who has the jack_fst stuff working).
Best,
