Brad mentioned VST Plugins in an earlier post.

have you posted any of the problems you had with using these methods?
your only chance of happiness in this area is to get jack_fst or
dssi-vst happening.
I have had perfect success with a
"free" version of Muzsys that Computer Music
Magazine had on one of their
CD's: CompMuzsys. This works flawlessly under WINE. It is an "entry
level" piece of software, but does have fairly good mixing. It has
lots of latency and only primitive MIDI editing. But if I'm in Linux
and want to do something quickly without rebooting, this is the way
I go. CompMuzsys is the only Windows audio program that I have seen
that works under Linux just like it does under Windows. I have dozens
of VST and VSTi Plugins, and every single one of them works.
yeah, muzys works well, but rosegarden/muse work better.
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.
well, most VST plugins *are* 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.
definitely not ... you're gonna be in for a lot of frustration if you
take this approach. it is the approach i took when first using linux
audio - the first step for a windows convert is always to try getting
every program they used on windows to work on linux. bit of advice -
stop this quest now, and get hip with linux audio apps.
