I have been having fun getting back into working on a track. I'm mixing a song from a friend of mine on #opensourcemusicians channel on Freenode. Maybe a bit of producing as well, depending on where one were to try to draw the line between the two (it's kind of a moving line in my book). I'm almost done with it. I'm getting a bit nervous, now. I hope he likes what I did with it.

@daggerhartrocks @draco Carla is a plugin program that supports all manner of VSTs, including Windows VSTs using WINE. I haven't used them myself, but there are plenty of others who can. Carla is part of KX Studio, and I believe there's a PPA you can access to install it, though I'm on Arch, so I won't be much help there. If you use IRC, folks in #opensourcemusicians or #lau on Freenode should be able to help you out with getting up and running.

@unfa The Linux /fOSS audio communities are so fragmented as it is. Freenode has several different channels for FOSS, including #opensourcemusicians (which is the channel I typically hang in), #lau for Linux Audio Users, #lad for Linux Audio Developers... Matrix has several channels, there is the LAU forum... I'd more recommend connecting with the community where they already are instead of fragmenting it further.
