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?

Unfortunately can’t help with Ableton specifically, but I’ve been using Ardour for some audio tinkering and from what I can tell it’s free and pretty full featured…
