This is where I landed. I got annoyed trying to set up FL through Wine, so I decided to just give Reaper a shot. There has been some learning involved, but I am enjoying it.

For whatever reason it was easier for me to learn a new DAW and native Linux Plugins than it was for me to learn how to properly set up FL and plugins in Wine.

I will probably give FL a go again when I have more time, but I just couldn’t wrap my head around the things I needed to fix.
