That’s a good question but not one I can adequately answer. I’m currently mostly using a low-end setup so I’m just sandboxing my plugins as one.

Have you tried Bitwig?

Bitwig Studio! Made from former Ableton devs so it’s similar but the workflow is amazing for modulation and sound design. Plus Linux support. Not free but you can rent-to-own via splice (you do not need an active splice sounds sub).

Edit: oh and it can also sandbox your plugins (either individually, by company, or all together) so having a vst crash doesn’t bring down your whole project.
