Linux Studio Plugins is an audio production suite that provides a broad collection of studio-oriented plug-ins for Linux and other supported platforms.
It’s designed for musicians, producers, engineers, and audio developers who need processing, analysis, routing, metering, and utility tools across common Linux audio workflows. The main repository now serves as an aggregation and build point for the wider LSP Plugins ecosystem, pulling source code from the project’s split subrepositories.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports CLAP, LADSPA, LV2, VST2/LinuxVST, VST3, and JACK standalone formats.
- Includes equalizers, dynamics processors, multiband processors, convolution tools, delay effects, analyzers, samplers, generators, modulation effects, and utility plug-ins.
- Provides graphical plug-ins and standalone JACK versions for selected tools.
- Works with supported hosts including Ardour, Bitwig Studio, Carla, Mixbus, Qtractor, Reaper, Renoise, and Tracktion.
- Offers binary release bundles for individual plug-in formats together with source builds for users who prefer compiling the project.
- Uses a modular project structure where the main repository gathers dependencies from other LSP Plugins repositories.
