Yes, I have looked in the megathread. Specifically under the sections “All Purpose”, “Tools”, and “Software”… however, I didn’t find any general, all purpose websites for cracked software. Or at least, the megathread never had something in it that said “great website for cracked software”.

Thanks in advance. :)

      For many reasons I don’t wanna get into, DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) on Linux suck. I have a dedicated windows machine for audio production.

        I am not an expert but I think you can achieve some things in Linux that won’t be possible under Windows, thanks to pipewire and Jack, giving you a lot more control. I would definitely recommend you to check out JACK and pipewire. Ubuntu studio is an example of beginner-friendly Linux distribution that’s audio/video production centric that comes with everything installed and configured. If I was you I would at least check it out.

        Additionally, there is a plethora of open source software, like Audacity, Mixxx, Ardour, etc.

        And to be honest, the risk of using cracked software and catching malware is much higher and if you do audio production for a living I would strongly suggest you to avoid it if possible, not to mention any legal complications that might arise of using cracked software!

          With all due respect, I’m all for FOSS but DAWs don’t really have a good alternative. Recommending Audacity over FL/Live/Logic like saying Paint is a good free alternative for Photoshop. Doesn’t really make sense.

          Iirc the only DAW that might barely be enough is LMMS which runs on Linux.

      AutoCAD and Ableton are my two most-used pieces of software. There are no FOSS alternatives that get anywhere close

        FreeCAD or Libre CAD, and LMMS are options, but not sure how feature rich they are.

          Trust me…I’d kill to get Autodesk and their always-online DRM off my PC…but those are not alternatives. I do CAD professionally with established standards and LISP routines. I’d have to learn a new programming language to even consider switching
