The performance of virtual box (or any other solution that requires a
full blown copy of Windows to be running) will leave much to be desired.

As far as I understand it, there are some great programs for this.  This
is not my thing so I am not the best person to ask.  I know that there
some people doing this sort of thing, so I am pretty sure it is doable.
 Again, don't take my word for it.

On the other hand, audio and music is my bag, and I can tell you that
there are tons of applications that taken together, far exceed what I
can do under windows.

your regular Ubuntu install (essentially layering on top).  Stop
thinking like a Windows or Mac user :)

Their site details this procedure.
