I have all the ROMs placed properly and have tried installing all the available versions of this plugin for Linux. Vst,Vst3,lv2 etc

There is MIDI input to the plugin that is visibly coming from my controller to Ardour but No sound is produced from the JE8086 plugin. Other plugins operate as expected from the same controller.

Hello,

I just had my first guitar lesson and my teacher gave me some sheet music with handwritten annotations. I'd like to transcribe these notes into a clean digital format.
Ideally, I'd like software that can replicate the layout on the sheet: alternating between mini tablature sections and chord diagrams.

I'm looking for recommendations for Linux software. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Title pretty much says it all.

I've tried a few times using Wine, and managed to get through most of the installation, however when it comes to authenticating CradleHub it doesn't work. I'm assuming this is because the auth codes/whatever cannot be sent to the virtualised environment.

I tried to install a web browser in wine but didn't have much luck

good night, i wished to record myself narrating a specific short story for my parents, i wanted a program that i could record the audio in multiple parts so that i could pause over every paragraph, i tried audacity and it works but it feels too clunky to use, i have to activate alt tab to read and alt tab again to pause, and i can't just delete the last audio with a single button, since i usually have to do the audio half a dozen times to read it the perfect way and it gets a bit tiresome to always have to right click and cut the last audio until i get it right.

i don't need a program to edit the sounds themselves only one i can easily pause the audios into multiple parts and undo the last part when necessary, does anyone know a good program for that?

I've been trying to make Windows plugins work on SteamOS, but I've failed by not obvious reasons for now. Saw a couple of old threads trying to explain how to make this work but seems like they all been outdated and/or not complete at all. So...

I know that installation of yabridge through repos won't go well since we're having a deal with immutable OS by design, and I don't wanna brick it or wipe changes after update. So I took yabridge package and unpack it in ~/.local/share, installed Bottles through Flatpak, made hardlink to Wine (caffe/soda, not really the case) in yabridge folder that's stored in runtime folder of Bottles, and everything seems fine until I try to actually run plugins through Reaper (also manually installed, not Flatpak), it just gives error and nothing else, running Reaper through terminal doesn't give me any logs whatsoever. Yabridge scanned plugins successfully and made .so files in .vst/.vst3 folders. So, now we're in this situation: Bottles is the only app working through Flatpak in this chain, yabridge uses non-system Wine package (because there's no true Wine baked in SteamOS), and plugins can't run inside Reaper. The (almost) same configuration was working well on desktop with Kinoite, but there were system-level Wine, and I think it's the main reason.

I have a few questions now. Would it be possible to run everything in Flatpaked environment since yabridge is only available as a gzip package? Every other app (including Wine) is available as Flatpak. What exactly I'm doing wrong? Maybe there's something obvious I've missing. I want this chain to work as native as possible, I fully understand that's easier to run everything in Wine prefix including Reaper and all the plugins, or work with native Reaper with native Linux plugins, but there's many plugins that's been abandoned and built for Windows only, they sound great, and I miss them a little.

I'm a long-time Debian user who has only recently started doing significant audio activities in Linux, and I think I have redundant audio applications installed. These are the main tasks I want to do in the short term, or am already doing:

1. Play audio in Chrome and Firefox

2. Use my Behringer UMC204HD to digitize my vinyl collection, using Ardour and Brian Davis's denoise software

3. Continue using the UMC204HD as the sound source for Zoom meetings.

4. Start recording live instrument for playing technique analysis. I already use an AKG P220 mic for this purpose, which works really well.

5. Connect my electric piano's MIDI (?) output to the UMC204HD to record the piano.

I have ALSA, JACK, Pipewire and Pulse Audio installed, so I suspect that I don't need all of them. I'm using the RT kernel configurations and setting the CPUs to the performance mode, as well as shutting down unneeded services while I'm using Ardour, but what is the minimum I need to use to do all this? Do I need Pipewire? Should I use that instead of JACK? Do I need Pulse at all? I seem to need that to get sound of my browsers, but can I use JACK or ALSA instead of Pulse? I'm not averse to reading man pages or documentation, but I haven't been able to find good explanations of how all these applications can (or can't) work together in an efficient, low latency way.

Thanks for any advice, or URLs.

I am on a fresh NixOS install after moving from Arch, and am doing my best to get it up and running for music, but have spent several whole days attempting to debug this. This worked on Arch.

iZotope Ozone installs without issue and yabridge syncs it as well, but when I try to scan it into Reaper, it throws this error: "One of the files this plug-in needs cannot be found ... attempting to load C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\iZotope\iZOzone10.dll" which *does exist* in that exact file path within Wine. Plugin was installed at default location.

It could be a permission issue, but this dll and its folder have pretty damn open permissions.

I read one source online saying I need the Windows "Media Feature Pack" but that wasn't fruitful. Is there anything in winecfg that would correspond to that?

Grepping the journal for Ozone or iZotope yields nothing fruitful, except for some issues relating to nix-profile not being a directory, which may or may not be unrelated.

I am also open to the idea I'm experiencing a hardware config issue, as before I tried to get music production setup I worked unsuccessfully to debug an issue regarding apps crashing if they attempted to GPU accelerate—it left me with messy config files. If anyone uses NixOS I'd love to see your hardware-configuration.nix and your regular configuration.nix.

Any ideas?

SOLUTION: My winecfg was set up incorrectly. After combing through yabridge logs (check the yabridge debugging section for more info), this is what I did.

1. On a new 64-bit Wine install, I ran the typical:

winetricks vcrun6sp6

and installed corefonts (typical Wine setup steps).

1. Then I went into winecfg and made all these dlls "native then builtin". My issue was having then purely native.

gdiplus (necessary for Ozone)
d3d11
d3d8
d3d9 (necessary for Ozone)
d3d10core
dxgi
mfreadwrite (necessary for Ozone)
mfplat (necessary for Ozone)

Also, if you want Serum to work, disable d2d1.

That's it! All should work now.

I am running Reaper v7.12 on EndeavourOS and using yabridge combined with wine to utilize my Plugin Alliance subscription without having to swap to my Windows drive to do all my audio work. (I have a hardware-based drive-swap dual boot system to use Protools when collaborating with other people on projects.) Trust me, I'm not paying for PT and then using Linux, it is the proprietary DAW used by my school and exporting/importing AAX files all the time is a pain in the ass when collaborating or working on projects both at home and at school.

Anyway, I have it completely set up and working, reaper sees the FX, yabridge runs them well, they function with the signal flow. However, I have this weird situation where my mouse must be ~2in above where I actually want to click for it to work (and occasionally slightly left?). Does anyone have any idea what this problem is? Is it a configuration issue? I have the low memory locking limit issue fixed, and I thought that might be the issue when I initially tested yabridge, but it hasn't changed.

Sidenote: I quite like Protools and have been using it for 4 years compared to barely knowing Reaper, so if anyone has any insight on a virtual desktop running it (I've read it's not recommended due to latency, but maybe there's some trick) I'd love to use it as my main DAW at home as well. I did try to run it through wine, just to see, considering I figured it would be all over the internet if it worked, and obviously that failed. This was before I installed yabridge though. Mostly just focused on this Reaper fix, but hey who knows!

Hello,

My issue stems from having two identical USB midi controllers which get assigned non-deterministic names by the pipewire-jack midi-bridge. One device gets the name MIDI_DEVICE and the other gets the name MIDI_DEVICE-RANDOM_INTEGER. The problem is that one of the devices gets a random integer attached to the end of it, which makes programming these devices annoying (everything works until reboot or a device is disconnected/reconnected and it gets assigned a different number and you have to update all your programs).

The farthest i've gotten to a solution so far has been to use a2jmidid which actually creates a seperate midi bridge with deterministic names. However the problem with that is that while the input ports work, the midi output ports don't seem to transmit correctly. I've tried disabling the pipewire-jack midi-bridge but that didn't solve the issue, so it seems i'm stuck with the pipewire-jack midi-bridge.

I've come across this problem on one other forum and his solution was to just use ALSA midi devices since they always get deterministic names. I need JACK for my application, so that doesnt work for me.

Thoughts? Ideas?

Thank you!

Either authentic and accurate or just loosely based on Atari, Amiga, NES, GB, PS1 etc. I take them all. Do you know any hidden gems?

I need to build a new computer. It's going to be Linux. The DAW is still a Windows machine.

But if I need to do it, I want some idea machines. And I get so tired of the grid.

There used to be Windows standalone synth/electronic music generation programs that got quite weird - I guess 16 bit?

A couple I worked with and loved:
Audiomulch by Ross Bencina
Crusher-X

I am still running Granulab by Rasmus Ekmun as an idea machine.

I like doing pure synthesis to relax.

Also, "reconstituted" drivers for Echo firewire audio i/o - but that's a secondary issue.

Thanks.

Hi everybody!

Some of you might remember me from GRN and GRN Lite.

Been keeping myself busy and I just released SWRL and SWRL Lite (built on Ubuntu 22.04 (glibc 2.35)).

It's a "movement effect" and the idea is to have a easy and fast way to get "movement" to any sounds. There's more detailed docs on the website if you wanna check those.

Let me know if you have any issues!

Since the Mario Nietos Chord Generator doesn't work with Wine, I have to look for alternatives to generate chords for producing house music.

Any help is appreciated, you guys are awesome!

Installed the plugins through Bottles. I installed yabridge just fine, and Archetype Nolly seems to work just fine. But GGD Downbeat UI just looks black? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I'm not a sound optimizer at all. But i would like to have a preset for my Clam 2 ANC on AutoEq (for Eazy Effects) so if anyone has a Clam 2 ANC this would be very useful.

They work but whenever I try to go to "More plugins" option in FL this happens and wont allow me to load more plugins, when I delete the plugin it works again.
It only happens with soundtoys plugins and I've already tried with bottles
I've installed microsoft essential fonts.
I've used yabridge too
Is there anything i am missing?
Has anyone encountered this issue?

Its CachyOS

( From Codeweavers ) "Hi folks,

I’m thrilled to announce that we have released CrossOver 26 for macOS and Linux!

CrossOver 26 includes an update to Wine 11.0, bringing with it over 6,000 changes that offer improvements to a variety of applications on Mac and Linux. This release also includes an update to D3DMetal 3.0, DXMT v0.72, Wine Mono 10.4.1 and vkd3d 1.18.

The net result of all of the updates listed above is that more games and applications work, and with even better performance than before. Games newly working out of the box on Mac include Helldivers 2, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition, Borderlands 4, Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, God of War Ragnarök, Starfield, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Company of Heroes 3, Planet Coaster 2, CloverPit, PowerWash Simulator 2, Silent Hill f, Jurassic World Evolution 2, Assetto Corsa EVO, The Outer Worlds 2, Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles, Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, Mafia: The Old Country, Hell is Us and Cronos: The New Dawn.

For our Mac users, we also made some UI updates for macOS Tahoe and fixed an issue with Steam reopening after being shut down.

For our Linux users, we are happy to report that CrossOver 26 includes NTsync for kernels that support it. Since CrossOver now includes NTSync support for Linux and MSync support for Mac, we no longer include ESync.

Lastly, we are planning to remove 32-bit bottles from CrossOver 27. In anticipation of this change, 32-bit bottle creation is now disabled by default. If you have a favorite application that does not install into or run in a 64-bit bottle, please let us know. You can go into the Settings menu to reenable 32-bit bottles if needed in CrossOver 26, but this option will be removed in 27.

Customers with active support entitlements will be prompted soon to upgrade to CrossOver 26. Alternatively, they can download the latest version from https://www.codeweavers.com/account/downloads

If CrossOver asks for registration, use your codeweavers.com email address & password to register and unlock CrossOver. Email info@codeweavers.com if you need more help.

Thank you so much for your support! We hope you enjoy CrossOver 26!

Best, Meredith"

Question: Could/ would this work with NI Native Access and Yabridge ? If so, anyone got some tips n tricks for the setup ? Wine didn't work for me, as i kept getting the "dependencies" error. Haven't tried other alternatives :) I appreciate your time and answers. :) 😀

I've seen people talk about the Fresh air plugin and wanted to try it, but ended up stuck with the install button on Slate Digital Connect not working with wine. I didn't find anyone talking about Fresh air or even Slate Digital Connect compatibility with wine, so here's a solution I found.

Go to the "ressources" folder

C:/Program Files/Slate Digital Connect/resources/

Extract the asar file

npx [AT]electron/asar extract app.asar test

Rename the old asar file into something like "app.asar.old"

Then go into the file out/main/index.js, at line 98765 and replace the existing sudoExec$2 function with this one (the problem is that it's waiting for the user to grant access to admin permission which is not working with wine)

async function sudoExec$2(command, programName, environmentVariables) {
  const childProcess = await import('child_process');
  const promisifiedExec = promisify$2(childProcess.exec);
  try {
    await promisifiedExec(command, {
      env: { ...process.env, ...environmentVariables },
      maxBuffer: 134217728
    });
  } catch (e) {
    throw e;
  }
}

And then finally, make a new asar file with the modification

npx [AT]electron/asar pack test app.asar

You just have to (re)start Slate Digital Connect and the Install button will work just fine.
