git://repo.or.cz/libflashsupport-jack.git

I tried some vst plugins, but I doubt if they add something extra to the dssi/ladspa/lv2 plugins...

It's useful if you use energyXT or renoise (no dssi or lv2 support).
The ones from the "Juced" project are great.

That flash thing cause me problems once.
The Launchpad/Ubuntu guys complained about it not being 'free' (like the VST headers case), so I was forced to delete it.
A web-installer (just like I do for the VSTs) could be done though.
Are you sure we need that?
I've setup pulse and jack nicely now, they never complained anymore.

PS: I'll still try to package it.

Why use energyxt if you have qtractor?

that flash thing not free? mmh I doubt it. It would be handy for me, but maybe I should try the pulse way...

I may be wrong, but I don't think QTractor can export Synths MIDI (I mean "render") to a wav file.
I don't like energyXT much - no Jack Transport support and no LADSPA...

The flash thing... the discussion was here:
https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/93921

If you want to try out the pulseaudio thing, just install "pulse-jack" and run 'pulse-jack' :D
The only problem I found was when Jack zombifies (and auto-restarts), running 'pulse-jack' afterwards fixes the pulseaudio sound.

git clone git://fuzzle.org/jm2cv.git

to use with non-daw and non-mixer. We also need that example.cfg somewhere on our system:

To use it go to your jm2cv dir, and look for example.cfg. It's a text
config file, and will give you an idea of how to build your own config
file.

Then simply start jm2cv with:

$ jm2cv /path/config.cfg

@studio32: all your requests are now uploaded (may take some time to compile, and fix errors if there any)

The "spiralmodular" was the most problematic. I had to do edit many files to make it compile.
jm2cv - the example file is in "/usr/share/doc/jm2cv/"

Enjoy

I did.
Jack works without "crashing" LMMS, but it takes a lot of CPU (really a lot!).

I'm the way of getting Jack Transport into LMMS (only play/pause is coded ATM), so it will have proper Jack support one day... (or one year...)

Mmh ok... you're working on LMMS?

what Windows VSTs do you have in your collection (would be better if they will be ported to Linux native VST)?

ps I can't find latest rosegarden...

I like LMMS (or at least what can become of it).
If LMMS had proper Jack support (including Transport), I would surely use it often.

I deleted all my Windows VSTs some time ago (too many, disorganized), so now I just have a few (Crystal, SuperWave, mda pack, 4Front pack, Triangle II, and those free from Reaper).
I don't think the devs will port them to Linux so soon

The latest Rosegarden is already in Lucid, no need for it in the PPA

I used FL Studio / WineASIO a lot before, but I'm trying to live without it.
To be honest, right now I'm not making any music or sound production at all (more interested in programing now).
But if I would start making real music, I would use:
1 - Rosegarden (for writing notes)
2 - Hydrogen (for beats)
3 - Ardour (just to play wav files synced to other sounds)
4 - Q/J-Sampler for Piano (a GIG I downloaded somewhere I don't remember anymore)
5 - QSynth (for Soundfonts)
6 - ZynAddSubFX (the best...)
7 - Calf Plugins (git version, for effects)
8 - Patchage (manage all this)
9 - Renoise (only maybe)

I've notice this. Mmh how do you get a qtractor project exported to a soundfile then? :/
