I am using an app in WINE that keeps defaulting to 480/48000, which is way too much latency to be of any use for live play. I am using a USB audio device (Behringer XR18) and the app seems to be "fixed" to whatever the default system is (WINE). I can access ALSA directly in Reaper, but in ...

As tavasti said, that's the jack config - and since you're using Carla, Cadence is your friend...

So if I run Cadence should I uninstall anything that has overlapping duties?

thanks m8 - appreciate it All good advice there

An immediate issue with Carla is I cannot change the buffer rate from 1024 - way too much latency there!

thanks, but yes I know it works - I have the full version of SampleTank running under WINE and lots of IK EFX as well. That is not the point...what we are discussing is moving totally away from windows products viz - VST's. And not using a "wrapper" - WINE- to use live.

Thanks LinuxMuso01 - yeah I get what you are saying for sure! My move to Linux was after years of growing annoyance with MS and then when I read where W11 was heading I decided that was where we part company. I've been looking for some Linux alternatives for a while now - MOST particularly something...

thanks jeffg I'll check them out

EDIT: oh and a player to run in either of those apps for sf2/sfz? Assuming Backupband is not for me?

Konfyt looks interesting - need to find some SF2/SFZ files though and probably a player too...needs some more research. If youi can at least point me in the right direction for some quality stuff?? There's lots of links etc but without any knowledge I could be searching a while and accidentally usin...

hmmm, a couple of nice looking contenders there - I recall reading somewhere that Carla couldn't play audio files along with the setups, not could have setups recalled via MIDI, but I will look further into it. Never heard of Konfyt - would need to get my head around using sf2 files (which I haven't...

Thanks folks, all much appreciated. The issue is, as there are NO Linux alternatives for Gig Performer, Cantabile et al, I am sorta forced to use WINE to run my windows only Cantabile live gig hosting app. If there were an equivalent for Linux, I'd drop EVERYTHING windows and just use linux plugs - ...

Thanks.
Yes I have it all setup pretty much and so far so good in the studio. Just a bit worried about live.

Thinking of using my Linux system for live gig work, using LV2 plugs and windows plugs (via WINE). It's a decent spec'd pc I'd be using (an Intel NUC box) and a quality touch screen. Do other users think Linux (in my case Manajro Pahvo) is a solid and reliable enough system to be used safely in that...

Just to update this thread. I also now have it working it Reaper by using Qjackctl and linking the WIDI-Master to the Reaper port that shows there. I can even close off qjackctl after doing that and it still works as long as Reaper is open. The only downside is it needs to be done on a session basis...

[...]As for connections? Well the OS does show the device for pairing, and even shows the passcode for pairing and then reports it is connected and paired! Not sure what else it can do really. That's all I can go on...if the system says its paired I have to believe that yes? [...] You've got it pai...

a HUGE thanks to all on this thread who offered advice and tips. Very much appreciated!!
