Re: Any recent DAW comparisons?
You can turn off Reapers get vst names when scanning (in the Preferences VST section I think) and then it will just list whatever is in the vst directories as filenames, which might help to work out what the problem is.

Re: Any recent DAW comparisons?
Sounds weird.
It still doesn't work with all linux vsts, but with quite a few ones. I only have to specify the path to the plugins and then scan it for them to be picked up. Maybe try clear cache/re-scan

Re: Any recent DAW comparisons?
Thanks, I was wrong. I've recorgnized a semicolon like a colon in VST path list, so added a VST path with colon separator. Fixed the path, now it scans OK.ubuntuuser wrote:You can turn off Reapers get vst names when scanning (in the Preferences VST section I think) and then it will just list whatever is in the vst directories as filenames, which might help to work out what the problem is.

I won't use REAPER as a regular DAW, I'm just testing capability of LSP Plugins with it.Jack Winter wrote:Great. Have fun!

Each DAW app has secondary prices, the cost in man-hours neededfalkTX wrote:Commercial DAWs are still DAWs, no matter how closed/open or the price of them.
You can add those as things to look at when comparing DAWs.
A free DAW obviously has a better price
to create music at one's desired quality, and the keeping of one's sanity
during the process.
I need very little in the features list, so smooth workflow in small sessions
is my priority. But some people need/desire a huge feature set, and are
are willing and able to surf the learning curves, and capable of producing
world-class music.
For them, the price of 'free' will most often be far too expensive.
Cheers

Re: Any recent DAW comparisons?
Wow! That's a pretty long list. As for the "verdict" on Qtractor: As for the comparison of LMMS with the rest: no (live) audio can be recorded with it. It's purely meant for Midi and working w/ the instruments that are built in. Also remember that the LMMS version in most Linux distro's do not have (Windows) VST support built in. Use the KXStudio repo for that.occulkot wrote:Maybe one be intrested, I saw realy intresting post on reddit comparing few linux DAWs:

i think he meant sound quality of output while mixing instruments/tracks together. Dunno, didnt use it myself.Linuxmusician01 wrote: [*] It's supposed to have "mediocre sound quality". I've no idea what he means by that. You can export in any sound format you like.

I thought the sound quality of DAW's summing subject was laid to rest a long time ago

The author's Ardour experience differs from mine: I've been using Ardour for professonal radio work since Version 4 - and crashs have been very rare.occulkot wrote: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxaudio/com ... m/drahajv/
In my experience the "Ardour experience" partly depends on the distribution: LibraZiK studio http://librazik.tuxfamily.org/base-site-LZK/english.php has been by far the best on my machines , Debian has worked well, AVLinux has been fine on new computers (problems with graphics on older ones); but I often had problems with UbuntuStudio so I barely use it. KXStudio was nice but most of my computers are old so they were too slow (and other problems) - I stopped using it after updates of KXStudio 12.04 had ended.

actualy, crashes were pathologically often in version 2.mk1967 wrote:The author's Ardour experience differs from mine: I've been using Ardour for professonal radio work since Version 4 - and crashs have been very rare.occulkot wrote: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxaudio/com ... m/drahajv/

That review really triggers me, there are quite a few mistakes and gaps in knowledge, it misrepresents all of the daws listed. Now it's probably going to be referenced every time someone asks about one on reddit.

heh, i guess it is as quoted above, notes from using different tools at different timestamps. But lets be honest, this is as far the bigest comparsion of linux DAWs in one place.sysrqer wrote:That review really triggers me, there are quite a few mistakes and gaps in knowledge, it misrepresents all of the daws listed.
