Windows VSTs?? if yeah, how? My version only sees the lxvsts.eric71 wrote:I've been having a lot of fun with this over the last week, and especially since the vst support has been added. It has been surprising to me how many of the vsts I use can get by without the normal gui. The only things I'm really missing are Carla and drumgizmo. Even MasterMix, which is a pretty complex plugin, lets me use all its presets and makes all of the controls available as sliders. My migration from REAPER to Tracktion half a year ago might turn out to be short lived. I wonder if this pace of development will continue now with all of the publicity they have gotten via Phoronix, LAS, etc.

Re: Linux REAPER works!
davephillips are you sure you're using the latest version? There was definitely a change in this area with the newest update.

Re: Linux REAPER works!
The About Reaper panel says it's v5.20rc3/64 compiled May 7 2016. I downloaded the packages from the dev folder at landoleet.org, I assumed that's the correct location. As I mentioned, I've used the precompiled libSwell and my own build, got the same results.sysrqer wrote:davephillips are you sure you're using the latest version?

Any & all suggestions welcome.

Re: Linux REAPER works!
@dave you have to install the microsoft truetype fonts.
On my ubuntu 14.04 the package is called ttf-mscorefonts-installer

package msttcore-fonts-installer-2.6-1.noarch is already installed

Re: Linux REAPER works!
And did you run the installer? i.e. are the fonts installed in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts
Reaper is using the Arial.ttf from there.

Re: Linux REAPER works!
I don't have those fonts installed unless reaper is somehow getting them from my wine installation but that would be weird because the fonts are not in the font paths.

Re: Linux REAPER works!
Yes, the fonts are installed, they're needed by other applications on my system. However, they aren't installed at the path you specified, so I created a link between /usr/share/fonts/msttcore and a newly created /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts. Voila, problem solved, thank you very much.Drumfix wrote:And did you run the installer? i.e. are the fonts installed in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts

Re: Linux REAPER works!
Just installed from the AUR and it seems to run fine, even loads carla and recognizes my other plugins without a hitch.
Re: Linux REAPER works!
I know the AUR version is compiling libSwell from Git. I'm curious if there's been anything new (like gui's for linux vsts) since the precompiled version at landoleet from May 7th. Do you get a gui for Carla?tkoham wrote:Just installed from the AUR and it seems to run fine, even loads carla and recognizes my other plugins without a hitch.
edit: never mind - I cloned and compiled it. Same results. No vst guis. I'll keep eagerly awaiting the next update.
Re: Linux REAPER works!
So, some more experimenting with 5.20rc3. This afternoon I decided to install wine-rt, with all the 64 bit stuff from kxstudio. I then installed Airwave and tried get some windows vsts up and running. I'd actually rather use all native Linux vsts, but I was bored, and there seems to be a lot of interest over at the REAPER forums about whether there will be a bridge included or not.
I decided to try some free 64 bit plugins (I downloaded and installed Voxengo Boogex and Tube Amp). As well as some of the 32 bit plugins I had installed on my Windows 10 hard drive (just copied over to my wine directory). The Voxengo stuff scanned and loaded (without gui of course) in REAPER, but I could get no sound out of them. They loaded just fine with GUI in Ardour 4,7 and produced sound.
As far as 32 bit plugs, I got NuBiLE and Spinner (my favoite B3 simulations) working without any issues and tested their presets. I was also able to use FerricTDS - which is something I have missed in Linux.
At any rate - it seems that Airwave is already working with native Linux REAPER to some extent.

Re: Linux REAPER works!
And yet more REAPER for Linux news:
on the dev section of the landoleet.org site, today a "elastique2.so" has appeared. Putting this into the /REAPER/plugins/ folder where you have extracted the linux dev REAPER allows the ReaTune plugin to use the Elastique engine now - so now it has the same pitch correction abilities as the Windows version

Re: Linux REAPER works!
Well, if it's open source, then it's against the spirit of it not to port them. Also, having them on closed source systems means we get commercial downstream support in limited circumstances, so, it isn't all bad.funkmuscle wrote:glowrak guy wrote:An opportunity is there for injections of truth.danboid wrote: The Linux REAPER thread on the COCKOS forum is sadly plagued with endless Linux-bashing peppered and cries of how evil and insurmountably hard JACK and the terminal are
[DISCLAIMER: just my feelings towards others on other platforms]
and that's why I hate when I see Linux stuff ported to Windblows.. not saying we shouldn't but Mac and Winblows users are quick to love the ported Linux stuff but do we see that in return?
Why Reaper? Don't get me wrong, I have it on my Winblows machine as I need it to help a friend out who is just starting to dive into recording for his video based business. Reaper is amazing so so is Ardour, Qtractor, Rosegarden, etc.. Reaper for Linux, does it mean we can now the use of Win VSTs?
just inquiring and trying to see if I'm missing something..
