Re: fircomp Free compressor with perfect curves
It does indeed look interesting but I just tried the Linux version and it was instantly blacklisted in Mixbus and didn't show in Carla. The Win version comes as a .vst file rather than a .dll so LinVST didn't recognise it either.
Hopefully someone can get it working and share. I like its non-skeuomorphic interface for starters.

Re: fircomp Free compressor with perfect curves
Worth a bug report. It's a shame to have a Linux version which doesn't work under Linux. I would like to try it as it looks good.
What distro did you try it on @tavasti ? It says it's built on Ubuntu 18.04 which should be compatible with my Debian Buster. I got exactly the same error as you did.

Re: fircomp Free compressor with perfect curves
Works fine here. If something doesn't loads - do check the libraries with ldd ./plugin.so
AFAIK according JUCE license the code of this plugin must be opened. I'm doubt that authors have the commercial or indie JUCE license.

Re: fircomp Free compressor with perfect curves
vst3 plugins must be opened with path to the bundle, not the library's binary:tavasti wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 10:21 amDoesn't look like loading:sunrat wrote: ↑Tue Feb 16, 2021 9:18 am It does indeed look interesting but I just tried the Linux version and it was instantly blacklisted in Mixbus and didn't show in Carla.

JUCE Assertion failure in juce_AudioPluginInstance.cpp:203
Previous plugin state in '/home/roger/.vst/FirComp.carxs' is non-existent, will start from default state
Still have that "JUCE Assertion failure"

Re: fircomp Free compressor with perfect curves
Linux version is a vst3 "bundle" - directory with proper structure:
```
tree FirComp.vst3
FirComp.vst3
└── Contents
└── x86_64-linux
└── FirComp.so
```
and should be open as a bundle, not .so directly.

Re: fircomp Free compressor with perfect curves
How unintuitive. I haven't dealt with vst3 before.
Edit: working! Thanks Kott!

Re: fircomp Free compressor with perfect curves
I sorted out loading in Mixbus too, thanks to the helpful message and link to VST3 specifications in Preferences > Plugins > VST. It has to go in ~/.vst3 not ~/vst for user, or for global /usr/lib/vst3/ or /usr/local/lib/vst3/ . Source - https://steinbergmedia.github.io/vst3_d ... #pluginloc
