With Ubuntu Studio, I’ve breathed new life into an old PC and reignited my passion for music 😃🤟🏻

After 14 years I installed Ubuntu on a PC again. Chose because I want to play music and use real-time guitar effects.
So far: kernel panics, broken updates, and hours wasted configuring my M-Audio sound card.
I was almost starting to regret it... 🫩

🧵 So, #WindowsVST via #LinVST on #UbuntuStudio #Linux with #Nvidia graphics blacking out… what to do?

Well, eventually the obvious to the Linux nerd: Use a recent version of #Yabridge instead of the oudated LinVST wrapper.

I didn't make the move earlier because I didn't have to. Now I did.

Know what's really good with #Ardour and #Mixbus? They still find my Windows #VST plugins even after the switch. I rescan my plugins, and all my projects still work, because these DAWs somehow reference the plugins in a clever way. I have observed this earlier, even when copying projects between operating systems, the plugins still are correctly there in my projects in Ardour. (Of course, one must have the plugins installed on each computer/OS.)

Most Windows plugins I run are 32bit still. Old and good stuff. Not a problem with Yabridge / #Wine on Linux.

So, this took me about an hour to fix, but now things should be settled again for a while and for more #LinuxProAudio #Recording.

So, testing plugins on occasion, I found out that my #Linux #UbuntuStudio 24.04 does not run #WindowsVST any more.

It just doesn't work no more. I mean, the VSTs do run, but the GUIs are all not useable.

This might be due to a switch to #Nvidia graphics, which I had hoped to solve a problem with #Lightworks, which it didn't.

So basically, I can't do audio production any more, because I need #Voxengo #Elephant and #Fabfilter.

There is no mouse pointer in Windows #VST gui windows. Some windows are just plain black. Of plugins I have been using literally for over a decade.

Other #Wine applications do run with GUI. I'm using #LinVST, which used to work well for years. (And still on #X11, no #Wayland)

I'm screwed. Either I will be able to solve this somehow, or I can't accept production jobs.

This wouldn't have happened on macOS, I must say… as a person doing recording on Linux for 20 years now, including a couple of full-blown album releases.

At least I found the time for a little #Rocket science today, before I now have to prepare for tonight's money making monkey business. 🤪

I used a #sequencer in #vcvRack to control this #WaldorfRocket. The tiny #MIDI keyboard in the back plays #DecentSampler in #Carla on #UbuntuStudio #Linux.

The #piano is a #Schiedmayer from the 1940ties which I promised myself to play much more, it's such an incredibly nice instrument. (I sold my digital piano, and didn't continue using PianoTeq… forget about it.)

Preparing for a little #EventTech job to come… so I simply need two colorful lights, and I have to bring my laptop anyways. Sounds like #DMX / #ArtNet via wifi to me, and since this is #UbuntuStudio #Linux, there's not many options, #qlcPlus is one of them.

Well, QLC+ (version 4.x here), it's free, even open source, but still… I never got really used to it. It is quite different from most lighting consoles.

There's no way to select multiple fixtures in the virtual console, and the faders for RGB fixtures only work until 50%, above they fade into plain white.

But still, it will do the job and I won't have to bring my #lscMantraLite. Which would do the job very well, but there's virtually no FOH space available and it's just those two lights… (other lights in the venue are also there… but not DMX-controllable, haha.)

#Veranstaltungstechnik

I'm a little disappointed. I set up an ai amp sim + stereo cab sim w/ a few basics. I'm practically maxed out on the #MODdevices Dwarf. Might need a 2nd for effects.

I'm not necessarily opposed but, that makes a huge difference in travel gear & setup time. Signal chain would be limited somewhat as well. Best I could do is use one TRS i/o for distorted and the second for clean from amp box to FX box then into the interface.
🤔
Or reamp. Which doesn't help me at all if I wanted to use only this for shows.

It is possible to DIY a machine to use w/ MOD Desktop but 1) latency 2) footswitches 3) i/o 4) knobs

#ubuntuStudio [KDE] 2022.04lts

The standard simple image viewer is #gwenView.

The image found at @scriptkiddie's that you see in this Screenshot taken by #specTacle, the screen tackler that comes with the bundle, has been resized from 1536x1024px to 640x360px and became converted to .webp with #GIMP to get a glimpse on how this format might look on #mastodon, as over here on #friendica we, or at least some to most of us, live more like in a quiet desktop world.

As friendica allows since [2024.12] the use of .webp for the standard stream distribution, it's highly recommended to use that format, it saves a lot of transmission energy, as well as storage space and their for #carbonCredits on every #climateFront.

To see how it really looks like, the actual 99,6 KB image comes in a follow up to this post and will be published as a [spoiler][/spoiler]'ed and [center][/center]'ed image.
