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.
