#AudioDamage #ad061descent, a really nice #GranularDelay recently received some bug fixes. These include that a crash that could occur with handling presets now doesn't happen any more.
I tried it on #Linux. Lovely. https://makertube.net/w/hMwaXVNb1mTMGMv28yDvwU

So, my favorite neat little #DrumSampler #Sitala lost #Linux support with version 2.0
Sad story.
See here: https://decomposer.de/sitala/#downloads
Old versions are available for Ubuntu 20.04, you have to click the small link under the downloads.
I wouldn't mind spending $20 on version 2.x, it's a great tool.
🧵 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.

EDIT: Solution see 🧵
#Sitral #Klangfilter #w295 by #KorneffAudio just got an update.
This #EQ #vst3 #Plugin (also for #Linux) wants to change your sound in a sweet way suitable for mastering and stuff, emulating vintage #Siemens EQ circuitry.
I have been using it in productions already. It was good, but very hungry on the CPU. #Korneff state that with this update, they made it more efficient regarding CPU usage.
The SITRAL Klangfilter W295 is an exact digital replica of one of the best sounding and best-made analog equalizers. Use it for vocals, guitars, brass, bass, drums, the master bus. It’s delicious. From Korneff Audio.
My blog on #mastering with #LinuxAudio #LinuxProAudio just got updated with a second part!
German version:
https://kurzelinks.de/LinuxBlog
English version:
https://kurzelinks.de/LinuxBlogEN
After tackling #distro and #DE choices and general theory in the first part, now I'm diving into #benchmark performance comparisons, #audio #plugin tests and developer exchanges, mastering practices with audio examples and much more.
Part 3 is already in the works (Merging Hardware Support, WinBoat, LLM assistance,...)
