Perhaps it has though - the > technology is there on Linux and source code is probably available. Here's a list of VST plugins that are known to work in Ardour on x86 Linux under Wine/FST emulation. The main stumbling block at the moment is the redistribution licence for the VST header files that requires you to either download them separately from Steinberg and compile VST support yourself (difficult), or buy a distro like Fervent. There is little to no efficiency hit from the 'emulation' as far as I know. Running VST plugins is Linux is still pretty raw, though it's easier than running Jack apps in Windows. :) AbsynthVST.dll Ambience.dll AnechoicRoomSimulator.dll +armonicos2.dll BarsStripes.dll Battery Demo.dll Big Tick Hexaline.dll BLOCKFISH.dll Boss DS-1.dll Boss SD-1.dll Classic Delay.dll Classic EQ.dll Crystal.dll Cyanide2.dll DebaserDemo.dll DeeLay_sm.dll Delay Lama.dll deloizer095.dll DFX Transverb.dll Didjerimoog.dll dominion v1.2.dll dronebox.dll Drumatic_22.dll E-Kit_trigger.dll endorphin.dll E-Phonic XPressor.dll ersdrums.dll FLOORFISH.dll Frohmage.dll GoldenGate.dll H2O.dll JS Vibrato V1.0.dll jultram.dll Kontakt Demo.dll KTGranulator.dll Laidback-er.dll LoopaZoid.dll mabento.dll MadShifta.dll mda DX10.dll mda ePiano.dll mda Piano.dll MjMultibandCompressor.dll MjRotoDelay.dll NUSofting_HarpTime_fun_Demo.dll NUSofting_Kazootronica.dll Octaver12B.dll Paax.dll ParisEQ.dll relofter.dll resolator_1.03_demo.dll RetroDelay.dll SIR_086.dll SIR_1005.dll SIR.dll sloper.dll SoloString_v10.dll SpaceLab_Cmpr.dll SpaceLab_CmprMono.dll SpaceLab_CombEmu.dll SPITFISH.dll Stretch & Squash.dll SupaPhaser.dll Syntar.dll Tape Delay.dll TapeStop.dll THD.dll themodulator2.dll TLs_Maximizer.dll ToW_Compressor.dll Trancemitter.dll TubeLimit.dll VoxengoElephant.dll VoxengoElephantHQ.dll WNMiasma.dll > > FWIW, I'm somewhat interested in how things are shaping up like on > Linux, but I'm less thrilled with some troll doing a spamming cross-post > for the education. > > KO

So that's why 'DX' gets dropped from every plugin discussion ? geoff
From: J.C. Scott on 11 Jun 2005 18:36 Yes, I mean who doesn't want to jump through hoops and make it more complex to record than necessary? I ask you. Run an emulator to use apps that I can run in Windows itself with full compatibility? If that floats your boat, more power to you. Can you explain again why anyone would want to switch from Windows/Mac to Linux for recording? I fail to see any real benefit.

There is zero DirectX audio plugin support. Not many VST plugins work either. Most software uses the LADSPA plugin API or connects via Jack. > > geoff |
