I tried the new BlueCat Free Amp plugin with
wine/reaper, and wrapped as a vst by linvst,
then hosted in the linux reaper, in both cases, it's working Ok.
It includes three nice amps, with great tonal range
and dynamics, includes presets, and you can save your own
by left-clicking in the preset widget. Should be a very welcome guest
in your vst amp room
Cheers

folderol, a braintrust of zynaddsubfx,
mentioned at linuxmusicians.com
that the June 2018 Linux Audio Conference
videos are now available at
https://media.ccc.de/b/conferences/lac/lac18
Around 30 hours of videos, so prep your high-speed internet,
warm up the synapses, and pick some winners!

If an audio interface works on iWhatever (i.e. USB audio compliant), the chance it runs on linux is somewhere near 100%.

This here seems to confirm that:

Audio compliant audio interfaces?? Didn't even know that exists. The pointing to the Yamaha USB driver on the Steinberg site hints also that it won't run without a driver: https://www.steinberg.net/index.php?id= ... ur-rt2&L=0
IMO, without knowing it 100% sure, i'd say you'll always need a driver for a sound card/audio interface.

Apple wanted USB audio interfaces to work on iPads, so no mucking about with drivers but just working out-of-the-box.
Apparently Apple's BSD backend hardware control is similar enough to that of Linux, so stuff that works on Apples tends to work on Linux as well.
Just for once — thanks, Apple
[edit]
The proper term is "class compliant", meaning that there's no driver required for a device in a certain USB device class, be it audio, video, keyboard, whatev.

Luc from www.linuxmusicians.com mentions good news,
that linux Tracktion 7 daw is now free to use.
Also mac/win versions.

Competition is sweet!

Jack Winters recent post at the linux reaper forum,
with good news for musicians using wine:
"Exciting times ahead. Steam just announced their Proton project, which will allow the Linux client to run Windows games seamlessly using a special Wine version. This in itself probably isn't too exciting unless you are a gamer. But they also announced esync https://github.com/zfigura/wine/blob/esync/README.esync which I think we'll be very happy to see.
What it actually does is to remove calls to the wineserver when using many windows syncing primitives. This is sure to cut down on execution times and avoid many context switches, which will translate to lower overhead when hosting Windows vsts in Wine."

This is great news @Glokraw!! I don't know if you've noticed, but I've been hanging out over in the Cockos Reaper Linux forums as well lately. I never see you there though. Do you use a different handle?
C/R, dongles & other intrusive copy protection equals less-control & more-hassle for consumers. Company gone-can’t authorize. Limit to # of auths. Instability-ie PACE. Forced internet auths. THE HONEST ARE HASSLED, NOT THE PIRATES.

The official status and successful state of the linux Reaper version,
has gathered a crowd of users with all manner of experience,
it's quite an education to see how people
are using the daw, with it's scripting tools, plugins, and utilities.
An interesting side effect is the U-he linux-beta topic here that was
locked and moved to reddit a few months ago, has been piling up
the views count, since the linux reaper news went mainstream.
People are hitting the search engines, and hopefully finding some jewels.
Cheers

I'm happy to see that Linux finally has enough support from manufacturers to be a viable tool for audio production. Many people on this forum (subjective opinion based on what I've read) only concern themselves with how Linux compares vs. windows and mac in terms of VST support, DAW support, etc, but I don't think they understand that there is a Linux universe that has nothing to do with those operating systems that simply needs audio tools.glokraw wrote:The official status and successful state of the linux Reaper version, has gathered a crowd of users with all manner of experience, it's quite an education to see how people are using the daw, with it's scripting tools, plugins, and utilities.

It's also nice to see that people around the world have an option that can be used in places where paying software licenses fees is nearly impossible. You don't buy a 150$us/license when you're making 5$us/day.
