Glad it helped Found the link while I was browsing the Ubuntu Forums, & thought it might be a good one to add here.

Is anyone using Freecycle on Ubuntu? Its a ReCycle "tribute"

[S-N-S]

i have found the version of linux im gonna use

its nearly as close to a full audio os with bundled music software and all that nice stuff

you already know it its

http://dynebolic.org/

tried running it from the live cd today,and it looks like its easy to set-up and install(drag n drop)so now i cant wait till i get a new harddisc so i can set it up and start installing reaper

btw where can i find a list(if that exsist)with what vst is working in under linux?

Just found a really cool podcast...

Well worth listening to. It's Wayne's World for Linux

You will need wine, wine-devel, and wineasio to use vsts
in Dyne. Or fst with lash and qjackctl, and a Jackd 1.02xxx, not 1.03xxx, or dssi and dssi-vsthost, same jack versions as above. If those combos are not in Dyne, and you can't get those installed into Dyne, there is info on
remastering your own custom CD, to include such things. I would recommend JAD, with Dyne installed in JAD /
...best of both worlds. The JAD team is behind the successful wineasio system, and Suse,the JAD foundation, allows you to choose apps during install. I always go in with Synaptic, Yast, or Smart package managers,and clean out the bloatware of a fresh install.
Most well programmed synths work. Most I install in /home/user and if they don't work there, then try /home/user/.wine/drive_c/Program_Files/Steinberg/VstPlugins. With the big commercial ones like Zebra and Wusik and Sampletank, it's
best to let the installer do it's thing, and then link the synth and sounds to /home/user if desired.

During installs, the normal user will type:

/wine /home/user/setup.exe, or substitute
msiexec /i setup.msi
for msi installers. If the installer has spaces in it's name, fill each one with a star * and also when using commands on such files:
cp Dimension*Pro /home/user/vst /opt

you will need to google for
gdiplus.dll mfc42.dll, msi.dll, msvcirt.dll, msvcp60.dll,
msvcp71, msvcp80.dll, and mscvrt.dll if they are not in your Wine system32 folder.

As normal user, run
wineprefixcreate,
regsvr32 wineasio.dll
winecfg
and choose alsa, not jackd for midi synths in the config panel that pops up with winecfg.

Please set your package managers to save downloaded packages, as wine,and other important apps can change and become useless for your specific needs, and having a variety of known working older versions to fall back on can make life much happier.

Hint: the Tim Conrardy banks for Oatmeal, Triangle, and Synth1, and his patches in Texture 1.2, are a great place to find programming examples, and inspiring sounds.
And the CM magazine has synths and FX, about a dozen always on each DVD that are 'universally' known as keepers, and others that vary with your personal likes...
Have a great weekend!

thanx
i have chosen not to use dynebolic,but to use linuxmint 4,0 instead,as dynebolic gave me all kind of different errors

so i will use linuxmint 4,0

hey... I've been considering checking out linux on my computer, but the only thing holding me back is MIDI...
I use USB midi interfaces (Edirol and M-audio), but also could hook my UF5 up without an interface... How difficult is it to get Midi working? (for a total linux n00b)

The JAD audio linux distro, based on Open Suse 10.2 has everything needed to use vsti and midi with EnergyXT2, Reaper, Cantabile, and others.. This would save you some time and un-needed questions, it is around 1.2 gigabyte DvD install image, the Suse installer has no weird surprises on most hardware.
Just configure midi and audio as normal for your host, choosing wineasio
as your asio driver, and keeping track of where your vst items are installed/copied to. I can use SampleTank, WusikStation, Zebra/ZebraCM, Guitar Rig3, Amplitube2 Live,
and almost every other vst I have tried.
Have fun!

This was a major PITA to setup... still experimental, but it's getting better It's installed on a bootable usb drive, so I can use it on my desktop or my laptop, or any computer that boots it.



I can actually get a lower latency on linux (1.33 ms, with playback capabilities enabled only), but that doesn't mean a thing, because the cpu load is much higher.
