The new Airwave Manager looks really neat. Otherwise I didn't really see a difference in that little time I tested it. There is still a GUI resizing problem, but other than that everything seem to work fine.

I have a question. If you know Studio Drummer from the Kontakt Library, you might know that you can drag MIDI clips from the GUI into the DAW. This doesn't work with Airwave. Is that a thing that is simply not possible or very hard to implement? If it is a matter of a couple minutes to implement it would be nice. Otherwise nevermind.

I can't tell right now, will need to investigate. There is a big chance that it is a WINE issue.

Thanks for doing the extra packaging work!

Cheers

I've fixed several small bugs in the airwave-manager. The links on the first page have been updated to version 1.0.1.

Hi!
Thank you for the new release!
I still have the problem with Steven Slate Drums 4 plugin. I cannot DnD from the plugin to midi track.
The workaround is looking at the midi pattern name and DnD from the file browser, it is a little tedious but works.
Still, making those plugin works until they make a native version (yeah, not tomorrow, but I keep on asking) is really something amazing. Some kind of sorcery stuff

Isn't this exactly what I asked just with a different plugin?

Hey phantom-one !

You might recall that I had major problems with airwave on my new desktop system. I figured out what was wrong, it might be good advice to pass on to other users.

Basically, if the user experiences any problems with SELinux while running airwave-linked plugins *disable SELinux*. It was on by default on the desktop box and disabled on the laptop (where airwave has been working perfectly), and that was the only difference between the systems. Some research into SELinux persuaded me that I could safely turn it off, but other users may have security concerns that require it. The fix is a simple change to /etc/selinux/config. On my system, from this:

Code: Select all

SELINUX=enforcing

to this:

Code: Select all

SELINUX=disabled

Reboot to activate. Run the getenforce command to verify the change:

Code: Select all

$ getenforce
Disabled

All problems solved, on Fedora 19 x86_64 with Planet CCRMA additions.

Best,

dp

Bzerk, I will look the Steven Slate Drums 4 plugin. Does it have a trial version?
StudioDave, thanks for the information it may be useful to someone.

The crashing of the Variety of Sound plugins is fixed in 1.0.2. New binary packages are available on the releases page.

You seem to be on a hunt for bugs. Is there a way for non-Arch users to update airwave other than cloning it and compiling it? I saw that you have .deb file, but Ubuntu tells me that your package doesn't meet the quality requirements, also how would I include the VST SDK?

psycha0s · Post by **psycha0s** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 6:41 pm

How do you trying to install the package? Usually

Code: Select all

dpkg -i <package_file>

is enough for this. I'm not providing the hash sums of package files, could this be a quality requirements violation?

The VST SDK needed only if you building Airwave by yourself. Here is a step by step instruction, but if you using the Ubuntu then I would recommend you to install my package with dpkg.

Small remark: the last command in the instruction should be executed from root:

Code: Select all

sudo make install

I will correct the instruction in next release.

I was fine compiling it myself but I wanted to try the package. Installing worked even though through the Ubuntu Service Center it threw the warning: "The package doesn't provide a valid Installed-Size control field. See Debian Policy 5.6.20".

Also when compiling it myself Variety of Sound plugins would crash after some time. With your binaries however they didn't.

Btw... the "airwave-manager.desktop" file shows the wrong versioning. 1.0 instead of 1.0.2

Thanks for the information, I will fix these issues.

The 64-bit to 32-bit bridging is implemented in a new version 1.1.0. Now you can use 32-bit plugins directly with a 64-bit host. When using the bit-bridge in the Bitwig Studio, there is no additional bridge anymore for the 32-bit plugins.
My tests are passed successfully, but this is very experimental release. As usual, there are binary packages for Ubuntu and Arch Linux on the releases page.
