Hi guys,
I experience freezes when opening either BioTek or Collective on Linux. I tried another plugin (Redux demo) and it has no issues.
Using 8.2.0 with BioTek 1.5.8 and Collective 1.0.8.
What can I do?
Thanks!
Alban

nothing. Ive supplied bug reports, reported same issues in the beta tests. nothing. W8 is bugged garbage, best to stick with T7 for another year until that figure out all the bugs that upgrading the juice framework introduced. I've given up on W8 and wish I had no paid to upgrade.

No. I've bought Waveform and I don't have any older version in my list of downloadable products.
However, the application is not the real problem here. It runs mostly just fine even with 3rd party plugins like Redux.
The problem is that Collective and BioTek don't work well with Waveform under Linux. Collective always forgets half of the samples after a few bars and the only way to get them back is to reload the song. Both plugins opened several times as tiny modal windows that can only be closed with xkill. At other times just opening the UI of BioTek will crash Waveform (turning of OpenGL in BioTek helped). Beta or regular version doesn't matter. The kind of issues change but the amount stays the same.
Both plugins run fine with Renoise even under heavy load. A few of the essential collections plugins work too but others will just crash Renoise when scanned.
That happens on a Dell Laptop that has official Linux support and runs with stock Kubuntu 16.4. There is still a lot to do on the Linux side.

Seems that you're right. I just tried Helm on linux with Waveform, no problem whatsoever.
Helm is great btw, I highly recommend it if you didn't try before. Despite it being open source and free, I did throw a dozen USD to the dev who definitely deserves it.

I've played around with some of the plugins from u-he and they all worked great in Waveform. I was using Zebra2 and Waveform for several hours to design some new patches and there was not a single hiccup apart from a small problem with Zebra's modal save dialog. And that's fine with me as I know how difficult it is to make this feature work correctly across all platforms and DAWs.
