Toneboosters Linux Native plugins (VST3) are almost here

Fresh news: Toneboosters plugins in Native Linux VST3 (Public Beta).

Quite good news for me...

I love many of these plugins, but I'm seriously trying Linux and put them in a corner due to their issues with Wine and Yabridge.

Now, that's a whole different story

This is awesome. I hope more vendors follow.

Oooooooooooh, this is really great news. Thank you.

[audiojunkie]

Yes! Fantastic news!!

Great news, indeed. Also, their copy protection doesn't rely on communicating with online services.

Tested them on Fedora KDE 42. Just had to move the vst3 plugin bundles to my vst3 dir and everything worked without a problem in Reaper.

Are you sure? I always had the impression that the plugin was communicating with some online service on activation.

I asked toneboosters support and this is their response:

Activation should work with and without internet connection.

That's pretty great!

Wondering if there's not too much overlap between MBC and equalizer pro... Does it make sense to get both?

I have Equalizer Pro and it seems to be the priority product, updates and improvements coming all the time. I don't really use the dynamic aspect, and for general multiband compression I'd want the crossovers to be tidy as in MBC rather than use a dynamic EQ.
The thing which stops me from buying MBC is a lack of stereo linkage control... plus I think the metering could be a bit clearer for ascertaining average gain reduction. I hope it'll get these improvements in the near future.

First little stopper... Glibc 2.39+ needed, Debian 12 stable has 2.36 and cannot easily update to 2.39.

Debian 13 Trixie is being released today and has 2.41, but for who want to stay on Debian 12 for a while it's a no go...

Owning both for good reasons.
Both are great and worth their place in my toolbox.
Hint: Saturation.

In the meanwhile I tried the Equalizer Pro standalone in Ubuntu Studio LTS 24.04 and they load

Oh! And did you look at the prices? Very reasonable! I don’t think I saw much that cost over 29 Euros.
