Why no LINUX-Section?

[mtyas]

Same here, I've put my girlfriends PC on linux, and I'm starting to have fun trying out all the audioware available.

How very thoughtful and nice of you to do put your _girlfriends_ computer on linux She's gotta be all flames about it!

No she is loving it, it's so much easier when you don't know a thing (especialy the apt-get stuff in Debian)
But the probleme is that I keep on using it now

Anyway I wouldn't mind a nyquist or a ladspa section (at least to get a few more people intrested).

Is there a way to get some linux-audio-apps going on windows, or is there a way to run them from a live-cd and record the output on harddisk?

KNOPPIX can maybe run standalone binaries (as available for REZOUND),

I'd be very interested in using the timestretch-abilities of SND, but was always in fear of all those other things you have to install first to get SND going.

I would not recommend to spend the time and effort to make SND work with KNOPPIX, just get a SUSE 9.1-CD (in every second PC-Mag in Germ today) chop off about 3-4 Gigs from your harddrive for a LINUX-Partition and SND works out oft the box and dozens of cool Soundapps also (Zynadd, AMS etc)the risk is little and it should be done within 1-2 h.

Any hints for that, zettberlin (where are you located exactly, zett..., xberg?)

Weissensee - only ISDN here, the rest is quite OKayish

ps.:
@glurgle
indeed i missed that
So maybe Paul could add the birdbutton to the Zynadd-Page ?

1. The days of linux are counted
if the software-patents will
come to the final states -
and it seems so !

2. Windows has nearly 90 percent
of the market. THIS is the OS
companies and most of the
coder will concentrate on.

3. There are sooooo many good
Freebees outthere for WINDOWS !

4. In the meantime WINDOWS is
VERY stable.

5. In the meantime many of the commercial LINUX distributions
WITH support, documentation and
original cdroms cost as much
as an Windows - Update.



btw.:

Work some weeks in a computershop and you know that
there are A LOT people with
crashing MACS and LINUX
installation, configuration and
driver probs !

Alternatively, spend 5 minutes in front of either.

This has been in the works for a while but I've just added LADSPA support to the database, however the only compatible products currently listed are Audacity and Muse.

Remember we only support plug-ins and their hosts - NOT stand alone applications.

From the various sites that have LADSPA plug-ins available I see they rarely post a screen shot. I certainly don't intend to download them all the take screenshots so if you want to help get the LADSPA plug-in/host count up @ KVR please make your submissions here.

There are as many Linux sections as the number of songs made with Linux in the KVR Café....

@Ben
this is confirmed, unfortunately LADSPA_Plugins are only one step beyond Commandline-Progs - that is: usually they do not have their own Graphics, Sliders, switches and Stuff are borrowed from the Host (like Jackrack, Ardour, Audacity etc)
So they do not fit so well as spectacular eyecatchers
Again: a separate LINUX-Section would not be No1 on my wishlist, but i think it should be mentioned, if a App runs on it.
BTW: thanks JACK, *every* App that supports Jack can bee used as some kind of a Plugin

[Ben [KVR]]

Well, we don't do "sections", you can search for Linux and LADSPA on the DB search page like you can any other OS and plug-in format

I still need people to submit the LADSPA plug-ins if they want them in the DB. If a screenshot isn't required they can say so and I won't display an image but I still need the rest of the information.

Thanks for your hints, zettberlin! I'll have a go for that!

at least you don't have to travel that far to have a walk on the wildside...

Absolute nonsense.

2. Windows has nearly 90 percent

Doesnt matter if its 'most' or not. What matters is who it is and what they produce.

3. There are sooooo many good

So?

4. In the meantime WINDOWS is
VERY stable.

So?

5. In the meantime many of the commercial LINUX distributions
WITH support, documentation and
original cdroms cost as much
as an Windows - Update.

And most of them can be downloaded for free. Anc ome with hundreds of applications on disk.

Plus a new Windows license is actually 3 or more times the cost of an update.

So your point is?

So

So? The important statistic is not how many people you see, but the percentage of users as a whole who dont have such problems.

Given that most problems I see with PC's outside of my control are virus or malware related, rather than drivers, then I'd definitely say Linux and OS X have the advantage there, being far less open to compromise. An out-of-the-box XP system on Broadband is likely to be compromised before you can download the patches to secure it...

a few words...
to me linux sounds as the most interesting os for the future...is developing base is so huge and great..
it's a kind of cultural dream...
check out PlanetCCRMA or Agnula for audio/video stuff..

Ah well. After seeing a Linux server seg fault several times in a row at a simple PHP error, it'll take a while to convince me that Linux is anything other than a pile of crash happy wank.

Planet-CCRMA is RedHat/Fedora only.
Drat.
SuSE here (I should really repair LILO- want to run Cinelerra).
This means I would have to rebuild everything. Which means rebuilding makefiles.

SuSe here also, my experience is: manage to compile one major App and once you are through with alle the dependency/config issues, that come with that, your System is prepared to build dozens of Packages woth a simple 3-step.
I build ARDOUR and MUSE and afterwards nearly all Audioapps related to both GTK and QT build easily.

@cron:
everybody knows, how easy it is to find hundreds of reproducable software/skript-malcoding that will crash the System for each and every contemporary OS - plus: you talk about an error in a webserverapplication,being provoked by malcode do not set this "=" with the OS itself. AND: would you run a NUENDO-Session on a WinXP that runs a webserver (can it actually?) at the same time??
