A good way to look at Linux, IMHO, is that it's disposable. I know that sounds weird, perhaps at first, although think about it; this is one of it's greatest qualities. You can choose among dozens of distribution, install it freely, change it freely (if you've got the chops--always a work-in-progress for me, and very much worth it!), remove it freely. No big deal. Gak it up; save your home directory and start over. Totally disposable, repeatable, morphable, etc. Of course this is also the double-edge-sword. So be it though, I'll take it over applesoftoogle. It's not for everyone and that's okay. Although, the leaps and bounds I've seen within the last decade is pretty incredible. More will come over to this side, in time, guaranteed.

In any case, buying good, high quality, compatible (Class Compliance--a GIANT step forward, thanks to smartphones, even though I hate smartphones) pro-audio hardware will return in value and will survive many installations/computers/laptops, etc. for years. You just have to shop smart and get the good models--you can't really trust brands exactly, you have to find particular models which offer the goods.

Hell yeah I'll spend 2 grand (finance it actually) on an audio interface if it works with Linux (and whatever else). A good audio interface should last 10 years, at least in my experience.

is actually the dark zebra working on linux? on the webpage they just mention it working on windows and OSX....

It is working fine but you really need to ask for the Linux version and for me it took more than one email to support@uhe.com before I got a link to the package.

I was under the impression my self that there was no Linux version before I read in one of the threads that there really is one.

A well hidden secret unfortunately.

little update:

dark zebra works great on linux! only thingy in ardour/mixbus: i needed to manually add the audio connections in the mixerstrip, unlike the zebra2 it doesnt automatically connect correctly. but other than that all flawless till now...

Subarumannen · Post by **Subarumannen** » Thu Jul 20, 2017 5:37 pm

Try change the track from Strict I/O to Flexible I/O and insert ZebraHZ

That works for me. Apparently Ardour does not map I/O correctly otherwise.

I am unable to enter my zebra2 4458 serial on Kubuntu 17.04. Is there a file I can edit?

Subarumannen · Post by **Subarumannen** » Sun Jul 23, 2017 9:35 am

There is.

This was posted earlier in this long thread. For Repro-1 but the same applies to all U-he stuff AFAIK.

The license is stored as text in ~/.u-he/Repro-1/Support/com.u-he.Repro-1.user.txt for Repro-1.

No I don't think I do, but you seem to miss the reason why I resonate the way I do:

Beamboom wrote:But bottom line is: Other VSTs work as normal without upgrading them. Ergo, so should the U-He plugins.

If Gnome/Ubuntu screwed up, then don't you agree that it at the very least is most plausible that this would also affect other VSTs? But it don't as far as I can se, all other VSTs I got installed all work like before. There's something that makes the u-he plugins different from all other plugins on my machine. It's at least a plausible theory to see if it's using an api in the system in a way that none of the others do, or use a different api than the rest, one that are more prone to changes across versions (and thus less sustainable to use). For example.

But it's time for Alex to pop up and reply here now, I think.

Urs said that Alex will be needed
soon to address their new enhanced preset management,
which currently blocks their linux build process, so maybe
a fix for your issue will be integrated soon.

Have you tried windows 2.12 from wineHQ with
reaper in wine to host U-he? I have last weeks 2.11
and it's very solid. Wine-stable has integrated most
of the recent wine-staging progress that has aided vst users.
Have you tried the U-he plugins in the linux version of Reaper?

I've got windows reaper with windows Zebra,
and linux reaper with linux Zebra, running at the same time,
no problem, and I'm no 'power user'.

https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=193760

for linux reaper download link and topics.
Just expand the reaper archive somewhere useful,
place the REAPER folder where it's handy,
and it's installed.

Reaper is free for 60 days, and then either $60 or $300
depending on your music-related income,
on the honour system.

Have you tried with a supported nVidia videocard?
Have you tried with live sessions booted from various
distros on cd/dvd/usb?

An Arch-linux vst user had an issue with corrupted fonts,
and the Reaper dev suggested 'install ttf-freefont or ttf-dejavu',
which solved the problem. Maybe it would help your issue,
although U-he gui use vera.ttf, supplied in the install.
Cheers

No way I'm running Windows binaries on my Linux desktop, Glokraw. Dude, forget it. I have my principles.

I use Bitwig as a host, have no interest in Reaper. There's a Linux build of Reaper too btw, did you know that? It seemed to be working too, but was ugly as f*ck in my not so humble opinion. Bitwig looks fantastic and has everything I want in a daw

All the U-he plugins works perfectly in production and have been stable for a very long time. It's only - ONLY - the popup-menus in the interface that's no longer working. That's all.

But nice to hear that Alex is on his way back! Maybe he then also will turn the mouse wheel scroll the right way while he's at it

Please put your jalopy in reverse, and read the post above, before asking
if I know about Reaper

Themes work in the linux version,
in case you didn't know. I agree, the default is fut bugly.

If your priciples view U-he windows plugins as such evil beings,
surely the linux versions from which they emerged,
are severely tainted, perhaps even contagious? They might
try to sip your blood in the night

If wine is the devil, for making it possible for linux musicians
to use a bevvvy of great plugins and instruments, perhaps you
should gather your principles, and file for priestly status,
the tax advantages should cover Repro-5, a reaper license,
and even Bitwig 3.0

Cheers

Sorry, many Linux users have no interest in dealing with WINE and the many problems that come with it.

lunardigs · Post by **lunardigs** » Tue Jul 25, 2017 11:16 pm

WINE is amazing for what it accomplishes. It's amazingly ambitious too! ... 'Hi, I'm a Mac', remember that one? The WINE project exemplifies 'Hi, I don't care who you are'. In fact, WINE will even run on Mac--despite better fashion sensibility. Big applause to that!

That said, I've managed to avoid it entirely. I honestly can't believe that anyone would want to track all the activities and developments in the Windows software realm--to produce Linux counterparts. It's sounds nutso to me. Although, maybe it's much easier than I'd guess.

Nevertheless, all the abstraction that must take place, etc. ... Not for me. Besides, I have enough native tools (

-> U-he) which I should learn to use more thoroughly.
