It's been a year since many VSTs based on JUCE8 stopped working on Linux due to nonstandard handling of Wine inside JUCE. Now the patch was merged, so hopefully we will see plugins coming back soon!
I love how windows-linux discussion is populated by DAW/VST incompatibility. I'm still new to the industry, and therefore also open minded about daw/plugins.
I actually had good experience with setting up yabridge, it could have worked for me I think. But the elephant in the room is that many big commercial plugins use JUCE as a framework, and the recent release of JUCE (JUCE8) just broke compatibility with wine and seem to be sabotaging wine-based usage completely, and are not considering going back at the moment.
There are patches based on binary diffs to JUCE7, but it is just so much pain to simply run the commonest plugins in the field :/
So I'm now kind of stuck between using windows with commercial plugins or use linux with mainly smaller scale alternatives (although there are good ones: lsp, decent sampler, cardinal, surge)
Thanks! I wasn't aware of the JUCE newer version issue.. I'll have to (sometime) dig into that a bit deeper. Me I don't mind the idea of the smaller-scale alternatives, but having to occasionally work withothers that aren't linux based could be.. problematic.
RSS feed is on the roadmap. Planning to implement:
- Per-language RSS feeds (/en/news/feed.xml etc.)
- Manually curated (articles are already human-selected from sources)
Newsletter is an interesting idea too. Im thinking about a weekly curated roundup per segment. What would your preference be? Thank you for your feedback, well appreciated.
I'm using Liberation Mono, and it's missing :( i got PT Mono though.
