Hi, everyone. I upgraded to 20.04 and updated Wine - that solved pretty much all of my issues. Unfortunately, the last round of updates that just came out seem to have wreaked havoc with audio playback and Ubuntu Studio Console has gone missing (and I could not reinstall it).
Details on that below, first the *good news*; - New MIDI controller maps to Reaper and can set up CC#'s with VSTi's. - Other controller issues fixed. - Running Windows 10. - ToneLIb GFX noise canceling works. - Sticking with 32-bit VSTi for now, working fine. As to the bigger question I was trying to pose (future-proofing), I took some action: - I did update the Audio Handbook Wiki with notes based on what I learned doing the 20.04 upgrade. I hope to keep working on that. Please read and edit as you see fit. - I did not approach any vendors or virtual instrument makers about releasing/maintaining LInux versions of their software. I know it's pie-in-the-sky, but ideally, Linux users should voice their preference to run software natively instead of relying on Wine. - Instead I asked a couple of YouTube channels who review music free/shareware to review Ubuntu Studio if they have not already done so. If I see other appropriate places, I'll keep making the same suggestion. Power in numbers. - This laptop still won't meet the specs for some of the latest and greatest plugins, but now that's purely a hardware issue. If I have maxed out the RAM, I'll just replace this laptop. In the meantime, it's not like there aren't oodles of virtual synths available. This should possibly be a separate thread, but now I've mentioned it... I don't know for certain that the last update caused my audio problem. Sound is choppy as in a square wave, regular interval. This is with the DAW, audio player, browser, anything that makes sound. I should add all Jack audio connections that had been set up were disconnected. Connecting Pulse to system out makes the choppy sound, otherwise it's mute. And there are suddenly a lot of subfolders exploded in the Audio/Effects menu, I think because U. Studio Controls vanished. There's been an alert pop-up "found a problem with you system. notify?" from the time I first upgraded last Friday, so maybe that's the real origin of this bug. Did not look at error log yet and don't know what diagnostics to run. For now I was just wondering if this is just me or a* known issue*? I'm on an older Lenovo ThinkPad. Thanks again for the suggestions, they really helped! Pete
