I love the LinuxDSP plug-ins.  They are, in my opinion, the best
sounding plug-ins currently available for Linux.  Most of them do cost
a relatively small amount of money, and they are not open source,
which is a turn off for some people.  I think it's worth it.

You might also try Guitarix instead of Rakarrack.

Hi Ronan, Thanks for the fast reply!

I've tried the native apps you mention. "Calf plugins" have a nice
modulation tools that I'll be using, Scooperlooper will come in handy
indeed and as for Rakarrack, although it seems promising, lacks of a
good amp and overdrive/distortion emulator, and this functionality is
critical for the work I intent to do. The ideal thing would be using my
real amp and stomp boxes, but I live in a small place and I know I will
disturb the neighbours.  

I would love to be using pure libre/open source software and hope one
day Rakarrack becomes a great emulator, but in the mean time, Guitar Rig
is the only one that gets close (and works in linux)to the tone of my
real set-up. If anybody else know of any other open source emulator I
can try please let me know.

Anyway, I apologize for not providing further details. Here they are:

0. Kernel:  2.6.35-23-generic
1. Jack starts and run without interruptions (I've being testing it for
some days)
2. All native apps I've tried work smoothly (Ardour, Rakarrack, calf
plugin, Jack rack, Hydrogen, etc )

3. Never heard of Reaper. Just went to the website and installed the 32
bit version (tried 64 bit version but didn't work). In the "Audio
device" window I chose "ASIO" as my Audio device and then "Wine ASIO
Driver" in the next drop box. The drop boxes "Enable input" and "Output
range" are empty and when pressing the button "ASIO Configuration..."
nothing happens. 

When done, I got an error window: "Error initializing ASIO driver" :(

I have downgraded Wine to the default version (1.2) to narrow down the
possibilities and still using wineasio-beta_0.9.0~beta0_64bit.deb found
here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kxstudio/files/DEBs/. Reaper was
installed over Wine 1.2.

BTW, to installed wineasio, I extracted the DEB file and copy
"wineasio.dll" to /lib32/wine/. then I run "regsvr32 wineasio.dll"
sucessfully and finally installed Reaper. Did it this way because I read
in a forum that the DEB was compiled using Ubuntu lucid not maverik, so
this method was suggested.

I'll  try to get into the IRC channel.

Hi NG!

You're asking for help on a complicated steam machine and we don't know
if each piece works independently, let alone the assembly. To help you
we need more background on your setup:
  0. Which kernel are you using? (use "uname -r")
  1. Does JACK start successfully? (can it run without interruption?)
  2. Do native JACK apps work? (can you work on Ardour, Rakarrack, etc.)
  3. *Does REAPER work?* (it should, REAPER supports WINE admirably). To
me, having confirmation of this last point would be very meaningful
since it would mean we are sure you have a sane wineasio setup. We'll
see about GR afterwards.

Finally, have you considered using native apps? I don't know your use
case but as a guitarist you should at least have a look at {Rakarrack,
Sooperlooper, JACK Timemachine, Calf plugins (and many others)}. WINE
apps are never a good idea; even if you get GR running tomorrow, you
_will_ end up unhappy (to be polite) someday. Which killer feature are
you missing?

Tell us about your progress; if you need direct help, feel free to ask
#ubuntustudio on Freenode.

I'm surprised you felt the need to compile Ardour for LV2 support.  I
believe the Ardour provided in Ubuntu Studio already supports LV2.

Did you mean you complied Ardour for the VST support?

Hi Miranda

My go-to EQ for absolutely everything these days is EQ10Q. It's LV2 
though, not LADSPA. Ten bands of EQ, with high and low shelves, HP, LP, 
parametric and notch. It shows the shape of the adjustments as well.

For me, it was worth compiling Ardour myself with LV2 support just for 
this EQ. Then there's all the fantastic Calf and Invada LV2 plugins as 
well -- the icing on the cake.

The website for it is here:

http://eq10q.sourceforge.net/

Maybe this will be helpful.

Re: Parametric Equalizer

Hello!

Linuxdsp (www.linuxdsp.co.uk) has a good graphical EQ, and costs £10.

The Calf-git plugins also contains a good parametric eq with graphical
representation of which I'm very satisfied.
I would recommend getting it from some PPA (I think FalkXT has its) which a
recently compiled git-build. Otherwise you wont get the same results.

Both are LV2 plugins.

Hmm, I was searching for the same when I made my first steps with ardour
... I always use the ardour plugins "headless" (without a fancy GUI)
just the parameter sliders. But after getting used to it over time, I
must say that I don´t miss those fancy plugin GUIs any more. It helps me
more to listen to the changes that occur when I slide the parameters.
Anyway, I have seen screenshots of ardour on the web, showing plugins
with those fancy GUIs.

Unless I missed something, this is where Ardour (LADSPA really) falls short.
Jamin is the best thing that I've found, and it's not ideal - an external,
really only works for eq'ing the mix.

There's a few decent parametric EQs, but they aren't graphic by any means.

Parametric Equalizer

[Miranda Pennington]

Thanks to everyone who has responded to my first question here on the
mailing list :)

I am wondering if anyone has found a decent parametric equalizer plugin for
using with ardour or another program. Something that allows you to control
the Q for any adjustment and has a graphic representation showing the EQ
adjustment as a point on a curve.

Wineasio, Guitar Rig and Jack issue on Maverik, AMD 64

[NG]

Hey guys!

I've being using ubuntu for some years now and I've just switch to
Ubuntu Studio as I'm a guitarist building a home recording studio. After
trying a Guitar Rig demo I've considered buying it as it covers all my
needs. I would be using GR, Ardour, Hydrogen and Jack. The only thing is
stopping me is that I'm having an issue with it in Ubuntu Studio Maverik
64 bit.

I have got Guitar Rig 4 running successfully on Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit,
however, in my 64 bit machine (UStudio 10.10) when I select the ASIO
driver in GR, nothing happens (it used to crash with other versions of
wineasio) and Jack can't see it. 

I am using the same audio interface (Edirol UA-25) in both systems and
I've tried different configurations in Jack without luck. What's
different though, is that in Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit, wine gets installed in
"/usr/lib" while in UStudio 64 bit, it goes to "/usr/lib32". I wonder if
this has something to do with the issue.

GR 4 is suppose to work in 64 bit machines (windows vista and 7 only)
but as I never saw an option (neither on the website or during the
installation) to install the 64 bit version, I'm assuming it
auto-detects it.

I'm currently using wineasio 0.9 and wine 1.3 but I've tried wineasio
0.7.5, 0.8.1, and wine 1.2 before. I've got the wineasio debs from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kxstudio/files/DEBs/ and wine from the
official PPA.

I've read some threads on getting Guitar Rig working in linux but most
of them are outdated and don't address the issue I'm having.

I really need to get it running on the AMD64 machine as it was bought
for handling this task (music and video production). I've have
considered switching to Ubuntu Studio 32 bit if I don't get this sort it
out, but I don't want to loose computer power by doing it.

Any idea, suggestion or advice would be very much appreciated :)

Thanks!

Hello Dvbird,

could you provide the name of the wireless network card that you are using?
You can find this via the command: lspci   ( which will list all your devices, 
if you want you can try also: lspci  | grep Wireless )

Just on as a side note: WEP is considered insecure 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wired_Equivalent_Privacy).

Is there some secret to getting wireless on a laptop to just connect and stay 
connected?  I have a home wireless network with WEP.  I can always get it to 
connect but never automatically.  I’m using gui networking tools.  None seems 
to 
be any better than another.  They all eventually connect, but I usually have to 
remove the connection I’ve stored and create a new one.  Any ideas?
 
Thanks,
