LinVst VS wineasio

Waves VST are a quite a bit more involved, you will want to sort of follow the instructions here: https://github.com/osxmidi/LinVst/tree/master/Tested-VST-Plugins just ignore any linvst (if any) stuff and at the end do the sync process as described in yabridge. Make sure yabridge is searching the plugins in the right path, in my case this is what yabridge list shows:

-Use LinVST to get the plugins outside of Wine. Link

I just wanted to follow up for you or anybody who might end up here, I also managed to get the VST working outside of wine using LinVST.

The main problem with Linux audio is the lack of support for most Windows VST plugins, but u-he make all their plugins for Linux and they are some of the best. You can also use https://github.com/osxmidi/LinVst as an emulator.

https://github.com/osxmidi/LinVst/tree/master/Tested-VST-Plugins There are some instructions for it on linvst github, may work with yabridge too but I haven't tested it as I don't like creating unnecessary accounts everywhere and waiting for some discussion here if plugin is worth it :)

There are some projects which allow you to use vst2 from what i've heard in /r/opensource e.g https://github.com/osxmidi/LinVst

I’ve had success with linvst (https://github.com/osxmidi/LinVst) to use windows vst plugins in Linux in the past, try that

There's this project!

I am actually using Windows but this might work https://github.com/osxmidi/LinVst

Don't know if it will remedy your situation but I've had more success using WineASIO with FL Studio and my Focusrite on MX Linux. https://github.com/wineasio/wineasio

I haven't done it, and I don't know what you did in Arch, but it looks like there are some repos from https://github.com/wineasio/wineasio that you can add since Ubuntu is Debian based? Or you can build it, but it might be more of a pain.

As for FL-Studio, I never tried it myself, because native apps are much more preferred (apart from Ardour, there are commercial ones like Reaper, Bitwig, Waveform,...), but it seems to work through Wine as far as I google it. Keep in mind though, that making low latency audio going along with Windows software while completely possible, will require you to jump through some hoops. There is the wineasio project, and I didn't try it for years, but last time I used it around 2018, it worked.

You need to install it to your WINE prefix. This readme has detailed instructions: https://github.com/wineasio/wineasio/blob/master/README.md

You will also need wineasio, which willredirect audio from Asio to Jack. Follow this to add the revelevant depository, then run sudo apt-get update and finally sudo apt-get install wineasio .

Just build it from source.

Trouble is, all the install guides I can find are for Ubuntu (or Debian based systems), and I end up getting an error when trying to make the .dll from the Github, so can anyone guide me in installing it on Fedora?

The latency is fine under PipeWire, but you can set up wineasio if you would like even better latency.

MIDI will be fine but most audio interfaces use some form of ASIO drivers so it's probably more complicated than it needs to be. https://github.com/wineasio/wineasio
