  A modern and transparent way to use Windows VST2, VST3 and CLAP plugins on Linux

> To my knowledge all VST plugins can be used on Linux (via Wine). Is that not the case?

Yes, although I would recommend Yabridge rather than linvst.

It should be already packaged in some Linux distros, but building and installation are straightforward. Basically it installs some libraries and an executable which once called will convert a Windows plugin in .dll form in a Linux+WINE loadable .so library.

  Linux ALSA driver for RME MADI FX

Can anyone recommend a decent PCI based pro sound card with Linux (Mint, Ubuntu, Debian) support?

I’m trying to de-Windows myself, but my pro-audio setup is the gap I can’t seem to fill.

I currently have an RME HDSPe MADI FX [1] which allows me to bring in 96 channels of 96khz audio via 3 MADI connections. They connect to my AD/DA convertors.

I found source for a driver [2], but couldn’t get the thing working, and it doesn’t seem particularly well supported.

Moving toward Dante or AES67 is an option (because my AD/DA convertors [3] support those formats) if there’s any software solution that can support those formats, but there’s minimal online info. So if anyone’s gone this route I’d love to know how you got everything working!

  AES67 Linux Daemon with configuration WebUI

> Aaand, this actually makes me want one of those cards myself!

heh, sorry!

Looks like I probably only searched for Dante virtual-soundcard before, when I searched for AES67 virtual soundcard I got [1] and [2] which may be the answer to my problems (if my machine can handle that many audio streams, but it should be able to with 64 cores haha!).

Looks like that's going to be my project tomorrow.
