As a Linux user who wants to get into music production but know little about it, what are the positive developments I can hope for as a result of this? My understanding is that VST modules are quite hairy on Linux today.
As an end-user, this will mean nothing to the vast majority of existing users. We still need the plugin provider to actually create linux-specific build artifacts. Until then, Yabridge + Windows versions of the plugins is the only real choice. These do work quite well today though
Ok - I tried Yabridge once with Ardour, but had a difficult time getting anything to work. I think it is because I used a Flatpak-build of Ardour. I think I’ll fork over the cash to get the pre-built binary (with upgrades) at some point soon to support their development, even though I could use the practice in building from source myself.
Good to know that it is not as hairy as I had the impression of.
Dont use flatpak, so cant help there, but hope you get everything working!
But do you use Ardour?
My setup is plugged into Reaper, but I dont see why it wouldn’t work with Ardour, or any other daw
Alright, thanks - I hope to give it ago again in the not too distant future!
The entire SDK is programmed in CMake! 😱
… okay, it’s git submodules

Isn’t VST pretty much a wild west anyway? I wonder how much is this really gonna help to standardize the tools/plugins
Does this mean VSTs will have better Linux compatibility or is that implementation-dependent?
I am a complete noob and don’t know how to use it on linux but it sounds awesome!
