Ardour 8.4 and CALF

[Chris_Tophe]

Voici la traduction de votre texte en anglais :

Hello, I am French and I am a new user of Ardour. I use Linux Mint. I downloaded version 8.4. I have a question: I can no longer display the graphical interfaces of CALF. How can I solve this problem?

[x42 (Robin Gareus)]

Please see Ardour 8.4 Calf plugins [ERROR]: failed to instantiate LV2 GUI

In short: calf is end of life, no longer supported, and will soon not packaged by GNU/Linux distributions anymore.

[peder (Peder Hedlund)]

Some good, and working, alternatives to CALF are
Robin’s x24 plugins : x42-plugins
Vladimir Sadovnikov’s LSP : https://lsp-plug.in/
Michael Willis’ DragonFly Reverbs : Dragonfly Reverb
Damien’s Zam : zam-plugins – ZamAudio.com

Don’t forget the ACE plugins shipped with Ardour.
