First of all, congratulations: Ardour is simply phenomenal!
My problem:
I installed Carla by doing sudo apt install carla
When I open Ardour 6 and click “insert plugin” on my midi track, Carla doesn’t show up on the list. The same thing happens with Calf, but Carla is more important to me.
Carla is fully functional stand alone, no issues there.
If, for example, you are on Ubuntu, the LV2 and VST plugin versions of Carla are “recommends” and not part of the carla package so maybe double-check they are installed by typing sudo apt install carla-lv2 carla-vst. (I’m not on Ubuntu so can’t say whether the package manager automatically installs these “recommends”)
Ardour should detect the LV2 automatically but you might have to re-scan for the VST plugin.
Thank you very much.
I already had tried this but it says those recommends are already installed. I am on Pop!_OS 20.04 tuned with the latest kernel.
This is weird indeed, but I will post if I arrive to a solution.
That sounds right! I’ve not tried the flatpak version but was having some discussion about it on the IRC yesterday. Let me know if that fixes things for you
This is great news—enjoy jumping into Ardour + Carla! As per @paul’s comment, I can heartily recommend switching over to the Ardour binaries on this site if you are able
