Hello.
I know this is not an Ardour specific question, but its my main daw, on my linux mint.
I run plenty plugins, wine+yabridge and native linux ones.
I came across Fiedler Audio Dolby Atmos Essential plugin and hooked it up to Ardour, and also Reaper etc (for testing). Reaper and other daws freezes immediately on loading the plugin, Ardour seems more stable.
The general idea is that you put a plugin called Beam on your tracks and it should “beam” the tracks to the Composer plugin on your master bus (the plugins come together). Beam is where you do the 3d stuff.
But, the issues are; putting composer plugin to any other buses freezes Ardour, loading the composer plugin without any beam plugins on any tracks freezes Ardour, if I get both working and I move the knobs in the beam plugin, Ardour freezes but not if I enter the numbers instead. Most importantly, the composer plugin does no detect any tracks with the beam plugin. In short, those plugins don’t work on Ardour linux, or any daw on linux with wine+yabridge, or carla and I feel like there is some kind of connection issue, ie, the plugins seems to be aware of each other but can’t establish connection.
I’m not an engineer or expert or anything, I just would like to know if I’m just wasting time that all, unless anybody have some insights about this.
The issue is only on linux, fiedler audio dolby atmos composer essential with its beam plugin works in Ardour in Windows, for free.
Just in case; I’m probably gonna be working on kind of a big film, all music including scoring. I’m not a pro mixer but I want to present a proper mix to the studio. The film will release in atmos and I wanted to see if I can do something about it, all non atmos mixes will be in amebosonics and binural/stereo.
Thank you.
