OSX plugin suite to share sessions with Linux

Hm, I might have been confused, you asked for linux builds but now talk about MacVST? Sorry if I didn’t backread far enough or misunderstood… I’m running Luftikus successfully as lv2 plugin under linux here, probably a self compiled version from Github (I haven’t updated my checkout in a long time, so I forgot details about the installation).

Oh, sorry if it wasn’t clear, the thread’s about plugins that you can use on shared sessions between Linux and OS X.

The LSP plugins look great but no OS X build, only FreeBSD. I wonder how difficult it would be to port to OS X since Darwin has (had?) lots of in common with FreeBSD. The x42-eq looks to be the only viable one but I don’t want to pay $70 without a usable demo…

I’ve tried it and unfortunately it’s not portable - Ardour doesn’t recognize that the DISTRHO LXVST port and the official MacVST build are the same plugin. I’ve emailed the developer if it would be possible to do official builds for LXVST for at least some of his plugins.

That’s a shame that they are not seen as the same plugin. Working cross-platform is always a little tricky. For the few classes I have taught, I have insisted on everyone using the same DAW and sticking to included plugins In real life if full collaboration is truly important, moving to the exact same platform would probably be a good idea. For now, would it work by having her freeze her audio tracks so that you can at least listen to everything with correct mixer levels without worrying about plugins?
