I love the new “favourites” functionality with the Plug-Ins manager, however it is crashing when I try to de-select a favorite within the Plug-Ins Manager. This is happening with LADSPA and VST plug-ins both. The good news is I seem to have a “stable” batch of VST plug-ins running with Wine 0.49, after trying many Wine versions. Also VSTHost running with WineASIO is giving me additional VST support as an insert. Running Ubuntu 7.10 with RT Kernel.
It is also acting weird on my part.
I have the latest svn build as of yesterday and when I add a plugin it adds the same plugin to other (seemingly random) tracks. Or it adds it multiple times to a track.
I don’t have VST support built in…
How’s Ubuntu 8.04 working for you? I can’t install it in my rig because it doesn’t like my mobo at all, Every conceivable cheatcode fails with the LiveCD. I’m curious how Ardour compiles on it? I’ve got so much stuff compiled on my current rig I’d be scared to make the leap anyway, is the Realtime Kernel stable?
We probably should report a bug with this Plug-In Manager, I just haven’t bothered yet because I’m pretty new to Ardour and don’t want to waste the devs time with something that may be my fault, It’s good to know it isn’t restricted to the VST enabled version only anyway.
I guess progress doesn’t always mean moving forward…I had to revert back to 2.4.1 official source release. No plug-in Manager “favourites” but no plug-in weirdness either. Works for me, VST support is still relatively stable with a small handpicked bunch of VST plug-ins in 2.4.1 running with Wine 0.49. In case anyone is interested here is a list of the VST Plug-ins this setup will run:
