Recently a friend of mine got a new #Windows PC for running #Cubase on it. He installed his previously used software, namely Cubase and #Voxengo audio plugins on the new box.

When he opened a Cubase project he had copied from his old PC, none of the plugins in that project were detected any more. Even though he had them installed. So he had to open the project on the old machine, write all plugin settings down to paper, re-insert the very same plugins on the new machine into the very same project and restore the settings from his notes.

I just copied an #Ardour project from #OSX to #UbuntuStudio #Linux. I use some Windows #Voxengo plugins on Linux via #LinVST, while I use native Voxengo binaries on OS X.

The Ardour project created on OS X plays on Linux out of the box, using all plugins (given they are installed).

Just one of these many details in how your #DAW does certain things.

Mobiles Mini-#Tonstudio.

Das #MacBook von 2017 ist bei weitem nicht überfordert mit der Aufgabe, fängt aber bereits bei 5 bis 10% Systemauslastung unglaublich an zu pusten, sodass man eigentlich in einen anderen Raum damit muss. #Apple, so gefeiert, ich kann's immer noch nicht nachvollziehen.

Einsatzgrund: #RME #TotalMix für das #Fireface400 ist einfach so viel besser als #ffadomixer unter #UbuntuStudio #Linux. Letzterer wäre auf meinem #Thinkpad verfügbar und würde auch mit diesem Interface funktionieren.

#Ardour bleibt Ardour, auch auf #OSX.

Need a bit of #linuxhelp I've just installed Ubuntu Studio 25.04 beta on an system. Steam is doing two strange things:
1: It only opens properly when launched from the terminal. When launched front menu it appears for a plot second ten crashes, and loops doing this.
2 (more important): Some games have no sound at all. Some won't even launch saying they can't run without a soundcard. I'm using a Behringer UMC1820, which does work outside of steam and on a few steam games.
Help! #ubuntustudio

I managed to revive #Hofa #ddpPlayer in #Wine.

There's #ddpTools on the command line that is easy to install on #UbuntuStudio #Linux, it is fairly easy to create a #DDP #CDimage for professional #CD manufacturing with it. For free, while other tools for doing this can be very expensive.

But there is only one native tool for Linux that allows you to check the result, which is DDP Tools itself. Doesn't make too much sense to me, because: of course the image by DDP Tools will pass the check of DDP Tools.

But what you want to avoid at any cost is something like having 1000 CDs that have some kind of error in them.

HOFA DDP Player V2 apparently is missing some font and looks rather rustic as a result.

Otherwise, it works well.

Like #Dexed for the #Yahama #DX7, #SQ8L claims to be #SysEx compatible with the corresponding hardware #synthesizer, the #Ensoniq #ESQ80 or #ESQ1. So this means you can load patches from your 80ties hardware synthesizer into the plugin and vice versa.

Sad story is that #UbuntuStudio 24.04 has lost Dexed for some reason, it comes with #Hexter instead which – on my system – completely fails to show the GUI, so it's even worse than SQ-8L. (I'd love to get Dexed back, even though it looked very confusing, I loved the sound.)

These two are related, because the famous DX7 and the ESQ1/80 were new around the same time, both being very digital (the ESQ1 having analog filters, though). The ESQ1 never made it to the same fame as the DX7 did but both sound like the 80ties.

Jump for joy!

#SQ8L, an #VST #plugin emulator of the #Ensoniq #ESQ80 #Synthesizer running on #UbuntuStudio #Linux 24.04 via #LinVST in #Carla plugin host. Needs #Wine.

All I had to do is wait. The plugin locks up Carla (and probably even Jack) for about half a minute.

So most likely it is trying to do something that ends in a time-out. When opening the GUI a second time, it pops up instantly.

Any idea on how to find out what this old #VSTi from 2008 is waiting for?

Btw., nerds:

$> file SQ8L.dll
SQ8L.dll: PE32 executable (DLL) (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows, 7 sections

Feels a bit like Christmas.

The ESQ-80 basically was an extended/upgraded version of the #ESQ1, with the most obvious feature being a diskette drive in addition to the memory cartridge slot. But also, Ensoniq had changed the dumb old home-organ-style keyboard by one with responsive action and polyphonic aftertouch.

I wish I could get this to run… (Screenshot stolen).

#SQ8L is a #plugin emulation of the #Ensoniq #SQ80 #Synthesizer.

Actually it does run a bit, I can play it via MIDI in #Carla, but this very old Windows #VST just crashes as soon as I want to open the GUI. I'm using #LinVST on #UbuntuStudio #Linux 24.04 and whenever a Windows plugin has trouble, it is due to the GUI needing #Wine.

Other elderly 32bit #VSTi plugins do work in my system.

This piece of software has not been updated since June 2008 and you can download it from here: buchty.net/ensoniq/

So now I'll keep on waiting for the spare parts for my #ESQ1 to arrive from China.

It's astonishing that this Ensoniq synth series isn't that popular today, because the sounds are quite unique. Perhaps it is due to the rather ugly user interface.

Or, more likely, it is because people don't want unique synths, they want that Behringer Moog copy and pretend it's somewhen in the 70ties.

Getting ready to record…

I had created this nice little #RME #Fireface ”handbag” for recording an unplugged live album, solo piano in a church.

Turns out I haven't used it ever since in any real production. #Recording is such a dead horse these days. But soon one of the very occasional recording jobs will happen.

Now I have to check into my old #MacBook 2017, which is the computer counterpart to this. I'm not sure if this would even work with recent versions of OSX. It for sure does work with current versions of #UbuntuStudio #Linux. But the #ffadomixer replacement of RME's #TotalMix is just a sad story compared to the original.

So let's see if #Harrison #Mixbus 10 Pro runs with this on the very old #OSX… for mixdown, I'll use #UbuntuStudio #Linux as usual.

Oh, the album, in church? Here it is: annaohlmann.bandcamp.com/album

Ich möchte einen Vorschlag machen. Wenn in den letzten Tagen etwas glasklar geworden ist, dass man sich auch Dienste aus den USA etc. nicht mehr verlassen kann. Dafür gibt es viele Gründe, ihr könnt sie euch denken, die kann ich ja ein anderes Mal aufzählen. Wenn ich also als Privatmensch digital souverän zu werden, was wäre eine Umgebung die dies weitestgehend umsetzt? Auf dem Gebiet […]

¡Hola Fedigente! Estoy buscando consejo acerca de #linux
Tengo intención de instalar el sistema en mi portátil para dedicarlo, principalmente, a diseño gráfico e ilustración digital y algo de vídeo.
Se trata de un I5 2.8 GH, 8 GB de RAM y 1 GB de gráfica dedicada. Estoy valorando distros como #ubuntustudio #fedoradesignsuite o un multipropósito como #linuxmint
¿Alguien con experiencia con estas distros? ¿Sugerís alguna otra distro y/o configuración?
¡Muchas gracias!
