RE: vocalounge.cafe/@bibbs/1160671…

This is hugely positive news for all who use Windows VST plugins on Linux through WINE!! This may be the biggest news in quite a while!!!

In other news, the yabridge Wayland Wine problems for using Wine versions higher than v9.21 are nearly fixed too!

Things are about to get usable again for Linux users with Windows plugins!!

bibb (@bibbs@vocalounge.cafe)

#juce has just added a patch that defaults to software rendering when plugins are running in #wine ending the direct2d black window issue. hopefully this fixes #synthv2 and #voisona when running under linux. https://forum.juce.

Good news.

I don't dare to use Wayland for a reason… still on LinVST here and there's some Windows VSTs I absolutely cannot work without.

@nielso I use Wayland with XWayland. I have had zero problems with native Linux plugins. Up until now, I have managed to avoid using WINE and bridging. However, I have 20 years of Windows plugins from my days when I used Windows, and I may want to use some of those, so I watch things pretty closely. 🙂

I have used someWindows plugins like Voxengo Elephant for about 20 years on Linux now…

… the situation with native Linux plugin has improved in ways I wouldn't have dreamed of. Still, there's folks telling me that I don't need a plugin like Elephant, and in the end it turns out they don't even know what True Peak limiting means. Elephant is quite old, but for me it just too good to not use it.

(Actually my version is a bit younger, there have been updates. But it is still 32bit I think.)

sounds great, except that they will all need to be rebuilt (because plugins are/should be statically linked - you can't fix this updating JUCE itself).
