VST, VSTi and LV2 support would be fine, but more common seems to be a good working DSSI and LADSPA support for Linux, than a good working VST, VSTi support or any support for LV2, even if LV2 is native Linux. I'm using Qtractor and I guess it comes without LV2 support: "Qtractor 0.4.2.1376 Build target . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .: release JACK Audio Connection Kit support . . . . . . . .: yes ALSA MIDI Sequencer support . . . . . . . . . . .: yes General audio file support (libsndfile) . . . . .: yes Ogg Vorbis audio file support (libvorbis) . . . .: yes MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 file support (libmad) . . . .: yes Sample-rate conversion support (libsamplerate) . .: yes Pitch-shifting support (librubberband) . . . . . .: yes OSC service support (liblo) . . . . . . . . . . .: yes IEEE 32bit float optimizations . . . . . . . . . .: yes SSE optimization support (x86) . . . . . . . . . .: yes LADSPA Plug-in support . . . . . . . . . . . . . .: yes DSSI Plug-in support . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .: yes VST Plug-in support . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .: yes XInitThreads() support (DANGEROUS) . . . . . . . .: no Gradient eye-candy . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .: yes Debugger stack-trace (gdb) . . . . . . . . . . . .: no Install prefix . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .: /usr/local" _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
