Not much new here, just making sure all of the latest updates work. Might spend some time integrating FreeType though, to get things progressing more (for fun).

If any GDK/GTK/QT/whatever hackers want to make some money, let us know, we'd be happy to put some cash bounties out for big libSwell functionality improvements...

In all seriousness, Justin, since I have now allocated an Acer 1.73 Celeron-M 3683WxMi Laptop with 1gb of ram and an 80gb hard drive exclusively for Linux with reference to a future native version of Reaper, GET THE LEAD OUT!

Just updated the git repository, includes basic FreeType text rendering, woohoo.

At the moment it searches the fonts installed by ttf-mscorefonts-installer, but some better search logic is probably in order.

If I was anything more than just a web developer, I'd have a bash myself. Failing that, I'll gladly pad those cash bounties a little if it would encourage someone else to attempt it... (If there were a way to donate).

I'd kill for a proper, useable native version of reaper!

WOW, many many thanks !!!!!!

I will try this as soon as I can.

BTW that offer could probably be posted somewhere else for a bigger and better(?) audience, say UbuntuStudio forums or something like?

Default Go for qt

I strongly recommend you checking out qt, because qt, appart from being multiplatform, is almost ready for android/ios development, so it might save you a lot of time if you plan move to mobile devices sometime in the future.

From what i gather there is a bounty for the work needed to write that backend things needed to run Reaper on Linux. Maybe Cockos should advertise this position and if money is a problem Kickstart it.

If there is someone I can talk to about the REAPER Linux work, definitely let me know. I still have some work with HIB left, but once that's done I'd love to get REAPER on Linux. If they need additional info/references, I'd be glad to provide that as well.

Quickest way to find me is e-mail: flibitijibibo @at@ flibitijibibo .dot. com

Default reaper on linux

Is reaper on Linux happening?
If it were happen, it would create huge new momentum for Reaper and I predict it would then become THE audio platform for the entire Linux world.
All of the current alternatives out there at the moment don't handle a candle to Reaper in the least. If you guys pull this off (the sooner the better) it would be a bold, brilliant and great strategy for Reaper and cockos in general.
....just My 2 cents. (btw. I am really hoping this happens.)

Well, I agree that a native Linux version would be fantastic. In the meantime I use Reaper through wine (wineasio) and it is actually OK (when font problems are sorted out). Obviusly latency is higher and I'am still a bit worried about trusting wine if something is actually critical (instead I track in Ardour).

Default Would be lovely

Anything more to move away from Windows and no, OS-X is not an option for the same reasons.

Native Linux version of Reaper with WINE being able to utilise my x64 Windows VST's.

One can dream can't they??

BTW for general computing and to TV Entertainment I am enjoying Xubuntu. Seems to fit the bill well.

It's really nice to see people being so interested in native Linux Reaper build. Count me in!

Since I've started using Debian Linux with RT kernel and Gnome 3 DE on a regular basis for everything [and after checking out a dozen of different distros] and started using Windows XP exclusively just for audio, not even for writing texts in Notepad any more LOL, I've become pretty much convinced that Linux is the way of the future. We've got a few really good apps on Linux like Ardour and Mixbuss, EnergyXT and now Bitwig, but I think nothing can beat Reaper and I think Reaper is so Linux-like DAW anyway that there simply should be native Reaper for Linux. If that happens, it would be a good idea to go with QT because QT is the way of the future on Linux. LXDE DE is currently being developed for QT instead of GTK and many other apps are going QT for instance. It also seems that Linux is going through some kind of a consolidation process lately... it's just getting better and better!

If that doesn't happen I'm absolutely determined to run XP only to be able to run Reaper for the next 36 years. Microsoft will be dead until then but Linux and all other Unix OSes will be with us forever, just as it should be. Unix and Open Source cannot die because it doesn't depend on the shareholders, just people who love coding and freedom and there are more and more people like that.

I know quite a few people who converted to Linux lately and I helped them with that. Not one of them is sorry and the transition was really smooth because there's really not much difference from the user's perspective. You just have to find the right apps and many of the Windows apps are already there in Linux or there are surely alternative apps that can do the job just as well.

Cheers!

I would like a Linux version of Reaper. That would make me definitely switch to Linux.
I don't trust Windows or ISX backdoors and partnership with the NSA. I distrust Windows 8's new DMR.

You don't need Pulseaudio, only ALSA for some programs and Jack on top. Pulseaudio is actually the crappiest of all, but it might be desirable for when you don't use Jack. Otherwise it can cause problems AFAIK. One has to choose either Pulseaudio or Jack.

I think Jack is great, but you do have to tinker with it for a bit. You can't just install it and use it to get it to perform great. Well, even with ASIO on Windows you often have to make adjustments, too.

Default re:Linux

Yeah I just started playing around with Linux a couple of months ago, mostly running off a thumb drive, after trying out about 10 distros I now have Ubuntu Studio set up as a dual boot with W8.1 Pro on my desk top and I'm finding myself booting into Ubuntu more and more often and W8.1 less and less often, Yes with a better solution for audio audio on Linux and a a specialized version of wine optimised for VST plugins(like Muse research has done, showing that it is very doable) Linux being Rock Solid Stable and very resource efficient, a Native version of Reaper in Linux would make the Ultimate Studio environment IMHO. Yeah I'm trying to figure out how to set up Jack.

IMO, if on ubuntu do yourself a favour and try out the kxstudio http://kxstudio.sourceforge.net repos.

Oh yeah, KX Studio or this baby if you're interested in doing audio in Linux : http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html

I'm definitely going to try this one, one of these days, but for now I feel really comfortable with Debian Gnome and Debian Xfce on my lappy. I'm still not using Linux for audio which is a shame, I think.

I would be in as well for a Linux version.
Yet the current version with wine works like a charm, and let us use natively win32 vst (when they works...).

If you're interested I wrote a VST bridge which lets you use win32/64 VST on Linux.

https://github.com/abique/vst-bridge

Enjoy! :-)

You can also use reaper64 with 32/64bit vst in wine for quite a long time.

Just wish a few minor bugs would be fixed for running in wine.

I'll be damned if I don't try Reaper with Wine finally. It just feels so awkward having to reboot into XP to make music. Thanks guys! I'll give this VST bridge a go, too! Thank you Abique!!

One question for you experienced Linux guys: do you use PREEMPT_RT patched kernel?

Since KXStudio is based on the Ubuntu distribution this should work for it:

To install Google Chrome, open the console and run the following:

sudo apt-get install libxss1
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/g...rent_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome*.deb

For 32-bit systems user can use this code:

sudo apt-get install libxss1
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/g...rrent_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome*.deb

This installs a needed library for Google Chrome, then downloads the latest version of Chrome to a temporary directory and installs it. Run google-chrome to start the browser.

During the installation a PPA is added to your system so that Google Chrome receives the latest updates whenever you check for system updates.

I would actually prefer to do it this way, though:

Add google repository to your sources, that is, edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file as an administrator and add the following text:

deb http://dl.google.com/linux/deb/ stable non-free main

Then open the terminal and add the repository key:

sudo wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -

Then update your sources:

sudo apt-get update

And install the Google Chrome [stable] package:

sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable

Why Mint 14? It is an old distribution. Try Mint 17 or even better Mint Debian Edition with Xfce DE if you like Mint.

or Ubuntu Studio. Ubuntu Studio installation is rather smooth. Xfce DE recommended.
