Can't make appear ReaPack in Reaper nor with .dll or .dylib (both x64) files copied in /.REAPER/UserPlugins.
.dll are windows and .dylib are osx.

Have a look at: https://github.com/cfillion/reapack/releases but you have to scroll down a little to find: https://github.com/cfillion/reapack/...r_reapack64.so

Wow, things advanced quite a lot since the last time I checked how things are going in the Linux department. Great stuff, guys.

@ Jack Winter: Thanks a lot for taking the torch, revamping the Linux related threads and putting together the great wiki page. Really great job.

I've been testing the last Reaper at LoL this last weekend. Still some weird things but globally looking good and promising. Got some freezings trying to run demanding RT IRs and oversampled pluggos but maybe it's on my side (configs).

Praying for LV2 support.

Is there a setting so that Reaper opens maximized? I'm using the Native Linux version.

Hello!

Bug with toolbar switching actions (41105 and other relevant actions). when used, "show recent action list" confirms that the action has been taken into account but there is no effect at all. Am I the only one (so, personnal configuration issue) or is it an internal REAPER issue?

Thanx.

(up to date debian stretch 64, lxreaper 64 with GCC5 5.60pre10)

I can confirm this, just tried to use it yesterday and also seemed to have only black and white, wanted to test with wine before reporting something, as I can't remember exactly how it works. Simply no time at the moment..

@Jack Winter, autocolour works fine but, in the linux native version,
we have to edit the number of colour, no graphic palet to choose
the colour.

The Linux version keeps getting better and better! I'm excited the way things are going - it looks like soon Wine won't be necessary anymore.

One small window management issue I'm having is that, when I press Shift-? to bring up the Actions dialog, keyboard focus remains on the previous window. This breaks my usual workflow of hitting Shift-? and immediately typing a string to search for an action - instead the main window interprets my keystrokes as shortcuts. (!)

This is on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS using the Unity desktop environment.

I've been using the native Linux version for a couple of vocal recording sessions lately. Works pretty well overall. Some keyboard short-cuts don't work, and the FX GUIs don't always show up when clicking on the plugin slot, but other than that I could not detect any serious issues. The font problem is gone too.

However - as of now I would not be able to use the Linux version for any mixing jobs, as it lacks LV2 support. Without being able to use the Calf and EQ10Q plugins, only very basic mixing would be possible, as VST plugins (especially good ones) on Linux are virtually non-existing.

So - is LV2 support planned?

I can't speak for Cockos, but LV2 support is definitely planned. That said, I've heard many people say that Calf does look nice, but sound wise is mediocre. If you don't like reaeq, have a look at x42-eq which is pretty nice too, and does work with the lv2vst wrapper.

Keyboard shortcuts not working might have to do with your DE/WM, many times alt doesn't properly get forwarded to reaper, try to remap the meta key to the windows/apple key instead.

Thanks, Jack! Good to know that LV2 support can be expected sometime in the future.

As for the Calf plugins: Some are pretty ok, some not so much, but in general they do fill the gap (in combination with the EQ10Q stuff), as there is not really any alternative for anything that goes beyond compression and EQ (and is worth mentioning IMO).

I currently use Harrison Mixbus 32c on Linux, and while its extremely limited routing capabilites drive me nuts, I do love the built in channel strip compressor, the EQ, and the tape saturation. Would be nice to have something like this in REAPER.

Other than that I use the OverTone DSP plugins and the Ardour delay (and the Ardour compressor for side-chain ducking) on Linux. Definitely not remotely the same league as my Windows plugins, but you can do decent mixing jobs with those plugins for sure. It would definitely be an advantage to have all those plugins available in ALL Linux DAWs.

I forgot to mention another bug (or limitation?) I came across in the Linux version of REAPER: In the Windows/Mac version I can set the default audio path in the preferences dialog to "Audio", and it will use that path as a relative path based on the project directory. The REAPER version ignores that setting and always writes all the files into the project's root folder.

... and the peak files will always be stored in a global folder instead of the folder "peak" under my project folder, where I want them to be.

FWIW, I've used some Harrison LV2 plugs with lv2vst too, for instance these: http://harrisonconsoles.com/site/pluginessentials.html other plugins worth mentioning are the u-he ones, satin is quite a nice tape emulator.

The first of the above doesn't happen here. Media files are recorded into the Media subdir I've defined. The second I don't know as I configured reaper to store them all in a different global location.

I'm afraid my own experience with lv2vst, Carla, or any other bridging solution has not been that great. I have never gotten anything to work decently.

I do own Satin (and love it - I use it on all my Windows projects), and I have the Linux version installed, but it does not work that great either. Some controls do not react to any user input, and sometimes the GUI does very weird things.

But I hope with Bitwig, Harrison Mixbus, Waveform and REAPER being available for Linux now, some more plugin developers will eventually jump on the Linux train and help get the ball rolling.

I do not think any of the big players will get interested any time soon (if at all), but I count on the independent developers ...

For the Eq, the X42 eq is my favorite, cleaner than the eq10q ones
(specially in high frequencies). Another lv2 great plugins for Eqs
and compression, the ZamPlugins, the Multiband Compressor is great.
There are also LSP plugins, with great fonctionnalities, but the UIs doesn't
look good, but they are very efficient.

Have you tried building reapack yourself, or just installed the binary?

Ok I got it to work, I was using the latest version of the source code and that was giving me the failure. I've now used the previous version and it worked first time!

I've uploaded it here for anyone else who needs it - https://stash.reaper.fm/v/31881/reaper_reapack64.so

g++-multilib must be installed on Mint for cross-compiling the 32-bit version on a 64-bit system.
You can build only the 64-bit version (like the previous release did) using rake 'default[x64]'. I've just added this and the above to the README.

The older pre-built binaries on GitHub requires libcurl and sqlite3 files to be at a specific location (Arch Linux's). Linux Mint (and likely others) uses different filenames.

Thanks, I just rebuilt the release candidate (64bit) using your updated instructions and it worked perfectly. I've updated my stash link in my previous post with this new version.

Default popen

Hi,
I've just fired up the script editor because I'd like to use a named pipe in a Lua script. But I get the error "'popen' not supported."

I've read that popen works on OSX so is there a good reason why it shouldn't on Linux?

Just wondering if anyone else is seeing this, or if it's something in my specific desktop. I've re-tested with today's Reaper build and also with libSwell built just now from Git, and the issue persists. The Actions window is not raised (doesn't receive keyboard focus) when first called up.

Note that this issue happens whether opening the Actions dialog from the menus or with the Shift-? shortcut, and this issue does NOT occur with any other window I've tried (Preferences, Project Settings, etc.) - in those cases, the dialog properly receives keyboard focus.

I don't have this issue. Linux Mint Cinnamon.

Has anybody got instructions on how to change SWS extension to a .so from an .EXE file just like the one for reapack?,
I did find one a while back for 2.9.6 but now that 2.9.7 is out I'd like to update it & would love to try build/convert it myself?

I'm on Debian.

A Windows executable cannot simply be converted to a Linux one. The Linux binary must be built from source.

Instructions for building SWS are at https://github.com/reaper-oss/sws/wi...-SWS-Extension

Basically for Linux it's this:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/justinfrankel/WDL.git
git clone https://github.com/reaper-oss/sws.git
make
Then copy or link reaper_sws64.so into ~/.REAPER/UserPlugins.

A heads up!

Harrison has a quite good discount on their plugins right now, there is this for the XT plugins: http://mailchi.mp/harrisonconsoles/x...o?e=b3965405c7 and also this: http://harrisonconsoles.lpages.co/specials/

Note that reaper still has no lv2 support, but all of these work in reaper with the lv2vst wrapper. Still haven't played with all of them, but they all seem useful in that they have a good GUI that makes it easy to get results.

As there aren't all that many free linux plugins that work in reaper, this is a nice addition if you don't want to try running windows plugins on linux. IMO still a tad expensive, but for me still worth to buy into just to have them on reaper for linux. Hope they don't end up gathering dust as so many other plugins I've bought

One small window management issue I'm having is that, when I press Shift-? to bring up the Actions dialog, keyboard focus remains on the previous window. This breaks my usual workflow of hitting Shift-? and immediately typing a string to search for an action - instead the main window interprets my keystrokes as shortcuts. (!)

This is on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS using the Unity desktop environment.
I don't have that either (Xubuntu 16.04). For me the search field is focused after Shift-?

The forward and back buttons on my mouse just work as left and right click in Linux Reaper. Is this a driver issue, an OS (Mint) issue, or a Reaper issue?
