Remix_OS - new Linux distro for REAPER
Remix_OS (Realtime Environment for Multimedia freenIX Operating System) is a free Linux distribution based on Debian, Ubuntu and Puredyne, specialised for real-time audio.
Remix_OS comes with liquorix patched kernel 2.6.38-2 for hyper-lowlatency audio and includes fully-functional trial version of the REAPER DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) that runs with WineASIO driver.
With Remix_OS you don't need a professional audio card to get low latency.
Remix_OS is very fast, light and stable and can run live from a DVD or a USB stick or can be installed onto internal or external HDD or a USB flash drive.
Remix_OS also includes all media codecs needed for a good multimedia experience and a selection of the best applications designed to meet most of your daily needs:
* Audio, video and image editors
* Office suite
* Network applications
* Sun Java
* Easy-to-use backup software
Official website: http://www.remix-os.org
Forum: http://remix-os.forums.gs/
PS: I have to report, that Remix_OS website doesn't exist anymore.
But you still can download Remix_OS iso and torrents using following links:
remix_os-12.02-i386.iso
remix_os-12.02-i386.iso.torrent
remix_os-12.03-amd64.iso
remix_os-12.03-amd64.iso.torrent

Please let us know how it works for you.

Sleep,
Go here and it'll tell you how to use a utility to put a linux package onto a usb stick or sd card:

(this is what piqued my interest last week but I have had time to go out and get an 8gb stick yet..)

This method doesn"t work with Remix_OS for a moment. But it's easy to install it on a USB stick the same way like on a HDD.
Following the installer, when you get to "Allocate drive space" screen, selest "Erase and use the entire disk" and press "Forward". Then select your USB flash drive from the "Select drive" pop-up menu and press "advanced partitioning tool" link below. On the next screen make sure that your USB stick drive is highlighted, then select your USB flash drive from the "Boot loader" ("Device for the boot loader installation:") pop-up menu and click on the "Install Now" button.
-
By the way, this method may not work for Puredyne as well with some USB sticks. In that case you can do it in another way:
1) Format your USB stick in a one FAT32 partition and make it bootable.
2) Use UNetbootin to install Puredyne on it.
3) Reboot and start your computer from a live CD again.
4) Run Gparted and resize the USB stick so that the first partition has the minimal size for installed system. Then format the remaining space into ext2 and label it "live-rw".

Will you get a lower or higher latency compared to Windows?

I have a few questions before I spend any time on this:
1). Can you run ANY VST plugins? If so, what plugs are there that run in Linux?
2). Can I use my external 1.5 TB harddrive without any trouble?
Much appreciated!

In Remix_OS you can get very small latencies and use any sample rate on any type of audio cards, even on build-on ones (sounds fantastically?!). You can see it on a second screenshot that was made on a laptop with build-on Realtek card, that doesn't support 48 kHz sample rate. However if you set up extremely low buffer size and high sample rate on a cheap card you can get pops and clicks in the sound and also have less dynamic range. Anyway you can open any project. Feel free to experiment.

1) Not any one. At first you can't run cracked plugins that use dongle key protection emulation.
Most of the plugins should work good, but some of them could have problems with graphical interface. In REAPER you can bypass the problem, using it's own GUI: click on the UI button at the upper right corner of the plugin's window.
And you can't use Linux plugins with REAPER.
2) Yes.

Sorry for mistake. There is no password for LiveDVD - leave the blank empty.
By the way, LiveDVD should log in automatically without a prompting.

Hi Remixer
Will there be a 64-bit version of Remix OS?
I'd like to be able to use all of my 8GB Ram.

ok this is working very well.
I overwrote my mint partition and this thing is so much better
couple things
1-Installed different version of reaper, wont recognize winasio I guess because it wont find asio drivers. preinstalled reaper works fine
2-no dual monitor support for my nvidia card, (I can work this out, I thought I'd tell you though)
overall I am very impressed. Nice work

Maybe later. Wine doesn't run 64-bit software, so I am not sure, that 32-bit REAPER's version will recognize more than 4 Gb. It needs testing. I have only 1 Gb on my laptop, so i can't for a moment. If somebody test it, I can make a 64-bit version of Remix_OS.

I can not test Multiple Screen function. Maybe it will work, if you install proprietary driver. It's recommended - free nvidia driver heats a chip.

ok so how do you install reaper (not the included version)
I run the .exe installer(odd because all distros usually alert me of executable bit blah)and it installs,but audio device settings do not show asio drivers.....
then I run the preinstalled version and all works OK.
what is the problem here?
Does it have to do with linreaper?
this distro has everything I need, I hope I can get this to work.
Thanks again

Why do you want to install REAPER if it's already installed?
If you want to upgrade it, go to LinReaper option -> install VST pligins, locate .exe file and click Execute.
And please, don't miss the manual - there is a lot of helpfull info )

Thank you.
Reaper is installed under root with a LinReaper script. To do the same you have to create root, and then run (from root) a LinReaper version that has an option to install Reaper to the same location.

yep that worked thanks
this is pretty cool man. some quirks, like when I finaly found where the linreaper wine local drive was, Its root so its hard to drag projects into it, but I am working on that.
This may kill xp for me. Lets see.
***edit***
3 os freezes. doing different things. mouse cursor still movable but no response from system.
Tried jack on fire-wire card. Not starting jack
switched back to emu(that was working) now it wont start.
Honestly I hate jack.
need to have direct access to the isolated wine "c drive"
you have done a great job and I know this is just beta.
Also is there a gnome build? If not then how about more system settings for xfce.

Very cool...
Im messing around with setting up a maschine/mpc style sample chopping version of reaper using shortcuts and scripts with out using other 3rd/party software. REaper is the fastest at chopping up samples so far once you setup it up.. havent really tested out the latency thing but i'm running at 128 samples with a latency of 5.8ms reading from reaper. I'm running ni ak1 soundcard.. Basically only doing simple stuff so far.. Like trggering from a controller.. But it's working very solid..
This is exciting yeah!!!!

I see no reason to move projects to the reaper's folder. From Reaper you can open a project at any partition. To be safely and sure your filesystem is working at the full speed you can move your project folder to your /home/<user> folder.

Could you describe the problem clearly? And tell what video card you have?

There's no garantee that firewire diveces will work with linux. It's a linux kernel problem, not jack. Maybe there is a linux driver for your card - try to find it.

The Remix_OS goal is to have a fast, light and stable OS, so you can work with a big reaper's project even form USB stick on a laptop with 1Gb memory. Gnome doesn't look like. It's to heavy and takes more memory. I used Gnome for few years and can not say that I was satisfied.
XFCE setting are in /home/<user>/.config/xfce4 folder. You can change them manually. But there is not so much to do. You can also use another desktop theme. There is a lot of them in internet. But if you change settings or use another theme, don't be surprised you have GUI bugs in wine or in any Gnome programs. I've been testing Remix_OS theme for few months with all software included. It still has bug with Openshot, but will be fixed in the next release.

the freeze has not happened again. it was totally random, and I was messing with jack at the time.
I have a nvidia gforce 5200 pci video card. you know I reinstalled remix os and did not use nvidia drivers and no freeze...weird
I know all about firewire and linux. It sucks.
good point about moving projects. Its weird ocd thing on my part
and yeah forget the gnome thing now that I think about it, your right.
If all works out right, I beleive Ill only need my xp partition for dreamweaver.
I see you have put lots of work into this and I am gratefull. please take my comments as positive and constructive.
Thank you again.

For nVidia cards it could be better to install proprietary driver (System->Hardware Drivers). The latest may not be the best for wine. You may need to spend some time to test all of them.
There are some good HTML editors for Linux to replace Dreamweaver. You can also try to install Dreamweaver in wine.

installing nvidia driver killed X on my system. be careful. No ui. no documentation to pull it back to life.
I love this os so much, I'm going to reinstall it. But just a heads up to the developer.
I hope this comes to full non beta version.
