well i had a look on the debian site and found:
debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso 139MB
which I assume is the equivalent to Arch base/net install:
Archlinux-i686-2007.08.1-Don't-Panic-Base.iso 145MB
ooo close.
But seriously debian is probably the most stable distro ever made and so I'm sure it would be hard to leave it.
In comparison, Debian is better for stability, but when I say that in relation, Windows is a 3 out of 10, SuSE/Ubuntu etc 6 out of 10, Arch 8 out of 10 and Debian 9 out of 10.
Speed wise no one has really tested but people say there pretty much exactly the same.
Some more things I love about Arch are that it's quite a bit easier to setup than Debian, it's not n00b friendly but takes alot less work; also ALL the packages are i686 optimised, so you can't use an ancient machine but compiling and what not is super fast.
Anyways Linux is and has always been about choice, if you don't like Arch don't use it, however it makes an excellent test bed for my tutorial audio installation because I can tweak and explain everything from scratch and hopefully turn a few people to the ways of the Linux once I'm done.

The netinst still downloads a ton of stuff to create a standard install as I believe and think I have experienced... becomes either 600 meg-ish or 900 can't recall. if the 145 of arch's base install is all it needs [plus some for expanding out] that's pretty cool...
big thanks for the pointing out of arch...! sees like a very cool community...

Just to be clear: The wineasio project was begun by Robert Reif. I did some testing for him when he wrote it. Ralf's additions and maintenance are most welcome, but he didn't start the project.

Does Ian know about this?
I'm all about Debian. I've tried Slack, SuSE, Mand*, Fedora, Red Hat, *Ubuntu, Gentoo, and a few other minor ones. I've had far and away the best success with Debian. I went from Slink all the way up to Woody through dist-upgrades (i.e. no reinstall). Then my machine died and it was time to start again anyway.
Of course, I liked Slackware very much way back in the day. apt won me over.

thanks Dave, am I to assume correctly that you are one and the same? I think I've read most of these before but I'll definitely give em a read again.
I really want to streamline everything into as little documentation as possible. If only for myself, so I can do it again sometime and have it all working in under an hour.

Hey there!
I use ubuntu for websurfing ect. and have been experimenting with Reaper in Wine lately. Unfortunately I can't loose the windows partition because of the lack of linux drivers for my TC Konnekt24D soundcard. I just use the internal soundcard.
I have most plugins working and my Korg PadKontrol which is cool. I didn't expect usb midi to work...
So I have enough up and running to eg. program drums with the Korg and DFHS, but I have some strange problems with Wine/Compiz.
I run Compiz Fusion and thought it would be cool to have different windows on different sides of the cube. Main window on one, mixer on the other and so on.
The problem is that sometimes when I return to the main window it is gone, and I have to kill the proccess in system monitor. The GUI doesn't update when the window isn't in focus either. E.g. if I'm on the main window and spin the cube to the mixer, the meters doesn't work until I let go of the mouse. The GUI has to redraw and I get a cpu spike...
Anyone have a clue? Probably related to wine or compiz.
Thanks

Wine probably doesn't recognize that you can have a monitor that extensive. If it viewed it as a separate monitor, maybe.
I would say turn off you Compiz stuff when running audio apps though, save the CPU cycles for the audio tasks.
Does it work with regular (Gnome/KDE) multi-desktops?

i dont think so....native linux is a different beast, and imo will end up supporting not just native (linux) vst, but all the OTHER linux formats (ladspa et all)...
not to mention that there is a "jack-enabled" engine that can let the "win" eXT wire into the "lin" xt2, or any other jack supported thing-a-majig which includes reaper running with wineasio
but yeah....im an eXT nut, yes (and falling hard for reaper as well)
i use both in wineasio, and both seem to work well, but...tbh i think as far as pure comparing native windows performance to wineasio, i would say XT2 takes less of a hit than reaper does, but its very minimal if you have the right setup.
i'll take linux audio any way i can
wow this is an old thread....so maybe im a bit late to reaper (started using only with V2) but am very active in wineasio so i would like to give some input here and there

cool
didnt know luna worked! ive gotten traction 2 and 3 to load (very glitchy, unuasable imho, more wine hacking is needed), but cantabile light is a good one to use too. great as a "minihost" you can route the audio out of etc...

Hey guys, Im not sure who to ask, and hopefully someone could point me in the right direction, but is there ANY chance someone could port wineasio to the BeOS version called "Zeta"?

Got up and running on Ubuntu Gutsy in about 5 minutes. Seems to work great based on a quick 10 minute test. A few UI glitches, but the audio and VSTs that I tried worked perfectly. Nice job. Now if only the MOTU would work...

hey guys,
i found this thread by accident, but it was so interesting that i read the whole thing and now am REALLY excited about running my favorite audio app (Reaper) under a linux distro.
I've had very minimal experience with linux in the past (I tried to install many many distros, but couldnt manage any except Ubuntu, which i then used as a general use computer; OpenOffice, web browsing, listening to Cd's), but i would love to migrate my audio operation to linux...
however, i do not have a clue about which distro to use.
there were so many distros mentioned in the thread that my head started to spin, and i have no idea which to start on.
I would like something that can run reaper and this wineasio that seems so kickarse, but it also needs to be something that is really really simple. (dumb simple, especially installation).
any suggestions?
(btw, i have two computers i could use... a P4 dell, or a core2 macbook using bootcamp)

WineASIO
This is the very news that has drawn me to Reaper, having moved from Cubase to Ardour, I find that this method would provide a more reliable VST host than wrapping each plugin seperately
I've just downloaded the exe, and if I get my head round it will be registering

I have Reaper installed and working on my Fedora core 4 laptop. It seemed to work fine at home when I had only the standard onboard audio. At work I have a M-Audio fasttrack Pro. Usually this works reasonably for output. But I can't make Reaper play its output through the Fasttrack, it only comes out through the laptop speakers.
I have jackd -d alsa running, but under qjackctl (which I'm not used to using) I can't seem to find an a way of getting the audio to come out the fasttrack pro.
I've created whatever output plugs from the wine asio client I can, and created all input plugs, and connected everything to everything. But nothing comes through the USB Fasttrack Pro.
I only have "alsa" as output in winecfg, as recommended in documentation. The sound is clearly going through jack as if I kill jackd, sound stops.
The Fasttrack Pro is my standard alsa output device, and mplayer -ao alsa works fine.
Can anyone put me out of my misery?

To get started might I suggest Ubuntu Studio? It's a modded version of Ubuntu made for audio recording and media editing. It has the realtime kernel installed by default and it has a pretty nice interface. Another alternative would be the JAD distro. Which is based off SuSE I believe.
Not sure if both come with wine preinstalled but your going to have to install Reaper manually, its easy, lots of people have said how to. As for wineasio it might be hard to find this in a neat package as there are license restrictions permitting people to do this, same sort of problems with mp3's on Linux. However there are lots of tutorials online on how to install wineasio in Ubuntu Studio and JAD.

im downloading linuxmint 4,0 right now,im gonna check if reaper will work in it,and if its stable,because i wanted(when i get a new harddrive for my laptop)to make a dualboot system with vista for internet,photoshop and xp for audio producing,but if linux mint is stable and i can get it running with out big problems i might try that
one thing thats frightening(for me that is)is all the coding for when you need to install programs and stuff??
btw the linux partition will be used for audio only
btw will reaper in linux run as it does in windows,with all the new features??

basically the desktop environment.
the main linux mint along with the main ubuntu, use gnome as the desktop environment and nautilus as the file manager. linux mint xfce edition, is like xubuntu, which is ubuntu using the xfce desktop and thunar file manager. The reason i personally like xfce is because you get all the good stuff of gnome but with less cpu usage and thunar is much much faster than nautilus for file management (you can navigate through the filesystem simply using mouse gestures, as a quick example) ...so fundamentally there is nothing different about the system, just some of its looks and features. you could always install xfce/thunar after the fact to compare. one of the great things about linux

(some linux apps such as dj mixing programs wont allow this)
pls say it is so !!

so does this mean that in the main edition with the gnome thing,i need to use codes everytime i need to do something or??
i will only have reaper and the vst (that works in linux)installed on the linux partition,my sample library will be put on a 40gb external usb harddisk
another thing,if i choose to use linux,that part wont be having access to the internet(as i will use it purely for music)soo how do i keep it updated??drivers and other things??

I'm not sure what you mean by "codes", but if you mean using the commandline, the no, you don't _have_ to use it, but it will make it easier to do some things.
Both XFCE and Gnome gives you access to the commandline/terminal, they really only differ (slighly) in looks and (a lot in) memory usage.
And yes, you can access your Windows partitions from both Linux and Reaper in Linux.

What programs won't allow you to do this?
I've never encountered a Linux program with a a similar restriction, so this sounds a little odd to me.
Remember, you can do a lot with symbolic links.

windows
currently the only reason I have windows installed is for Numark Cue. Only thing on it, network devices disabled. I own a maya44 usb and can only get 2 channels with it in ubuntu (need 4x4 for timecode vinyl function) and there really isn't many 4x4 interfaces for linux (firebox but apparently buggy as all hell)
sry to get off topic.

I've just installed and looked at Mixxx. It seems to me that you can just navigate to your Windows-partition and load the music files from there?
Symbolic links are a bit like shortcuts in Windows, except these are actual links and not just a text file.
You can use them for A LOT of things, one example could be to have a quick access to your Windows audio files in your home directory:
Code:
ln -s "/media/windows/Documents and Settings/User/My Audio" "$HOME/Windows Audio"
Of course you'll have to adjust the paths above to match your setup, but this is a great way to keep track of your files.
Note that this can be done easily by drag and drop as well, but the method differs slightly from Nautilus (Gnome) to Thunar (XFCE) to Konqueror (KDE) - but generally it involves holding down a modifier key (shift, alt, etc.) while dragging.
This is a handy tip for using Reaper as well, so I guess it's on topic

Cybolic, you got it. Particularly for Reaper.
It's worth remembering here the useability of Linux has come a long way, for those not so familiar with the terminal or command line.
In my case Ubuntustudio has been excellent, and once i got my head around a couple of commands, and the flexibility one has at compile time, it's not difficult for those seriously interested in making the switch.
There are quite a few programmes and packages out there which compliment Reaper directly, and the Reap in Wine is running as sweetly for me than it did in windows. A bit of effort and the returns (imho) are greater.
And i can assure anyone wanting to take the linux journey with Reaper, if i can do it, given my lingering fondness for writing on parchment, then the rest of you are in with a real chance.
Just take it one step at time. (I take loads of notes, and that seems to help.)
Alex.

after having problems with the linuxmint 4,0(i downloadet yesterday)i found a linux cd i apparently had laying around,its ubuntu version 6,0,6 lts
i tried to run it as live-cd on restart(as i dont have my new harddisk yet)and it started up fine(abit slow)but i think thats because i ran it from the cd???
i didnt have time to test how it works,but i now know that when i have the time,i will test it to see if it works on my laptop.i will for sure have some more questions when the time comes,so i will probaly post them here

yeah you need to click the install icon on the live cd to get it on the hard drive.
Linux always runs slow from the cd.

yes i am waiting for my new harddisk next month,was told that ubuntu version 6,0,6(thats the cd i found while cleaning)is a pretty old version,but it works well(at first glance,with no testing yet)is there a way i can update,or will that version be stable enough to use for audio??
