Spitfire Audio libraries working great in Reaper for Linux!
I am loving Reaper for Linux, please Cockos keep improving the Linux version along with the Windows version.
I have Spitfire Audio libraries working wonderfully in Reaper for Linx, with no observable latency. I am using JACK, Qjackctl, and Carla in Linux. These libraries are working great for me in Linux: BBC Symphonic Orchestra, all the Spitfire LABS, all the Spitfire Originals. This gives me a great set of sampled instruments for orchestral composing in Linux using Reaper for Linux. I have had mixed results with Native Instruments, Kontakt, so for now I have scrubbed trying to use NI libraries; I could get them to load and work in Reaper for Linux, but they were not 'persistent' between closing Reaper and opening up a Reaper project. Spitfire Audio libs were persistent in Linux so I am loving them.

I have Kontakt working both in REAPER for Linux using LinVST and also functioning in stand alone Carla, but I don't know if it remembers anything since I fire it up and load a plugin only for jamming around.
In REAPER for Linux, I don't use Carla because it's just not as clean as using LinVST which makes your Windows plugins behave as if they were native Linux plugins. You just select them the same way as you would in Windows and you never see or mess with LinVST after setting it up once. |

I just took screenshots of what I have installed using Synaptic regarding Carla, wine, and vst. See attached, might be helpful, or not. I also included a screenshot to show where the dll plugin files are located in wine and that I load into Carla rack as my Reaper track FX. To make it easy, I copied my Spitfire LABS, Originals, and BBCSO from my drive where they were for use in Windows 10 to ~/.wine/drive_c/users/myusername/Spitfire I created the Spitfire folder before the above of course. I did have to do some 'repairs' using the Spitfire library manager app. And what goofed me up at first was trying to load (in Carla Rack of Carla VSTi) a vst or vst3 that was in ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files. I learned that loading whatever.vst3 does NOT work; you have to search in the Program Files folders and find the whatever.dll to load into Carla, for example LABS.dll not LABS.vst But Spitfire works great with reaper. Make sure you install (I used synaptic) anything bridge related, like wine vst bridge, carla bridge, etc., I think those might have helped.
