If it supports VST, I imagine yabridge would work fine to allow you to use Windows VST. https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge https://github.com/robbert-vdh/

  Looks like a pain to install (doesn't support Fedora 37, isn't included in standard Fedora repositories, requires to use non-standard Wine version).

    None of that is Ardour's fault, but the 'fault' of plugin developers not providing Linux binaries in the first place.
    • codedokode 3y ago
      If nobody provides Linux binaries then maybe it is better to support Windows binaries out of the box?
      • runiq 3y ago
        How? By bundling WINE? No thanks.

        Yes because it's trivial to dynamically link to a windows dll from a linux program

    For Fedora use this copr https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/patrickl/yabridge/ https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/patrickl/yabridge/

      The link says that it supports only Fedora 38. Also, the main page for COPR says (in a small font): "NOTE: Copr is not yet officially supported by Fedora Infrastructure.". As I understand, it is the repository for packages uploaded by random anonymous users (not related to the authors of yabridge or Fedora).

        > The link says that it supports only Fedora 38 That is correct. I didn't think specifically about Fedora 37; it's been a while since I upgraded to 38. I couldn't find F37 builds, even though that's around the time I tested yabridge. You might consider switching to 38 anyway, as 37 is less than two months away from it reaching EOL -- F39 release date (17 October) + 30 days. > As I understand, it is the repository for packages uploaded by random anonymous users (not related to the authors of yabridge or Fedora). That is mostly correct. It was not uploaded, but built on the Fedora infrastructure, following the RPM spec you can reach from the builds tab [1], for example the latest change located here [2]. There is an amount of trust you have to give to the copr author, but you can also check the rpm spec file [3]. Important quick checks are around the source0 lines. > Also, the main page for COPR says (in a small font): "NOTE: Copr is not yet officially supported by Fedora Infrastructure." Getting a package shipped into the Fedora base repositories seems rather bureaucratic and I understand any hacker that doesn't want to use their own time to deal with that.

    Once installed I've found it to work pretty much flawlessly, very few windows plugins don't work with it.
