Is it possible to wedge WINE between a Windows VST and a native Linux DAW?

Is it possible to wedge WINE between a Windows VST and a native Linux DAW?
- ta988 9mo agoYes with yabridge but it is really brittle.
- embedding-shape 9mo agoBrittle in terms of crashes sometimes, or brittle as in "looses bit of connection always"?
- Aldipower 9mo agoBrittle in terms of GUI rendering, sometimes, never had problems with the audio though.
- bandrami 9mo agoIt used to be the only way to do it (LMMS is still kind of stuck in that time period). Fortunately there are a lot more native plugins now.
- jaimex2 9mo agoIt's pretty sad that LMMS is stuck there. The wine hacks needed are not trivial either, you need legacy versions of it.
- Aldipower 9mo agoYes, with yabridge, it works very well for example with all the Valhalla Reverb plugins. But then there are others like FabFilter, they do not work so well. But luckily there are now native Linux FabFilter alternatives, like ToneBoosters EQ Pro, Tal EQ, ZL EQ, ...
- embedding-shape 9mo agoAs a FabFilter user, how do those alternatives compare? I mostly use Pro-C and Pro-Q
- Aldipower 9mo agoThey _all_ offer Dynamic EQ, all the phase modes (linear, minimal and derivatives), freq matching, collision detection, side chaining, etc... Absolutely comparable imho. And cheaper. ZL Equalizer even is open source! https://www.toneboosters.com/tb_equalizer_pro.html https://www.toneboosters.com/tb_equalizer_pro.html https://tal-software.com/products/tal-eq https://tal-software.com/products/tal-eq https://zl-audio.github.io/plugins/zlequalizer2/manual/ https://zl-audio.github.io/plugins/zlequalizer2/manual/
- sramsay 9mo agoI'll put TB Barricade against Pro-L 2 and TB Reverb against Pro-R for sure. I mostly use other stuff for EQ and compression, but those two are really very similar to the FB offerings.
- ErroneousBosh 9mo agoI think you can do it with Carla if you build it with Wine libs linked.
- camtarn 9mo agoYabridge works, and it's frankly incredible that it works at all, but it has some trouble figuring out where I'm clicking on EZDrummer. It's gotten better in the latest version of Linux Mint but it's still a bit off.
