Did you hear that? I just shit my fucking pants. I shit. Myself. Because of what yo ujust posted. I just took a shit, in my pants, because Renoise is now ported to Linux. Shit. My. Fucking. Pants.

 

I'm at work too you know.

 

 

I can't leave for another 5 hours.

 

 

Shit. My. Pants.

i don't have time to test it, i had just told someone i'd meet them somewhere before i saw this.

 

i'll probably put a box together this weekend for linux + renoise testing

This is hillarious because I just upgraded to a Phonic Helixboard Firewire Mixer, which may or may not work under FreeBob.

 

I won't have a chance to try anything until Tuesday but hopefully I will be able to get it working then.

 

Anyone know a good source for decent LADSPA plugins?

Indeed, I still have a huge fucking boner about this. God fucking damnit I hope FreeBOB works with my new Firewire mixer.

 

Also Ive found a bunch of LADSPA plugin stuff but I'm just wondering if any of this is any good? I will be sad to give up Altiverb and my Waves plugs.

Oh shizzle ho ftw: http://dssi.sourceforge.net/download.html

dssi-vst

 

The dssi-vst package contains a wrapper plugin for Windows VSTs that enables them to be used by DSSI hosts running on Linux or similar on i386, using Wine. dssi-vst was written by Chris Cannam.

 

 

 

Seriously Ive got a boner the size of my fucking face, you guys have no idea it just keeps growing. Using Linux as my DAW would make me superhuman. I would become a god. The Earth will shake under the booty thumpin bass of my holy subwoofer and the deitastical cacophony that will erupt from my bedroom will implode worlds.

fucking hell this is serious shit. fucking awesome

yes, waveform drawing sounds dope!!!

I'm checking this out now be back in a few weeks

So anyone been using Renoise in linux?

 

I have it running -- unfortunately I haven't had a chance to get my firewire audio interface running yet. In fact Im working on it here from work so while I think this looks promising:

I'm still having to run it under sudo to get realtime support because I don't quite understand udev/rlimits yet

 

I would think that having this:

 

* - rtprio 99

* - memlock 512000

* - nice -19

 

in /etc/security/limits.conf would be enough but alas it is not.

 

Anyhow, if it's actually working today when I get home I'm going to record the sound of me jacking off all over my keyboard with Renoise running in linux

Woo, logged out and back in and it fixed itself. I'm not sure why or what happend. In the interim there I installed Squid and set up SSH web tunneling... anyhow, it at least starts and looks like it should be running, I suppose I will find out when I get home.

Holy shit.

 

My heart rate just increased tenfold.

 

This better be real.

It's definitely real, it's running on my box at home right now

and the verdict is........

The verdict is that I could run it but I didn't have jackd running with freebob until about an hour ago, unfortunately, I'm at work and my computer is at home, so while I can see that there is a jackd server running in realtime mode at 960khz sampling rate using Freebob as a driver streaming to and from ieee1394 device 0, I can't actually listen to anything to verify it's working. So anyhow, yah, it runs, it loads .xrns files fine. I'm sure it would play them. The install was completely painless on my Ubuntu 7.10 box.

sweet sounds good... what are the specs on your linux box? i have my server running the latest suse with plenty of power but i also have my other laptop which isn't too quick running debian.

it's my main PC, so, Core2Duo e6400, 2GB RAM, yadda yadda. The freebob shit is all because I have a Phonix Helixboard firewire mixer, and Linux firewire audio support is, well, it's freebob, which is mutating slowly into ffado, but there isn't a release of ffado available yet, so you get freebob, which seems to work with most, but not all firewire audio interfaces. Anyhow, jack worked great with my M-Audio Delta PCI card, any PCI or USB based stuff should work fantastically out of the box, or at least with very little tweaking. Jack is a really great audio connection manager/router. It's way more flexible than the shit you use in Windows. Any application that has audio in/our or both, can be routed to anything else. If you wanted to route your mp3 player into Renoise you can do it just fine, or the audio out from renoise into pd then out to supercolider, then into audacity then out to something else you can do that too, with essentially zero latency.

Ok, freebob totally works, and Renoise totally works

 

here is my first rendered output from renoise in linux. Yes, its lame and nothing at all, but I was just testing sync up of 2 midi devices (micro modular and dotcom modular) through line in + Renoise native fx, plus drum tracks are samples, all recorded perfectly, exactly like they do in windows. Fucking sweet.

 

Except now Firefox doesn't want to play with jackd for audio so I can't hear any youtube vids in Firefox at the moment, but I will fix that.

Has anyone else gotten this working? I could try and help if anyone is having technical difficulties

It's working great for me, so I don't need any help. It was running for me 5 seconds after I installed it, no problems or anything.
