Well... You're trying to run an app that wasn't built for linux in linux. So... no.Jackjackdaw wrote: ↑05 Feb 2020"after a good few hours of tinkering i still havnt been able to get it working. "
This sentence right here says to me that Linux is in exactly the same place it's always been as a consumer desktop os.
Slowly building my plugins. I've always wanted to use a linux distro as my main OS but I like Reason too much. Or else, I'd be using bitwig probably.the thing that took so long was trying to build airwave from the source instead of using the .deb package, so its nothing to do with linux in the case. i could still be doing the same thing with some windows program thats hosted on github where the documentation hasnt be maintained in yearsJackjackdaw wrote: ↑05 Feb 2020"after a good few hours of tinkering i still havnt been able to get it working.

wow, if only all those "linux people" were as clever. I used windows for 20 years and now I only dual-boot it with disgust for Reason. Must be dementia.Jackjackdaw wrote: ↑05 Feb 2020Okay, but I've never felt the need to spend hours tinkering with with Windows trying to run a Mac OS app. Hasn't even crossed my mind. Linux users are always banging on about Wine and messing around with the console to try and get stuff working, same old same old.
I guess it's easily in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Maybe 6-12 months salary for an engineer to do the actual work and then ongoing costs for the support department, both training and the increased support burden. Also the online store changes that would be needed. And I'm not sure how well CodeMeter works on Linux.
We were talking about Linux' viability as an OS for Reason, but since you mentioned it, there are plenty of uses for quotation marks, including an implication of meaning. You're welcome.Jackjackdaw wrote: ↑19 Feb 2020You know those quote marks are supposed to be used when quoting what someone actually said or wrote right?
Simple trick to completely shutdown any attempt to start Windows Update.zebbleganubi wrote: ↑29 Jan 2020just messing around with this a bit more. i installed the windows version of bitwig in wine and i was able to open europa, see the dialog window and choose demo. it works ok but you dont get the the multitouch option with the bitwig on-screen keyboard like in the linux version.
then i remember that wine 5.0 was released a few days ago so i upgraded and was able to get europa working with the linux version of bitwig! all of the parameters are showing up in bitwig too. the ui is a bit on the small and the zoom buttons in europa dont work properly but beggars cant be choosers i suppose
now the only thing i need to figure out is the audio. im using pulse-whatever-the-name-is because i couldnt get jack working and the audio is crackling a lot. if i could get that sorted i might upgrade to reason 11 at some point so i can get all the rack gear in bitwig... presuming the rack plugin will work the same as europa
i switched about 5 months ago now and havnt looked back. the thing that was doing my head in was microsoft taking control over my computer with updates so i run windows in virtualbox now and its much better keeping it at arms length.
when i shut down the windows vm i choose the suspend option and then in only takes about 5 seconds to open up the next time. you could do the same with osx if you are getting machine that is beefy enough to run both. it definitely helps if you want to get into linux to use it as your main computer. i tried for a few years with linux on a second laptop, but after a few days i would run into trouble i would go back to windows and just end up forgetting about linux until the next annoying automatic update.
nice one thanks. i didnt know it was that easy. i remember looking before at some tutorial of how to do it but it looked very involved so i didnt bother.
It's a very unknown workaround, can't remember where I found it but it took a while.zebbleganubi wrote: ↑24 Feb 2020i spoke too soon. i just remembered i made a copy of the vst3 file to another location on its own and carla was trying to open up that and not the correct one.
so the reason gui opens up now... but the notes dont seem to be passing through to it. sigh, so close. im all out of ideas though

You are having better luck than I am with Carla and Reason Rack. I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 w/ Carla 2.1 and when scanning for plugins the carla bridge crashes on reason rack. Curious what your setup is. Since I've added reason I also lost all my other plugins in Carla, guessing because it crashes the bridge.zebbleganubi wrote: ↑24 Feb 2020i spoke too soon. i just remembered i made a copy of the vst3 file to another location on its own and carla was trying to open up that and not the correct one.

Bear in mind: Bitwig, Reaper, Ardour ...
i wiped the computer i was testing that on just a few days ago so im not sure of the version numbers that i was using. i installed all the "apt-cache search carla" stuff i could find, the distro was zorin os, probably 18 or 19, and wine 5.0thejustinwalsh wrote: ↑05 May 2020You are having better luck than I am with Carla and Reason Rack.

i saw it but i didnt have a clue what it was! im gonna have to go do more testing i suppose, brbthejustinwalsh wrote: ↑05 May 2020As for your audio routing, can you use carla patchbay and route it that way?
im on pretty much the same setup now (pop 20.04) and when i scan for plugins im getting a message i wasnt getting before and the reason rack plugin isnt showing up nowthejustinwalsh wrote: ↑05 May 2020I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 w/ Carla 2.1 and when scanning for plugins the carla bridge crashes on reason rack
Yeah - this is exactly where I got. Audio doesn't pass through either. It's a shame this doesn't even work in a round about way.zebbleganubi wrote: ↑24 Feb 2020so the reason gui opens up now... but the notes dont seem to be passing through to it. sigh, so close. im all out of ideas though

thejustinwalsh mentioned about maybe routing the audio to using the carla patchbay
Code: Select all

That has been the trick since ever when running Reason (also the old versions before Reason 6) in wine. I suppose they use some rather obscure method to draw the menu bar and this has not been implemented 100% in wine.zebbleganubi wrote: ↑21 May 2020if you want to access the menu bar at the top then press the alt key then press the down key separately and use left and right to go to the other menus.
