Bitwig Ubuntu

[Emmaline]

Iam trying to uninstall Bitwig from my computer and I'm not sure as to how. I currently do not have the .deb package and a sudo apt-get remove bitwig does not seem to be working. Bitwig is not on the Software Center either.

So after downloading the .deb package, I had to open in it software center and then uninstall the program. I am certainly looking for more efficient ways of uninstalling a program if I have already lost the .deb package.

Got busy and forgot to check this. For what it is worth, I am still able to use Rack Pro version 2.0.6 as a VST with Bitwig 4.4.10 and Ubuntu Studio 22.04. Every version of Rack Pro after that I have tried fails.

Sadly that only partially worked for me, as at least the VST3 Plugins now work in Bitwig (wich i just updated to 5.1.8). The Clap Plugin of VCV Rack still results in an error on my Fedora 39 Linux system:

com.bitwig.flt.library.metadata.reader.exception.CouldNotReadMetadataException: could not read metadata: Failed to initialized CLAP plug-in /home/diwowo/.clap/VCV Rack 2.clap: clap_plugin_entry->init() returned false

Not at all

I used once Bitwig but was not convinced.

By the way, tell us what linux distribution are you using ? Bitwig version ? Jack ?

Is there a forum dedicated to bitwig on their brand website ?

Screenshots of the preferences in bitwig ?

I tried make and it needs OpenGL, Im using Zorin 16. I dont want to have to use arch because installing bitwig and hypnotix for tv is going to be tougher to install. I tryed this and it seems to be installing "sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev freeglut3-dev mesa-common-dev"

I got this error "make: *** [Makefile:198: deps] Error 2"

Make sure to move the complete bundles (e.g. CardinalFX.vst) into their respective folders, not the individual files contained within the bundles (they're sort of like a .zip file, in that respect... lots of files within the .vst bundles, move each bundle intact (not extracted) into its respective user folder).

I made all the folders then tried make and im still getting that error "make: *** [Makefile:198: deps] Error 2

" Weird this "sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev freeglut3-dev mesa-common-dev" says its for the dependencies.

Oh move the files.

Huh... build-dep is supposed to be a command to aptitude to resolve dependencies. Of course, the -f also tells it to aggressively attempt to resolve dependencies, so run that command without build-dep and see what happens.

So I installed kxstudio-repos whats next I tried searching software for kxstudio and it cant be found.

I did

sudo apt install cardinal

and I have carla in my audio video. I tried to place the files in the folders Ionly got as far as .vst the rest I cant find.

then I did sudo apt install cardinal and found carla in my audio video.

Screenshot from 2023-01-27 23-05-231065795 99.5 KB I dont even know how to play anything in it. I copied the cardinal vst folders but I cant find any of the other folders and do I even need them? My device is greyed out.

I tried to run cardinal and got

I was able to add a picture earlier, I was trying to show proof its installed but the add picture feature stopped working for me so I was trying different methods to see what works. I just made this using a cardinal demo I tweaked a bit -yay

It depends on the use. For much studio recording where the monitoring is done outside the DAW, latency is not an issue. However, if the player is using the internal synth for monitoring or guitar effects in the DAW to help them play with the proper ferocity, latency is important and a generic ubuntu kernel will not get many users what they want.

In case of @anon60445789 requesting a low cpu-dma latency is what made all the difference!

Likely the CPU was unused for relatively long time, went into C3 or C6 sleep (both turn off bus clocks) and re-enabling hw clock takes too long.

PS. Compiling the Linux kernel (or Ardour) with constant 100% CPU usage of all cores can equally result in thermal throttling, but in that case the system will just compile more slowly. With audio it may result in dropouts.

I've found a thread here from 2010 about the possibility of a Linux version. I have abandoned windows for good and using ubuntu studio distro now. I would love to be able to run my copy of aalto here.

Personally I'd rather have more time devoted to the main platforms. *nix daw users comprise an extremely small group. I could understand iOS or android as touchscreen capabilities would bring a new dimension to Kaivo, Aalto, and Virta. Plus every support request seems to be more involved as it consists of additional layers of abstraction that you don't deal with in Windows or Mac, like having to talk people through basic terminal syntax for installing.

And no, you dont need to talk us people through basic terminal support. The few users that linux has, are 99% of the time nerds and technicians that dont really need this kind of support. They are able to help themselfs as part of a community process. That's what manufacturers currently dont really get.

ok, Push2 is not going to entice many, but we could be creative in this area... my Orac 1.1 for example is going to support remote display, so use your iPhone/iPad , or anything that you can create a UI in that uses OSC.

Oh man, I hope this comes to pass. I'm using Linux more and more. With REAPER, Bitwig, and u-he plugins coming to Linux, and with everything Steam has been doing to make Linux more generally accessible, I'm starting to envision a future where I don't have to keep up an extra laptop just for audio production.

Two months ago I left Windows 7 and went 100% Linux to Ubuntu Studio. It's the best decision that I have made with a computer! After 10 years of putting it off and saying it's too hard, the horrific slave master that is Windows 10 drove me elsewhere. I could not imagine using Windows 10. That is the worst OS that I have ever seen; I have seen better Linux OS's made by one guy in his garage.

I have kept all of my music software even though most of it doesn't work on Linux. Only Reaper and renoise work on Linux. I have Kaivo. It's sad that I couldn't have used it more. I'd be happy to be a beta tester on Linux for Kaivo if Madrona Labs ever wanted that. Not that I expect it; I agree that as Linux users we are a small minority.

Madrona Labs makes awesome software. That hasn't changed. I just wish that the brain dead idiots who run Microsoft had not made Windows 10. I cannot believe that Microsoft would have the chutzpah to expect me to use such trash. It's like a car that goes where it wants to go and ignores you. Every day is a battle. You want one thing. Microsoft wants the opposite. I could not longer be bothered; my finite lifespan has better things to do than being enslaved by stupid updates, tiles and ad IDs that look like a toilet, and Microsoft wanting to limit my software to things that make them money in their joke Windows store.

Then there's the big picture. The endgame for Microsoft is to make your desktop into a 1970's dumb terminal that only exists in the cloud. That's not for me. Unless of course I were a sheeple who follows Ed the Bott, the Guardian Muppet or numerous other media Windows shills who want me to be a blue pilled, spoon fed Microsoftie. Well, that ain't me. I'm red pilled. Terrible is terrible. No cognitive dissonance or Stockholm syndrome. To hell with Microsoft's trash. I'm now in Linux for good.

Aalto and Kaivo run perfectly on a linux computer with the help of e.g. Carla Plugin VST host. Running it on a quite performative laptop atm, no crashes, sound is perfect, midi mapping with external gear works properly.

With my last new computer I got a dual boot setup going (with Bitwig on Windows and Linux) and one of the biggest things I miss on Linux are the Madrona plugins (I bought all of them). Had a great time with VCV-Rack and Jack tho.

I know porting elaborate software with many dependencies can be quite a pain indeed, so one can only hope that the stars will align at one point, the mood is high, the gods smile at us etc. I'd probably even go as far as buying all the plugins again just to have them on Linux.

Thanks for the support. Sumu won't come out for Linux initially as I just have to ship it ASAP. But I would love to add Linux support along with Aalto v.2. Possibly Aaltoverb might make a nice first step into Linux even earlier, since it's simpler.

Beating a dead horse, here, but I just want to say that when I made the switch from Mac to Linux last year, I left behind dozens and dozens of plugins (I was already a REAPER user, so no problems there). No more Arturia, no more Omnisphere, no more NI, no more Softube , no more FabFilter (that hurt) . . . I left behind a lot of stuff.

But it's amazing how little I miss most of it (the fact that all the u-He stuff works perfectly in Linux was probably decisive). But I do miss a few things. And Aalto/Kaivo are absolutely at the top of that list. That was a hard, hard thing to leave behind.

So yeah, Randy. I get it. We're a small market. I can imagine it being a pain, if only because targeting "Linux" can mean targeting a 1000 idiosyncratic setups. But man, that would be a happy day for Linux users.

I enjoy my Arturia products, particularly Analog Lab and Pigments, so I echo other folks here in saying that I would loooove to see these plugins built for Linux, especially with the CLAP API. That would certainly be a lot better than using WINE and futzing with yabridge.

The difference between a DE (Desktop Environment) and a distro is more confusing.

KDE stands for K Desktop Environment. Ubuntu will speak of different flavors for different DE (Ubuntu for Gnome, Kubuntu for KDE, Lubuntu for LXDE). But Lubuntu (L for lightweight) is said to be a distro based on the DE LXDE.

The following quote from Reddit seems right to me:

" A distro is basically the kernel, administrative tools and package manager, on top of that a display server/protocol (it can be wayland or Xorg nowadays).
