Hi hi, I can't seem to find any info on this, can you point me in the right direction? Sometimes my wine prefix partially breaks and I need to start a fresh one but I don't want to reinstall things that are working fine in the original.
Is there some trick to combining wine prefixes? If I have plugins installed across multiple prefixes, is it enough to just point Reaper to the respective install locations? Or is it just not a good idea? Also how do I know or choose which prefix I'm using if I run an installer? I feel like I should know this, but I guess I'm not searching with the right terms.

Run: Code:
yabridgectl list Code:
yabridgectl add <path> EDIT: For knowing which wine prefix is which, if you just run the installer, it will default to ~/.wine but if you want to target a specific prefix use: Code:
WINEPREFIX=<path> wine <installer> Code:
WINEPREFIX=~/.winevalhalla wine Setup\ Valhalla\ Room\ v1.6.2.2.exe

Thanks Beth I think I got it now. I was confused because I had iLok plugins in both prefixes. I needed to also install the authorization app in both and authorize them on the same prefix they were installed to.
I ended up using Bottles because it's easier than typing in the paths each time.

I wonder if there is a way to alway force a hard disk to be on standby. I have this old poorly designed laptop that has an internal extra spinning hard drive that gets too hot. I don't need to use it while using REAPER so I spin it down with hdparm but after a while, the disk starts spinning again. I've tried unmounting the partition too but it keeps waking up.
I hope I don't have to end doing a script or something to constantly monitor the drive status. |

Thanks!
I want to report a success story, as this guide finally fixed a large chunk of my problems.
Manjaro + pipewire really works well! I would still be dealing with BSODs on Windows if it weren't for this guide. I haven't had any xruns either with this pipewire-exclusive configuration, and I love not having to touch jack/jack2 or carla. qpwgraph works just fine. The one thing I haven't quite figured out yet is how to set up my other two monitors for quad-channel audio; currently, pipewire doesn't route to the channels correctly. I only found this article, but still trying to understand whether these steps really apply to me: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipew...rtual-surround |

Sorry, I've only ever needed stereo output either via speakers or headphones so I probably can't help you there.

Just an FYI that covers both my Manjaro and Ubuntu pro audio guides: I'm moving to a quarterly update¹ of the guides because I simply don't have the time day-to-day any more to dedicate to much of anything beyond family and job (hopefully maintaining that order!). I've scheduled a week prior to each quarter release to chip away in the evenings at these and my ReaClassical project. So expect the next updates to be October 15th.
Do feel free to add any suggested changes as a pull request or start a discussion via raising an issue. Feel free to continue discussion here too... 10/08/22: Added reference to Chow plugins (thanks bukbukXiu!) 16/08/22: Added ElephantDSP Room Reverb to plugins list (available via AUR too) ------------ ¹https://libreav.org/article/quarterly-release-pact

Small update: tightened up wine-tkg section and included reference to CLAP plugins. Fixed section numbering.

I imagine we'll hear eventually what's going on, but I'm guessing it could be something like "Beth Harmon" running afoul of Netflix's lawyers for using the Beth Harmon name, or maybe there was some other reason to change the name here and in the Github repository. I'm hoping it wasn't a tiff with the Reaper developers leading to the removal of all the great tools, advice, and resources that Beth Harmon has developed for Reaper. We'll find out eventually. |

The user jnorman34 has written a brief message in the ReaClassical thread (https://forum.cockos.com/showthread....08#post2623508) with some clues about Beth. I have already offered myself to reconstruct the guides here in the forum (both for my own use and the continuity of such an invaluable resource).
Let's hope we'll have some news soon... Last edited by Soli Deo Gloria; 12-14-2022 at 01:31 PM. |

Thanks soo much, Dom64, as I said in the other thread! I have already asked Schwa if he can put the link in the first post, so everything continues and we can go on with this topic here. Beth's absence will be felt, of course, but it's great that the resources are available...

Yes, it's definitely strange, and I just downloaded a local offline copy of both guides too, just in case...

I added a small section at the end about checking volume levels post-setup (using alsamixer). Note that if you enable your interface through your desktop environment's audio controls (even if temporarily) it can default to low output volume which also subsequently affects the volume put out in REAPER. I discovered this when my headphone volume knob on the 204HD needed to be turned almost to full to get a decent level FWIW, I always normally disable my 204HD as a device in Plasma so there's only ever one device putting out desktop sound.
Not sure whether it is a pipewire quirk or affects pulseaudio too. Anyway, always good to do a final check given sound is what it's all about! This from the Pipewire Arch documentation: EDIT: Turns out that if I unplug and plug back in, the volume level returns to 41 in alsamixer. I assume that would also be the case every time I restart the PC too. Solution seems to be to keep it enabled in plasma's/pipewire's audio volume controls.

Thanks a lot for the guide, chmaha!
Can you tell me why it's beneficial to enable the "JACK D-Bus interface"? Also, what is the difference between that option and the "Enable D-Bus interface" option? |

I'm a little fuzzy on this since I've been using pipewire for quite a while but I believe it allows for bridging between JACK and pulseaudio...basically what we had to do before Pipewire made it all very simple. Hence checking the "JACK" D-Bus interface option vs the other one.

Updates to distros that affect guide?
Just checking in to ask if any recent Arch-based distro updates have rendered any part of the pipewire instructions moot for new installs? I'm downloading latest Manjaro ISO to test myself but any community feedback would be great.

As far as I can tell, Manjaro ISOs still ship with pulseaudio and not pipewire so the instructions for installing pipewire seem to still be valid. For other Arch-based, I'm not sure other than it is possible to set up pipewire from the start using pure Arch's archinstall and for any pure-Arch-based distro follow the Arch documentation here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeWire#Audio

I tried your pipewire-instructions last week on a fresh Manjaro Gnome install and they were required to get pipewire installed.
However, current pipewire is still considerably worse in terms of stability with RME PCIe cards (tried both snd_hdspm and snd_hdspe) so I'd recommend sticking to JACK2 to those users for the time being. Had a chat with people at the PW IRC and the consensus there was that "old-school ALSA drivers" don't play well with pipewire, which sadly seems to be the case with snd_hdsp*. |

Endeavour OS comes with Pipewire by default. Steps 3 and 5 are still necessary for the low memory situation.

Ah, just saw your edit. Well, I was wondering what the actual DBus options do in Qjackctl since your guide makes ticking one of them mandatory. But on my side, a pulseaudio sink into JACK2 seems to work fine without any of these options selected.

I seem to remember that with jack2-dbus and that option ticked in Qjackctl you wouldn't need to bother with any post-start commands as it is all automatic.

Just in case someone wants to create a multichannel PulseAudio sink instead, here's a qjackctl post-launch-script for a 5.1 output to get you started: Code:
pacmd load-module module-jack-source channels=1; pacmd load-module module-jack-sink channels=6 sink_name=sinkname client_name=sinkname channel_map=front-left,front-right,front-center,lfe,rear-left,rear-right; pacmd 'update-sink-proplist sinkname device.description="Sink Name shown in GUIs" ' Code:
enable-remixing = no |

In other news, I've added a cheeky reference in the document to my own growing JSFX airwindows ports collection. While many are indeed just ports, there are a good number that are modified in some way or conveniently rolled together into a single plugin in a way not found in the airwindows universe.

New Arch guide and archiving of Manjaro guide
I've created (well, cloned) a new repository focused on Arch (and Arch-based distros):
https://github.com/chmaha/ArchProAudio The difference is that this will focus on vanilla Arch and other vanilla Arch-based distros such as EndeavourOS, ArchCraft etc. I'm archiving (rather than deleting or renaming) the Manjaro one as I haven't used Manjaro in quite a while but recognize that it might still be useful for folks in the medium term. I simply don't have the time to keep track of Manjaro repositories/packaging decisions and updates to the ISOs. The same goes for the Ubuntu guide. In any case, most of the tweaking commands will be identical but this new guide will have way more chance of keeping up-to-date given Arch is my daily driver.

It sounds reasonable, of course! Thanks for all, Chmaha. Being definitely on Manjaro, I'll keep an eye on the updates for the Arch guide.
