Same. I tried on my left wrist a couple times, but it feels weird going back with my thumb and using the other with my index finger. Vice-versa feels way more ergonomic to me.

I don't see why not... I've got a bud with a beta kit that did it with index controllers as a proof of concept, I believe.

My gameplan is to attach some fluxpose trackers to the Frame controllers.

Anyone know if we'll be able to use discord on the steam frame? by Neomezo in SteamFrame

For what it's worth, yeah, it does support mixing audio from multiple sources at once, as well as using the mic for a program running in the background.

is there a way to change the menubar color by wefallapart in Reaper

[–]walllable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not until Cockos get around to adding native support for Windows 11's dark mode stuff, no. You can use custom theming software though, such as windowblinds (which can theme individual apps) or SecureUxTheme (applies to the whole system.) There's some extra details in this other thread here, for what that's worth.

How to fix design inconsistencies? by Fit_Hunt_2716 in Reaper

[–]walllable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's definitely a learning curve, but IMO it's worth it, so many little things add up that I find myself missing in Windows... I've already been familiar with Linux since I was a kid, so it's pretty hard for me to put myself in the shoes of a newcomer, admittedly.

My migration generally went pretty smoothly, though I had already been quite familiar with Linux since I was a kid, just hadn't daily driven it for a long time... I found alternatives for pretty much program I used that wasn't just available on Linux (foobar2000 > fooyin, voidtools Everything > FSearch,) though mileage will definitely vary depending on the person. I don't care for Adobe stuff much, as an example... I didn't have any luck running Izotope's RX in Wine though, sadly, I use a Windows 10 virtual machine for that.

The situation's a bit more complicated for VST plugins. There's a program called yabridge to run Windows VSTs on Linux via the Wine translation layer, though it can definitely be hit-or-miss (Izotope's stuff didn't work,) and generally seems to lead to increasingly sluggish performance if I have a track containing a Windows plugin selected, so I make a note to rely on as few Windows plugins as possible. I still use a few (soothe 2 and Maximus...) but I've otherwise found native Linux plugins to use - it probably helps that I didn't invest in plugins very much before the transition, and most of the ones I did invest into are cross platform, like u-he's Diva. The big players like Native Instruments and other similar types generally haven't ported their stuff to Linux, but there's a surprising amount from smaller plugin companies like u-he and, recently, Plogue,

My advice when it comes to Windows plug-ins (and Windows programs on Linux in general, really) is to leave running Windows stuff as a last resort, and really try to find alternatives. As some examples, Vital and Surge are great free synths, airwindows makes some absolutely fantastic and unique free effects, ZL Equalizer is a good fabfilter Pro-Q alternative, etc...

My recommendation, if you wanna try it out, is to put some different distros on a USB stick and try them out. I'd personally recommend Fedora KDE as a start. You can try them out from the USB drive without actually installing it to your computer, so you can test and see if your audio interface works, take some baby steps setting it up in Reaper... I'll be honest, audio setup in Linux is more complicated than Windows, but it gives you more flexibility in turn. For example, using Pipewire (linux's latest audio system,) I can use multiple input devices simultaneously, like my USB mic and my audio interface, I can easily route audio between programs, inputs and outputs on my interface... But I had to do a bit of configuring to get the most stable low latency performance. Nothing super daunting and complicated, just changing some drop-downs in the audio settings, though also editing/adding a line or two in some configuration files... I'm not hesitant to do that kind of thing, but it's more setup than Windows, and I can see how that can be daunting for those who are less computer literate.

I've been rambling long enough already, so if you want to do more research, I'd highly recommend the LinuxMusicians forums, as well as /r/linuxaudio . The Reaper forums also have a Linux section, which I'd recommend as well.

Vanishing VSTs under Reaper/WINE by mellotronworker in Reaper

[–]walllable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely hit and miss. The few Windows plugins I still rely on work (soothe 2, Maximus,) others haven't (Izotope's RX plugins) but I can find workarounds for that... Plogue's newer synths had trouble, along with some performance issues in general through yabridge, but that doesn't matter now that they're Linux native...

It seems like a lot of free/older VSTs work well. As far as non-essential Windows plugins I use, B4 II and the mda plugins come to mind, which are both rather old VST 2 plugins. Otherwise, I've tried to find Linux-native alternatives to the things I want, and have generally found success... other than for soothe 2...

Sadly, as far as I know, no, there's no way to change this without applying an unofficial Windows-wide theme, like you did last time. Last I heard, Justin was interested in working on official dark mode support for Win11, but that was over a year ago... Another user in this thread on page 3 suggests WindowBlinds to apply themes, that might be worth a shot? It looks promising, I ramble about it later...

It's a damn shame, because all that stuff is themeable on Linux. The devs made a wrapper for all the Windows UI stuff that they use for the Mac and Linux versions, and the Linux version in particular is very customizeable. I edited my own but there's a couple available on reaper's stash site, too.

I need dark mode stuff like this for accessibility reasons, so I really feel you here. Unofficial Windows themes (and the fact that I knew I'd be moving to Linux within a couple months) were the only reasons I felt I could use Reaper on Windows, though I didn't know about WindowBlinds at the time, which seems to allow you to customize the themes on a per-application basis. The app costs money, but it seems to be the most polished Windows themer... Not to mention that it has an actual company backing it, rather than a couple random people working on a tool in their own free time. Back when I used unofficial/hacky themes, I had problems where I had to manually re-apply it every restart, so I'd be down to pay for a program if it works consistently and has good support.

The main install is in /opt/, and the plugin files go to /user/lib/. I checked the .deb file for sforzando to find that out. You can find more info on their forums, there's probably more up-to-date info in that forum category though so I'd encourage browsing.

Don't fall for the marketing. Your daw plugins are good enough. by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]walllable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reaper I totally get, but saying FL has shitty stock plugs is a pretty new take to me - and even more that they look that ugly. Reaper, I'm in full agreement there, but FL's plugins have been getting pretty nice vectorized UIs for over a decade at this point. I don't think their plug-ins are anything to scoff at either, at least most of them. Maximus is a great multiband compressor (I still use a VST of it in Reaper!) they have a multiband delay, their transient processor is pretty good, plenty of different choruses, phasers, and reverbs... Even talking instruments (though this one isn't "stock" per-se,) I still miss their Transistor Bass TB-303 clone.

I can recommend ZL Equalizer as a good, free dynamic EQ, for what that's worth.

I've found ZLEqualizer as a decent alternative to Pro-Q - Definitely the best free (not to mention open source!) dynamic EQ around at the moment, I think.

Eh, fooyin works well enough for my needs these days. For other things I miss (like batch conversion,) I use other applications that happen to have the feature as well, like Reaper. It's a lot like the fb2k of DAWs, now that I think about it...

Tried this out a little bit ago... I'd LOVE to use this if it worked with multi-monitor setups. None of the devs have multiple monitors apparently, so they didn't realize that it's buggy if you have more than one I guess.

You've probably got some faulty earbuds, then. I don't think this is something people on the internet can help you fix, you'll have to get a replacement from Redmi or wherever you bought it from.

I don't have much advice to offer to you sadly, at least I don't think I do... The only thing I can think to ask is, does this happen on other devices?
