Comments on: HOWTO: REAPER on Ubuntu Linux with wineasio (updated)

Thank you for the guide. I have finally managed to get it working after much tweaking – I tired about a year ago without success. The main obstacle was getting the Steinberg SDK – despite registering multiple times the site would never let me log in which seemed to be because of a UK address – you might want to relocate to Germany if you have the same problem I am running a 64bit box in ubuntustudio 64 karmic 2.6.31-9-rt. Other problems included using wine 1.2 development which gave errors but when I switched back to wine 1.0.1 compiling went without a hitch. Another issue is where to put the generated wineasio.dll.so file – make install puts it in usr/lib which is probably fine for 32bit setup but will mean that register ing the wineasio.dll doesnt work. Moving the dll to lib32/wine fixes this. One other thing I had to do was in wine config was under the libraries tab was to specify the wineasio from the drop down list. Also selecting the ALSA from audio rather than JACK.

Serge, above me, is right. In winecfg, make sure ALSA and JACK are enabled, and you should be good.
After a few false starts, this worked for me.

Linux Mint 8 (Helena) & Ableton Live 8.1 were my test subjects.

I had a small error in JACK that was related to having the Real Time checkbox checked. JACK would start and then stop with an error almost immediately. Here’s the message window output, in case anyone is seeing something similar:

cannot use real-time scheduling (FIFO at priority 10) [for thread -1216877808, from thread -1216877808] (1: Operation not permitted)
cannot create engine
22:13:10.615 JACK was stopped successfully.
22:13:10.616 Post-shutdown script…
22:13:10.616 killall jackd
jackd: no process found
22:13:11.038 Post-shutdown script terminated with exit status=256.
22:13:12.606 Could not connect to JACK server as client. – Overall operation failed. – Unable to connect to server. Please check the messages window for more info.

—–

Obviously, unticking the checkbox made things work fine

So next step is VST testing. I’ll let you know what works for me and doesn’t, in case people stumble across this blog while googling (like I did!).

Thanks so much for this guide, Dave. You’ve inspired me to add a blog to my virtually unused webhosting, where I’ll write my own (up to date) version of this guide, among other random crap.

I’m a total Linux noob but after a few hours managed to get Reaper installed and running thanks to this guide. However, now when I try to start Reaper, the minimized window with “Starting Reaper” shows up, nothing else happens, and then that disappears. Not sure what the problem is.

folks there’s some misconception here, no need to put jack on in winecfg, you can use alsa (For midi) and use wineasio driver inside the host, wineasio will use jack still, but wine will tell the application that there’s also midi inputs and outputs.

Alfons, the easiest thing would be to just drop the .dll files into REAPER’s plugins folder (it’s ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/REAPER/Plugins/FX on my system). If it’s a plugin that requires activation or a serial number or something like that, you might have to actually run the installer in wine under Ubuntu.

Dear mr Hayes,

your how to was very clear, I used Linreaper for a while, but that stopped working correctly. Your how to made it possible to do it manually, step by step. Thanks!

I have one question though. It seems impossible to run VST instruments, as I keep trying to point Reaper to their spot, only one or two shop up. How can I install VST instruments so they are seen by Reaper? All instruments I installed, have been working perfectly for me on previous installs of Hardy..

Thanks for your time,

Alfons

Thank you SO MUCH for writing this. Ive been bashing my head against a wall trying to get something on my computer with low enough latency to play guitar through, and this tutorial helped me achieve just that. rock on my friend

Thank you so much, Dave. I’m currently listening to a 35-track project on Jaunty + Reaper 3.11 + M-audio Delta 66 soundcard. Can’t say how cool is it.

BTW I found a quicker way to install WineASIO:

Hey everyone,

I’m a linux newbie and have been trying to figure this out for days. Every time I run the [make] command i get an error, summing it up to be “make: *** [asio.o] Error 1″
I am still trying to figure out why it isn’t working, and my dad wanted to me figure it out on my own (honestly i don’t know if he can do it either ) but I REALLY need this to work. I am running 8.04 on a 64bit AMD

just in case, i’ll post the rest of the error:

Thank you for your brilliant guide, I’ve got it running on the Dell Mini 9 using Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix with the Ubuntu Studio additions – The latency (or lack of it) is excellent and I’m happily running Audiomulch with the ASIO drivers now. Sweet.
