I have trouble setting up the LV2 search path under Options / Plugins. Specifically, I have a directory ~/Music/Qtractor/lv2 which contains a single bundle faust.lv2 with all my Faust LV2 plugins. Those work fine when I install them in the system directories which are on the default path, or if I change LV2_PATH to point to /home/ag/Music/Qtractor/lv2. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to make Qtractor recognize these plugins when I add the path /home/ag/Music/Qtractor/lv2 path under Options / Plugins. I select the proper plugin type (LV2) in that dialog, select the directory and push the Add button so that in the dialog all looks fine, close the dialog and restart Qtractor. The directory is still right there in the dialog, but it doesn't seem to be used by Qtractor at all, as I see none of the plugins in that directory when I try to add a plugin to a track. I tried with both Qtractor 0.4.8 and the current svn revision. I also tried to enter the parent directory /home/ag/Music/Qtractor and even the bundle directory itself, all to no avail. Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong? Here's how the relevant section from my Qtractor config file looks like: [Plugins] LadspaPaths=@Invalid() DssiPaths=@Invalid() VstPaths=/home/ag/src/vst/TAL-Plugins_LinuxVST-64bit_20111210 Lv2Paths=/home/ag/Music/Qtractor/lv2 AudioOutputBus=false AudioOutputAutoConnect=true DummyVstScan=true Any help appreciated!

NB: I'm currently doing Qtractor in a course with German students, so that translation would be very welcome. :) You'd get some extra eyeballs to debug the translation, too. The course only lasts another three weeks, though. -- Dr. Albert Gr"af Dept. of Music-Informatics, University of Mainz, Germany Email: Dr....@t-..., ag...@mu...

The course only lasts another three > weeks, though. I'm sorry, I still stuck at the first 100 of 2000 items ;). Since I won an iPad, I hope to get Qt Linguist run on it, perhaps on a Win emulation. I hope Win Qt and Linux Qt are compatible. If it should work, then the translation could be done soon, when waiting at the bus stop etc. ;). Currently the iPod isn't configured, since I tried wine 64 and 32 bit with iTunes 9 and 10, but it didn't run. I now will test VirtualBox and I'm still waiting for a friend who will give me an USB Wi-Fi. Apple sucks! Doing Qtractor with the students is a good choice. Cheers, Ralf |

Never mind, there will be another chance next semester I guess, or at least in the next winter semester. > Apple sucks! Yeah, their locked-down walled-garden approach is what kept me from buying one of those thingies so far. But I guess that I'll just have to bite the bullet, if only for the OSC software that's available on iOS only. I'd rather buy a good Android tablet, but from what I hear the iOS devices are much better for doing realtime stuff right now. > Doing Qtractor with the students is a good choice. It is. What I like about Rui's applications is that they get the job done with a minimal amount of fuzz. Ardour3 is coming along nicely as well, but it's a complex program, something you can easily spend an entire semester on. Also, it's not stable enough yet and the initial rendering of the piano roll display is slow like molasses in January. ;-) -- Dr. Albert Gr"af Dept. of Music-Informatics, University of Mainz, Germany Email: Dr....@t-..., ag...@mu...

Yes, IIRC I experienced this for older versions of Qtractor too and IIRC only setting the path variable did work. Haven't tried with current Qtractor. In other words, AFAIK it's an old bug. |
