I also think the time is right. Nearly every Linux distro switched to Pipewire and that audio system is absolutely insane. The times of Pulse Audio and JACK are finally over. With the right configuration and realtime-scheduling I run my Arturia Minifuse 1 at 32 samples buffer and 32 samples ALSA headroom in Reaper on CachyOS, 1ms output latency, no crackles, no buffer underruns, just stable as a rock, 50 tracks, 100 plugins. Those are numbers Windows is still dreaming about to this day.

There are a lot of extremely good native plugins for Linux either as LV2 or VST3. ToneBoosters and Kazrog are two companies that understood there is a demand. I download the packages, copy the .vst3 files into the correct folder and they just run like butter. No fiddling with Yabridge.

The last thing that i really need to completely switch my entire studio to Linux is Superior Drummer 3. I really really really hope that the shift towards gaming on Linux finally has an impact on audio and video, too. Valve did a phenomenal job with the Steam Deck and proved it can be done. The numbers of Linux users go up and up and up. The good thing is, Microsoft is helping wherever they can by turning Windows into an absolute AI shitshow. I quite like it how they are unintentionally the best advertisement for Linux right now.

So… here is my “PRETTY PLEASE!!!????” towards the Toontrack family 😀

@Henrik Thanks for taking the request.

I totally understand the reason behind the fancy new 3D view since I am a software dev myself and you got to step up the game visually with a new product, but…. I would totally opt out for a basic streamlined 2D UI where I could position the parts accordingly. I even go that far: If every instrument was a 30px red dot with a label in the 2D UI that I can position in the canvas would suit my needs.

Hah, Now a simple idea comes to my mind:

Take a look at your last screenshot with the cowbell. If you could make those added instruments (the square with the cowbell in it) dragable…. actually that would work, too. It’s just about the position on the screen vs the position in the real world.

Unfortunately all this is a “fancy UI killed a useful feature”-thing for me. I have two TD-12 modules fully loaded with triggers and the SD2 UI helped me greatly to find my stuff.

Ah right, I would need to run it twice for elevated and non-elevated tasks…

In this case EnableLinkedConnections seems to be the best solution. I’m gonna try that.

Thanks for your help!

Thans for the links Olof.

In case I interpret it correctly, mapping the network drives in an elevated environment (cmd or elevated task) should do the trick.

Currently I mount all drives via a batch file in a Windows task at login. I could try to set this task as elevated.
