This is being offered gratis till the end of december
by Mackie. This one
might just be coaxed into running under Wine which would be
quite an
achievement.
Kudos: 1. The program, though free, needs be registered
to a "machine
number". Did this under Windows, did not get that far using
Wine. Might need
a second copy just for the Linux runs.
2. The program searches for all its own VST dlls and
any on the VST
directory. Might have problems doing this in Wine. Some VST demos
bring up an
error box saying please register, limited trial, etc. Such things may be
disruptive in Wine. (Other VST hosts let you manually find them when you want
them, avoiding this problem in most cases)
Anyway, the thing appeared to hang up but I was able to
get out. No crash, no
bebug offer. Clean.
The main problem is that any UI pop-up, i.e. to choose files, etc., does not
come up visibly. This is the apparent hangup. Alt-F4 dismisses the invisible
dialog box.
It audio output device is listed as "direct sound" (under Windows, the
card's
ASIO drivers would be listed).
But .. one would not get anywhere near this far with Sonar.

was able to do all this with only the latest version of wine - no

it scanned all the vst plugins in my vst directory (which is in my fake
windows drive) except for one steinberg grm tools one, which crashed it,
but on next boot, it said it had disabled it due to a problem :) all
the vst's that it successfully scanned are available from within an open
project - and all their gui's display correctly in tracktion ...

this is not a problem for me - all dialogue boxes work as expected. in
fact,
It audio output device is listed as "direct
sound" (under Windows, the card's

everything seems to work EXACTLY as required, except for a working sound
device ... i too get "directsound" listed in the audio setup, but no
sound devices are listed ... i might try messing with the sound settings
in winecfg to see if i can get a wine audio device listed ...
when i was using windows, i used tracktion quite a bit, and was really
impressed by its interface and usability - plus it's got an interesting
approach to layout/structure ...
anyone else want to test this as well, see if they can get it going?

I installed the latest wine and the dialog problems went away.
Yes. I'm at the same spot as you: working app, but no sound.
