Sadly, the Linux desktop still has a long way to go to reach broad commercial acceptance. What's really crazy is that it could be done. Look at what Apple did when it redesigned Mac OSX based on Unix/FreeBSD. So Mac is really a desktop environment for a Unix OS (I realize that oversimplifies things a bit, but just for the sake of discussion and to save space ).

budget budget budget... oh how i laughed when macs switched to intel porcessros, and then to some hack-of-linux as an os...

dunno flatpak but the distro/desktop thing makes sense, although it does imply that using windows avoids that issue! (win version, ,net version, etc etc etc)

Hi again @Chuck E Baby 

I had a look at this. It wasn't enable for some reason. Not sure if it made a big difference.

On the help page it shows this image:-

Not sure what this means to be honest. Taking the image at face value it seems to suggest that if you have an FX bin with 8 effects, as show, they are distributed across the CPU cores, as show.

But what if each of your FX bins only has 1, 2 or 3 effects in them. Does that mean that they are only distributed across cores 1, 2, 3?

Or does it distribute effects across all the FX bins to each of the core. For example, say track 1 has 3 effects in the FX bin, track 2 has 3 effects in the track bin, will those effects be distributed across cores 1 to 6 in turn? Not sure if I put that across correctly.

I wonder if this is something that @Noel Borthwick could shed some light on, assuming no one else can?

 

cheers

iirc before the load balancing feature, a single audio track would be processed on a single core, so all plugs on that track would also be processed on that core... the lb allows better distribution (in the diagram) but there are a couple of exceptions, like the master bus, and the gui...

you need to change the file association in chrome, lots of how-tos out there, e.g., https://www.google.co.uk/search?ei=F91aXLecL8z5wALe-bDoAQ&q=chrome+application+to+use+for+opening+files&oq=chrome+application+to+use+for+opening+files&gs_l=psy-ab.3..33i22i29i30.1724.11767..12231...0.0..1.139.3276.39j4......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i67j0j0i10j0i22i30j33i21j33i160j33i10.4ajvpdTpDRY

Regarding commercial (i.e. not free) software for Linux, I wonder if this is more likely due to lack of users, or lack of commercial developers? Chicken or egg thing?

could also be an open source culture thing

oh, they switched back https://fossbytes.com/brazil-replacing-open-source-software-microsofts-software/

yeah i had ubuntu, kino(?) was also a decent video editor

some 10(?) years ago brazil (the country) switched all its government systems to linux/open source and saved enough money to cover its health service every year (iirc)

I can't start a topic in the FAQ forum so here are some suggestions for FAQ items (these are the questions i currently see being asked repeatedly):

• demo mode
• offline documentation
• clean uninstall/reinstall
• tutorials/utilities

what do you think? please add your own, maybe some mods might start utilising the FAQ forum

Yeah, I'm not saying this is a workable option right now.

I also looked at Linux a couple of years ago and, for the same reasons as you, I never bothered. I check about every year or so, see how things are going on the DAW side...

it was fine for the officey internetty stuff but rubbish for leisure activities

In order for a profit product to remain successful, it must sell itself again and again every year. Feature after feature is added and when there is nothing left for the users to upgrade the next year (to keep the cash flowing) the company has to add things people don't really need, perhaps don't want, and affecting the stability of the program.

depends of you're trying to sell it as upgrades to existing users (lazy) or the whole shebang to new users (harder but doesn't require endless new half-baked features)

(fwiw/imo, of course)

I need DirectX support for 3rd party editors like Adobe Audition which we rely on heavily in the broadcast world for meta data.

curious about this - you're using dx fx or something?

Apologies if it has been asked already, but why is it not possible to block the signature  when the user is  a moderator?  

dunno, but does "hide all signatures" not affect mods sigs?

The more you nag, the more Beepster I become.

speaking of whom, what's happened to beepster?

thanks mike, that's the clearest summary of the whole ownership/rights thing right there

do you have an external midi device connected that might be sending errant messages?

not enough users were willing to pay for it

Tech support recommended  a few reg edits to completely remove CbB, uninstalling and then reinstalling CbB which I did. Unfortunately this did not fix the problems I am having. In fact things seemed to get worse.

that's rather a generic "Have You Tried Turning It Off And On Again?" "solution"
