Hi there, Wants & Wishes are better served in the General Discussion forum for better visibility, so we're retiring this subforum. All posts will be migrated to General Discussion!
So I have a studio at my record label office but sometimes I can't make it to the office. The studio uses Windows 10. But my laptop OS is Ubuntu and it would be great if I can use my UAD with Linux to do some mixing and mastering at home. Im using Reaper and Ardour, so it would be great to be able to use the UAD plugins and console software at home.
I just that I would share my opinion about this, thanks.
With respect, I get why you want it, but I do not want to see Linux support.
At least until UA has MIDI support in Console.
Frankly, UA has enough on its plate at this point. In the last six months, UA has released Ox Box, Arrow and Live Rack. Ox Box and Live Rack required brand new software development. With such complex product, that development takes a lot of time.
Look at Live Rack. The hardware is so similar to the original version that they didn't even remove the 1394B ports on the back. Yet the new version has been years in development.
I love many of the new plugins developed for Apollo. But Console 2 has obvious flaws and is getting quite long in the tooth. Of course UA is doing minor upgrades and bug fixes and also developing the next version of this software. Personally, I wish UA would concentrate as much of its software development resources on a new Console 3 as is possible. Leave Linux support for later.

I use a Dell Canvas for a controller and I have 2 of the totem knobs. There is nothing like it to be honest. If its available on MacOS, its not too far away from linux. They are both Unix based.
Just wanted to say i successfully ran the OX app to control the OX Top Box on linux under wine-4.21 with staging patches (i think ther are probably no needed or dont matter).

Yes, true... but this is politics and money in it.... Apple colaborates with UAD making things easier for Apple users and makes an uphill for Windows users. Today I had hard time to install UAD Apollo Twin USB on Windows 7. all drivers were not certified, and had some crashes, on the Windows 10 it came smoother.... but no option in UAD console for I/O matrix virtual channels from Windows directly.
Anyway I have Ubuntu Studio Linux also, and I think there could be a way to combine UAD via WINE to Jack/Alsa driver... I have my Profire 610 working via firewire on Ubuntu Studio, I think if you have UAD on firewire connection it could work via FFADO host in Linux.
Universal Audio has no business to support linux because it is free.. Apple pays UAD to support OS only ...the more users on linux and windows... the less on apple... it is not a good business for them so let`s give a hard time for these users.
with steinberg having released a proper VST sdk for linux, the number devs is starting to grow, Bitwig, u-he and audio damage all release proper audio software for linux... to name a few..
Have any of you thought about using the UAD-2 Live Rack via an RME MADI interface?

Moved to Linux several days ago (from windows) for programming and trying music production. it was even surprising for me that no drivers are needed for the audio interface.
You need a Mac running 10.11 (from what I recall) to be able to control/load plug-ins, so that won't work (and not 10.11 or later...it's got to be a particular OS version for it to work). Also the Live Rack is no longer produced, supported, or will get any more updates, so unless you want to hack a ton...
As much as I know UA isn't going to do this (just look at their Windows Support - equal to horrid vs. Mac, but never better - even though it's 50% of their market...just imagine how they'll treat less than 1% of their potential market...)
All of that said, I'll throw in my +1, even if it's just ALSA (open source) drivers with no DSP support.
+1 for linux support; I'm done with Apple and I'll never go back to Windows, so I'm exploring my Linux options. Everything was going great until I realized I owned two Apollo Twins (primary, backup) and thus my journey came to a sudden halt. I am a working voice actor who needs things to work reliably, and unfortunately the crapintosh is no longer a reliable OS in many ways.
Tired of Apple and Microsoft (and Avid too) "impositions" I would really like to go back to Linux for my DAWs but unfortunately my Apollo audio interfaces and my UAD plugins doesn't work on Linux. Linux is a mature OS and there are excellent softwares for creating music at a professional level. UAD produces great hardware and great plugins, it would be great to be able to use them on Linux. Unfortunately, I fear that the problem is more political than technical...

Im not sure what you’re doing to crash a Mac, but my 2012 cheese grater gets used daily and stays running months at a time. My Mac mini (2020) has crashed exactly never.
