I'd like to compose a list of plugins that we know for sure work with my script (https://github.com/sirsipe/yabridge-setup), as it seems to keep gaining popularity. My script creates an isolated wine-staging-9.21 environment, with dxvk patch added by default, as that combination seems to work for most plugins. My script is especially aimed for newcomers, works only on Ubuntu/Debian based systems, and also adds few quality-of-life helpers like wine version selector when launching an arbitrary executable.

It's not perfect, but the aim of the script is to make transition from Windows to Linux as smooth as possible, and people tend to want keep using things they have already bought (at least until they discover better native options).

Here's the list:

So, I need YOUR help: What Windows plugins are you using successfully with wine-staging-9.21?

Just comment here:

Plugin/App: xxx

Version: xxx or ???

DAW: xxx

Patches: e.g. dxvk

Notes:

OS:

Verified By:

If you don't know version / patches, then just put ???. If you don't want your name/username published, then just leave the verified by empty. I'll put something generic like "r/linuxaudio".

PS. I'm aware of the upcoming yabridge version (currently only available as a build) that solves some of the issues that originally locked users for wine-staging-9.21. Unfortunately I've also discovered that the new wine version comes with a set of completely new issues, which is why I decided to continue supporting my script.

NeuralDSP's amp sims such as Archtype: John Mayer X require iLok's PACE License Support to work. Unfortunately, automatic (and manual) installation of that fails with generic error when using Wine 10+, effectively preventing use of the plugin.

I was able to track down the cause, and it seems to be simply few failing installer prerequisites. So, I wrote a script that captures the msi package during first install attempt, overrides few specific prerequisite related conditions, repackages the msi and installs it.

I did my work against Wine 11 (stable) and it seems the same trick does not work for Wine 10.

But, yes, NeuralDSP is now perfectly usable with Wine 11, using my installer patching. Also "winetricks dxvk" needs to be applied for the used wineprefix, so the plugin's GUI is responsive.

I've done only minimal testing, so I'd be very happy if others could test and verify my solution works for them, too.
