wineasio and cakewalk

angelo_maci · 04-12-2010, 05:55 AM

Hi
I am able to load and execute musical applications and plugins like reaper, samplelord, sfz, kore, but neither Sonar LE nor Project5 load. There is an underlying WindowsXP installation from where the program are "picked" by linux but Sonar and Project5 seem to be protected from executing from linux (wineasio library installed).
Can someone help me on this?
thanks in advance

I don't believe that either Sonar LE or Project5 run in Wine on Linux. Are you trying to run those programs or just open their session files?

thanks for answering.
I try to execute Sonar and P5 the same way I do for the other applications that work (reaper for example): "execute with wine".
wineasio is necessary .
winecfg has configured it.

That's the thing, they will NOT run in Linux, because Wine does not support those two applications. Your options are to either dual boot with Windows, or run Windows XP virtually on top of Linux using a program like Virtualbox or VMware.

I just need to run Project5, more or less in the same fashion wineasio was supposed to handle it.
Now I'm downloading virtualbox but I do not know how to achieve my goal in practice.
Can you explain it?

The idea is to install Windows XP in Virtualbox, pretty easy, there are a lot of guides out there if you google for them. Then you install Project5 in your virtual XP. Strip down XP to as basic as you can get it so that performance isn't bad. You will probably need to experiment with the sound to get it working the way you want.
