I dont have a clue what i'm doing with Linux and all I want to do is install wineasio so I can run FL Studio without latency and it shouldnt be this hard to do but I have been trying for days and its making me question my existence

If someone could please just give me a step by step instruction or something I would really appreciate it, Im not experienced with any type of linux, I switched to it from windows and i didnt really know what i was getting myself into. I made that mistake and that was completely my fault but i dont deserve this. Its cruel. Please help me. Thank you

what's fl studio?

you know that wineasio won't run without wine?

adding jackaudio to that? sounds messy, and not at all recommendable, not even for experienced users.

and definitely not a recipe to achieve "without latency" (zero latency is a myth anyway).

are you sure you know what you want? maybe there's different ways.

FL Studio is a music making DAW program. The program itself i have up and running through wine. I have wine installed but I cant figure out how to setup wineasio/jack. That seems to be my only option as far as audio outputs go. And i know i cant have "no" latency i shoulda said low latency. I have qjackctl installed but i dont know how to connect it. All im really looking for is a low latency audio driver compatible with my soundcard (M Audio Audiophile 2496) I tried ubuntustudio and kxstudio because i read that they come with audio production software but no luck. Im so sick of installing/reinstalling stuff. i just wanna play my damn piano without an hour delay between pressing a key and hearing the sound

Well..what do you know.Something I know something about.
Heres how you get it setup.Never used FLStudio but I use to setup wine to run Reaper to use as a vst host for drumsamplers and synths.

First download wine source code and patch it with rt patch.

The go to Steinbergs web site and sign up as a developer so you can download ASIO sdk. You will need that to compile Wineasio.

After you have both wine and wine asio taken care of you should be able to open FLStudio and choose wineasio as driver then use jack to route it.
I advice to compile wine with RT patch as It makes a lot of difference.I use Debian and its not hard to compile Wine with RT patch,just time consuming.I think some of the audio distros already have a rt patched wine.Dont know which off hand.

This is a guide for Reaper but same applies for FLStudio.

Also make sure you have jack setup for realtime . If it didnt add realtime to security limits you need to do that.Once again guide from jack audio how to do that.

Also I never heard of LuninuxOS but see its based on Ubuntu.
You could try adding KXStudio repo's to your source list and get wine rt and wine asio from them.
I dont know how far away from Ubuntu your distro is.Dont know If adding their repo's would cause conflicts.

EDIT:REad your 2nd post.Your doing something wrong then If you cant get it working in Ubuntu studio or KXstudio.All you should have to do in those 2 distros Is launch FLstudio go into settings and choose wineasio as driver.Those 2 distros do have wine asio.Kxstudio has a RT patched wine.Im pretty sure by default they are installed.if not look in the package manager for wineasio. No offence.its not the distros its error on your part somewhere.Are you sure you went into Qjackctl and adjusted settings??

As a matter fact I just added Kxstudio repo's to my Debian and it took me about 10-15 minutes to install wine rt and wine asio then wentt o Reapers site and downloaded to give it a try.Works fine after you register wineasio.dll.Cant post screenshots here but heres link to photpbucket to show you how it woulg look like in QjackQTL

Hi. Could also try it in PlayOnLinux (front for WINE) and even with Q4WINE which I normally combine with PlayOnLinux from /home/...
Although: LMMS, Hydrogen, Rose-Garden, seq24, QTractor, MUSE, energyXT, etc,,, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...audio_software
best wishes and have fun.
