Hi Ronan, Thanks for the fast reply! I've tried the native apps you mention. "Calf plugins" have a nice modulation tools that I'll be using, Scooperlooper will come in handy indeed and as for Rakarrack, although it seems promising, lacks of a good amp and overdrive/distortion emulator, and this functionality is critical for the work I intent to do. The ideal thing would be using my real amp and stomp boxes, but I live in a small place and I know I will disturb the neighbours.
I would love to be using pure libre/open source software and hope one day Rakarrack becomes a great emulator, but in the mean time, Guitar Rig is the only one that gets close (and works in linux)to the tone of my real set-up. If anybody else know of any other open source emulator I can try please let me know. Anyway, I apologize for not providing further details. Here they are: 0. Kernel: 2.6.35-23-generic 1. Jack starts and run without interruptions (I've being testing it for some days) 2. All native apps I've tried work smoothly (Ardour, Rakarrack, calf plugin, Jack rack, Hydrogen, etc ) 3. Never heard of Reaper. Just went to the website and installed the 32 bit version (tried 64 bit version but didn't work). In the "Audio device" window I chose "ASIO" as my Audio device and then "Wine ASIO Driver" in the next drop box. The drop boxes "Enable input" and "Output range" are empty and when pressing the button "ASIO Configuration..." nothing happens. When done, I got an error window: "Error initializing ASIO driver" :( I have downgraded Wine to the default version (1.2) to narrow down the possibilities and still using wineasio-beta_0.9.0~beta0_64bit.deb found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kxstudio/files/DEBs/. Reaper was installed over Wine 1.2. BTW, to installed wineasio, I extracted the DEB file and copy "wineasio.dll" to /lib32/wine/. then I run "regsvr32 wineasio.dll" sucessfully and finally installed Reaper. Did it this way because I read in a forum that the DEB was compiled using Ubuntu lucid not maverik, so this method was suggested. I'll try to get into the IRC channel.

You're asking for help on a complicated steam machine and we don't know if each piece works independently, let alone the assembly. To help you we need more background on your setup: 0. Which kernel are you using? (use "uname -r") 1. Does JACK start successfully? (can it run without interruption?) 2. Do native JACK apps work? (can you work on Ardour, Rakarrack, etc.) 3. *Does REAPER work?* (it should, REAPER supports WINE admirably). To me, having confirmation of this last point would be very meaningful since it would mean we are sure you have a sane wineasio setup. We'll see about GR afterwards. Finally, have you considered using native apps? I don't know your use case but as a guitarist you should at least have a look at {Rakarrack, Sooperlooper, JACK Timemachine, Calf plugins (and many others)}. WINE apps are never a good idea; even if you get GR running tomorrow, you _will_ end up unhappy (to be polite) someday. Which killer feature are you missing? Tell us about your progress; if you need direct help, feel free to ask #ubuntustudio on Freenode. Cheers, Ronan Jouchet
