Living Planet Symposium Extra News: Day 4
The fourth day of ESA’s Living Planet Symposium was busier than ever.
Today, ESA signed an agreement on integrating satellite data into global environmental reporting frameworks as part of ESA’s Fundamental Data Records Framework. A contract with the Finnish government and the Finnish Meteorological Institute was signed to establish a calibration and validation ‘supersite’. ESA and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures paved the way to integrating satellite data into environmental reporting frameworks. And the New Space Scout missions were also in the spotlight as ESA signed a contract with ISISPACE to development of the Tango mission. Four new Scout mission concepts were also announced.

in reply to golden_zealot • • •As others mentioned in this thread, yabridge running in a native Linux DAW is a great setup. I personally use Reaper with yabridge, Serum, and a few other vsts here and there.
For others who are more knowledgeable than me: is there any reason (engineering-wise) why these plugins are made for Windows? Are there not cross platform and open source frameworks that let you compile audio plugins for Windows + Mac + Linux with minimal effort?
I genuinely don't know anything about audio programming, I'm just curious.

VST is a proprietary format therefore it is made to not work on linux.
On linux synth or virtual instruments are LV2 plugins (like Helm, Surge or Vitalium) or SF2/SFZ soundbank (played with Sfizz or Fluid Synth).
Now Ardour, Bitwig and Reaper can load VST plugins, but :
- Some won't just work,
- Some will work pretty much the same (Kontakt seems to be working for some person, but it depends on the version I think),
BUT if the VSTs needs to be installed before hand (like Kontakt, Spitfire, SINE and I think Arturia V falls into that), you will have to install them first using Wine (or with a wine front-end, like Bottles, Heroic, Lutris). Then load them in your DAW, if they don't work there after being properly download and installed, I don't think there is anything much to do...
... Apart from try using a bridge (like Lin-VST or Yabridge), but here against results are still very unpredictable. I got some pretty good results with both on the past, but on my new setup none would work for my plugins (Spitfires mostly).
These companies won't make their plugins available under Linux cause 'there isn't enough people using it on linux' (words of someone at Spitfire who I was asking the question).
My workflow for production in a few words :
- One PC (recording, mixing, mastering) with a midi keyboard,
- One PC virtual instruments only, I use it when project requires lot of instrument tracks.
Edit : Yeah Carla can be used as well, it can load VST plugins and act like a plugin library (pretty much like Kontakt).
