[03:58] <JohnTalent> what is the status of vst usage, can I add them to reaper yet under linux?
[03:59] <holstein> JohnTalent: nothing about linux is preventing that
[03:59] <holstein> JohnTalent: i would ask in #opensourcemusicians or #kxstudio ..if its working anywhere id bet falk is making it work for kxstudio
[04:02] <JohnTalent> holstein: great. this is johnnyl btw.
[04:02] <JohnTalent> how have you been?
[04:02] <holstein> not bad
[04:02] <JohnTalent> thats good!
[04:03] <JohnTalent> holstein: did you hear a sample of mine?
[04:03] <holstein> not yet :)

[04:04] <JohnTalent> soundcloud.com/johnnylutz
[04:04] <JohnTalent> sorry
[04:05] <JohnTalent> made that with reaper/windows.
[04:05] <holstein> lol.. the ark is full ;)
[04:05] <JohnTalent> i know great huh?
[04:05] <JohnTalent> hehe
[04:07] <holstein> you might like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wr2DxHbzEA
[04:11] <JohnTalent> brilliant!
[04:11] <JohnTalent> thats you?
[04:11] <JohnTalent> I never knew!
[04:14] <JohnTalent> I'd like to think one day I can use laptop/keyboard and gig with what little I have. i think vsts may be the way too it. My keyboard has beautiful instruments, but there are others I *need*.
[04:16] <holstein> some kind of country-western thing? or a theater job?
[04:16] <holstein> usually, in the "orchestras" ive played in, they supply the instrument patches and hardware for the synth players
[04:17] <JohnTalent> holstein: freestyle. whatever i can manage.
[04:18] <JohnTalent> i want a better classical piano.
[04:19] <JohnTalent> i miss the one i used to play at my college house.
[04:19] <holstein> i say, just use what you have, unless there is an actual piano around
[04:19] <holstein> though, i like pianoteq quite a bit
[04:19] <JohnTalent> i have a good flute and some other very cool instruments on my korg. but i don't want to be limited by major instruments that i *need*.
[04:19] <JohnTalent> i tired pianoteq. eh.
[04:19] <holstein> well, you may just not need them
[04:20] <holstein> i mean, not to get out there and get started
[04:20] <holstein> if you are not needing certain patches for a job
[04:20] <holstein> if you are, id just have them get them for you
[04:20] <JohnTalent> i know there are monster vsts out there with rich sound, maybe with linux's more optimized sound playing i could gig. it's a dream i guess.
[04:22] <JohnTalent> i have yet to go through them all. but my flamenco guitar vst is so much better than my korg. although it isn't incredibly bad.
[04:23] <JohnTalent> thats the thing here in america, we have a bar and movie culture.
[04:24] <holstein> sure.. i play in bars in america..
[04:47] <JohnTalent> holstein: i'm not sure on this but i think vsts main problem is custom installation under windows.
[04:47] <holstein> im not sure
[04:47] <holstein> i only use native or supported wine applications
[04:54] <JohnTalent> i have vsts i purchased but the author flat out refuses to support linux. so a waste of $220
[05:02] <holstein> if its a deal breaker, just use what they support
[05:02] <holstein> dual boot windows or whatever
[05:05] <JohnTalent> i have vowed never to go back to windows.
[05:05] <holstein> then, you vow to leave that money on the table
[05:05] <holstein> sell them
[05:05] <JohnTalent> hard to buy instruments, impossible to sell.
[05:05] <holstein> ok
[05:05] <holstein> then, you wasted your money..?
[05:08] <JohnTalent> in a big way
[05:09] <holstein> nothing wrong with using the products as intended.. or trying to sell them
[05:09] <holstein> anyways.. im out.. gn
[05:09] <JohnTalent> however, it wasn't my fault. microsoft left my computer open to hacking. and someone specifically deleted my entire downloads directory. i could not put that back on the internet again. so i went linux and now I am here.
[05:09] <JohnTalent> sleep well!
[05:10] <holstein> you dont have to get online with windows
[05:10] <holstein> dual boot to use the product you purchased that requires it..
[05:10] <JohnTalent> holstein: windows suffers using asio anyway.
[05:10] <JohnTalent> linux uses asio much better!
[05:10] <holstein> then, just trash the CD and call it a loss..
[05:10] <JohnTalent> yep.
[05:10] <holstein> i can only offer plausible scnearios that work
[05:10] <holstein> sell.. use..
[05:10] <JohnTalent> yeah
[05:11] <JohnTalent> stay well my friend! peace!
