Hello,

I am the current developer and maintainer of a driver called wineasio http://sourceforge.net/projects/wineasio/ that provides an ASIO interface to windows programs running under wine.

The last few years I've been repeatedly asked about how to run Melodyne under linux, but I've never managed to get it working. I tried again the other day, with Melodyne Editor 2.1.0 Trial, and to my surprise it appears to work more or less perfectly. I have ran the standalone version with the wineasio driver at 64 samples latency, and I've also run the vst plugin hosted by reaper at 64 samples latency.

Hardware used is an i7-2600k cpu with the builtin hd3000 gpu on a z68 mainboard and rme multiface soundcard. Software 64 bit Archlinux with 32bit wine 1.5.10. Melodyne installation was straightforward, but in order to run the program properly I needed to install gdiplus via the winetricks script.

The only problems I've seen so far, has been some minor drawing problems when resizing the vst plugin, and it appeears that if you load the plugin, then remove it, and then load it again, it fails to connect to the internet and falls back to expired demo mode.

I realize that for most this is just a novelty, but I wanted to post the positive news for the people that have previously inquired about it.

Hello jhernberg,

thanks for sharing this with us. Although we do not officially support Linux systems, your info will certainly be of some use for fellow Linux users.

I'm using a PC but this post is the only one that talks about "samples" so I am posting here. I have learned on this forum that lag can be caused by a buffer that needs to be increased. I found "preferences" and changed the number of samples from 2048 to 8192 and it didn't help. Then I found this post regarding Linux and the guy says he uses 64 samples.

I have a PC with 4 GBts of RAM and a 64 bit operating system so I think my computer is fast enough but I get a terrible lag ("latency?") so that when I play my little audio the verticle line is a second ahead of the blob.

My goal is to songify speech, my inspiration is "Dead Give Away". Can I be directed to a thread or get help from an Admin? Thanks.

Oh, in case it is relevant, I am not using any DAW. I guess I will get one when my portable piano arrives tomorrow but so far I am just loading short WAV files into the Melodyne trial version. I have 20 days to go.

Hello monamontgomery,

Please see what I replied in this thread.
