Robbert van der Helm e3f65374f4 Add downgrade instructions for Wine Staging 6.4
And the general recommendation to stick with this version for the time
being.

Robbert van der Helm be984b342d Clarify the note about Ardour/Mixbus VST3 support
Outputs here refers to busses, but a bus can contain up to 64 channels.

Robbert van der Helm 4a92034620 Remove the recommendation for preferring VST3
At least for performance reasons, since with the changes in yabridge
3.2.0 they VST2 plugins perform as good or better depending on the
plugin groups settings. Using plugin groups is still less preferable
than using the VST3 version of course.

Robbert van der Helm 383b0c3f10 Remove the cache_time_info option
The new time info caching behaviour supersedes this by getting rid of
callbacks altogether.

Robbert van der Helm 93f089eca7 Always set FTZ instead of gating it behind a flag
After a quick round of testing it seems like REAPER doesn't always
enable this on the audio thread, but Bitwig, Ardour, Carla and Renoise
do. So it should be safe to just get rid of the option and to leave this
enabled all the time.

Robbert van der Helm d75805820d Mark the options that are not yet in 3.1.0 2021-04-28 00:53:31 +02:00
Robbert van der Helm 2be41da9b6 Add compatibility option to force flushing to zero
This prevents Kush Audio REDDI from taking down the DAW when the host
passes it denormalized audio to process. I've discovered that the issue
with this plugin had to do with denormals in the issue linked below, but
I didn't realize that we can just enable the FTZ flag for plugins that
don't already do so.

Robbert van der Helm ab56115c87 Add Bitwig+Chromaphone 3 as a hide_daw candidate
Under Bitwig, the plugin will crash when trying to enter text unless you
hide the DAW the plugin is being hosted under.
2021-04-27 18:57:09 +02:00
Robbert van der Helm 3a73fb9689 Allow hiding the DAW name for VST2 plugins
This can be useful when plugins have (broken) host-specific behaviour
that you want to avoid. I'll later add a list of host/plugin
combinations where this may be useful to the readme.

Robbert van der Helm 75892794f8 Add a suggestion for disabling Serum's tooltips
These won't disappear once they're shown. I though that I'd already
listed this somewhere, but apparently not.

Robbert van der Helm 3f427cfa5a Move known issues section up in the readme
Very few people will read the entire readme, so it would make sense to
place the more important sections earlier in the readme.

Robbert van der Helm b04c0b2c65 Update links to the VST3 documentation
Those were broken after Steinberg restructured the docs with the VST

Robbert van der Helm a297866d45 Add way to use 32-bit VST3 when both are installed
Otherwise we would always use the 64-bit version and there would be no
way to use the 32-bit version, if version for some reason works better.

Relates to #80.
2021-04-13 19:28:36 +02:00
Robbert van der Helm b1eaaa0638 Fix ABI compatibility with 32-bit VST3 plugins #80
This would cause 32-bit VST3 plugins to crash in mysterious ways. What
ended up being the issue is that the plugins expected doubles to be
8-byte aligned in structs, while GCC doesn't do that by default in x86
code for legacy ABI compatibility reasons. Figuring out what exactly was
the issue took months, but luckily the fix was to just add an
`-malign-double`!

Everything seems to work great now on Qtractor 0.9.21!

Robbert van der Helm 5dbc3bd2b9 Clarify the VST3 status of Ardour and Mixbus
Plugins are probably going to handle not having all of their outputs
correctly, so it's unlikely that they'll cause the DAW to crash.

Robbert van der Helm 546882a281 Bundle yabridgectl with yabridge in next release
Setting up VST3 plugins without yabridgectl is a lot of work and quite
error prone, so it seems like a good idea to now modify the CI build
artifacts to merge the yabridgectl binary in with the regular archives.

Those also resolves #67.
