Robbert van der Helm a6ac958bfb Add a note on Spitfire plugins and Wine prefixes
I was pretty sure something like this was already in there, apparently
not.

Robbert van der Helm db6bab03f6 Remove mentions of VST3 support being experimental 2021-02-14 14:08:52 +01:00
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.

Robbert van der Helm 2469c207de Update the list of tested DAWs 2021-02-14 13:12:25 +01:00
Robbert van der Helm 6165e46ec8 Mention that VST3 modules might not be unloaded
In certain hosts.

Robbert van der Helm 44cb2ffbaf Update the Qtractor entry
This patch fixes object leaks, and it should make VST3 plugins that
previously wouldn't work run properly in Qtractor.

Robbert van der Helm 433d35109a Mention mounting options for NI .iso files
Some Kontakt and Reaktor installation .iso files contain hidden
directories and won't install unless you unhide these first.

Robbert van der Helm b5dd806b2d Cache VST3 parameter information
This is in some cases needed to get decent performance in REAPER, as
REAPER seems to query this information (which cannot change without the
plugin requesting a restart) four times per second.
2021-01-30 22:24:05 +01:00
Robbert van der Helm 8bba5d8773 Mention that REAPER's bridges should be disabled
This can absolutely destroy performance when using VST3 plugins. REAPER
also does something similar with bus information from the audio
thread (for which we had to build in a caching layer), but with these
plugin bridges a VST3 plugin will quickly use ten times as much CPU time
as it should be using.

Robbert van der Helm 0adca3e33c Revert "Remove cache_time_info and always cache time info"
This reverts commit cfb171c991.

No idea why, but this cache breaks SPL Transient Designer Plus. Perhaps
it overwrites the time info?
2021-01-30 02:37:27 +01:00
Robbert van der Helm cfb171c991 Remove cache_time_info and always cache time info
It sort of goes against yabridge's principles to not do these
unnecessary `audioMasterGetTime()` calls if the plugin does that, but it
also hurts the user experience to not have this as a default.

Robbert van der Helm d252ace189 Mention a workaround for TDR plugin knob behaviour 2021-01-19 16:54:23 +01:00
Robbert van der Helm dac817323b Add an option to force drag-and-drop under REAPER
This works around a long standing bug in REAPER itself that would
prevent you from dragging files onto any plugin editor window.
2021-01-19 15:11:27 +01:00
Robbert van der Helm 029f797377 Update readme for the current VST3 support status
We still need to do a lot of testing, and before that there are quite a
few things I need to fix or take a look at, but now we at least
technically support all VST 3.7.1 features.

Robbert van der Helm 2ae250d601 Mention display managers overriding login shell 2021-01-15 11:18:56 +01:00
Robbert van der Helm 9d5d8c1b60 Update the status on vst3_no_scaling and HiDPI
Apparently 200% scaling with Wine's font DPI set to 192 often does work
correctly.
2021-01-14 17:51:05 +01:00
Robbert van der Helm 5dcedbace5 Add an option to disable VST3 content scaling
This might be necessary when using a HiDPI screen as plugin GUIs often
don't scale correctly under Wine.

Robbert van der Helm 4c2d4320b4 Mention the performance frequency scaling governor 2021-01-13 21:41:09 +01:00
Robbert van der Helm 1770cfd2c0 Remove mentions of wine-nspa
This hasn't been updated in a while, so you're better off using
wine-tkg.

Robbert van der Helm 66d137f0e6 Add frame_rate to the example config file 2021-01-11 23:46:48 +01:00
Robbert van der Helm bf3a4e7296 Allow changing the event loop tick rate
This also changes the refresh rate for most plugins. You can now lower
this setting if your computer is struggling to keep up with rendering a
certain heavy plugin.

Robbert van der Helm 26c04cf246 Update winedbg GDB proxy support
The GDB proxy now seems to work again, but only in remote sessions.

Robbert van der Helm 872a6aa304 Don't enable unity builds by default
But do suggest enabling them in the readme and enable them on the CI.
Having them enabled by default breaks clangd/ccls, which doesn't sound
like a great idea.

Robbert van der Helm ef53e3b050 Update Ardour's VST3 status
Since the change that would fix these issues in some cases (but probably
not all) got reverted. We'll have to wait for Ardour to support more
flexible IO arrangements.

Robbert van der Helm ed7ff3db4a Rewrite the manual installation section
There were still some mentions of the old symlink based installation
method there. Since this tends to be a source of issues, it's better to
just remove all mentions of it from the main readme.
