The x42 Plugins

[Studio Saturn]

Has anybody tried those plugins? Have you noticed how precise they are? damn they are cheap too. For what they give I'm not talking about the money value. Try them if you didn't. I love them

Sorry for the stupid ? But where can I find those plugins?

Aren't they supposed to be already included in Mix3us and the license purchased here : http://harrisonconsoles.com/site/store-mixbus.html ?

I didn't find clear explanations about it, and as i use Debian / Kxstudio i got them installed with a simple apt-get install x42-plugins.

Yap they already are.

They are included, and the quickest way to find them is to search for them by author, Robin Gareus, in the plugin manager.

If I see that correctly, in the Linux bundles they are deactivated (by removing the .lv2 extension) anyway, to not interfere with versions installed from your distribution. So basically they are only prepackaged so that OSX and Windows users can easily use (and get aware of) them as well.

Maybe Robin or someone from Harrison might clarify.

The plugins follow a similar model as Ardour.

You can always get the source-code for free, yet verified (known to work) binaries and support are available commercially at http://sites.fastspring.com/harrisoncons.../x42meters

While many GNU/Linux distributions offer the service of building them at no cost for everyone, sadly currently only two distros (KXstudio and AVlinux) get it right.

Other Linux distros are aware of the issues (inaccurate readouts, potential crashes), but currently ignore it and ship sub-standard builds to their users, anyway. The author (me) works with various Linux packagers and upstream to resolve the issues but this is a long process (most notable issue https://github.com/FFTW/fftw3/issues/16) also in some cases distributors outright refuse to address various issues (eg. CPU specific math optimizations which only work on modern machines are at odds with Debian/Ubuntu policy).

The IEC specs are very strict and there are various ways to screw this up when building the plugins. There are no intention to make this extra complicated in order to sell them. It just is hard and takes some effort and diligence to get right.

The author cannot take any responsibility for GNU/Linux distribution provided software.
The plugin-license is literally a "[gpg] signature" of the author to certify a properly tested build and specs compliance.

The binaries that come with Mixbus do fulfill that criteria and apart from the author have also been verified by Harrison staff to be accurate for professional applications.

X42 Equalizer looks very useful for surgical tweaks, and is free.
Nice!

I guess we should be linked to this page (at least it used to be) : http://sites.fastspring.com/harrisoncons.../x42meters

But currently it says "Not Found. We were unable to find the requested file or resource".
