From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So the V collection is similar to analog lab in that it can be downloaded from the same software center and may use their licensing from that, but the gripe is whether or not I need Arturia's software center installed somehow in the first place. Is your version of analog lab licensed? If so, do you recall how you got it installed/working/Licensed under linux (using their software center or some other way?). I am not sure if you can just grab a VST/LV2 from them - I was under the impression you needed to install your licensed products via that software center.
Thanks
So I recently reinstalled Linux on my machine but hadn't bothered to reinstall Analog Lab, so I just did that now to confirm it still works. It was really easy.
From their website I got the installer, and ran Analog Lab V Setup.exe with Wine. I went through the setup wizard just like you would on Windows, and then manually moved the vst file from the Wine directories into my normal vst location (~/.vst). After this, I generated the .so file with yabridge. This is also a really simple process. If you are using yabridge for the first time, you need to tell it where your plugins are:
$ yabridgectl add path/to/vstAfter that, generate the .so files:
$ yabridgectl syncOnce this is done, your DAW of choice should be able to find and open the plugin. For me, Analog Lab V opened without issue and prompted me for my account info. Here's Analog Lab V on my machine:
Edit: I forgot to mention my copy is legit and it activated no problem.
You are my hero, this is EXACTLY what I was hoping for. Thank you so, so much!
Happy music making (:
What's the DAW you use?
