20. How to prepare system for Reaper

Before install Reaper on Ubuntu, we have to do a few things.
Let's do this!

1. Add user to audio group 

First of all  we need to add user to audio group. To do this write in terminal:

sudo adduser user group, for me it looks like: 
sudo adduser suchy audio

Press enter and type password if needed

 

2. Install low latency kernel 

Now it's good to install low latency kernel. It's not necessary, but it's very helpfull to work on Reaper with it.

For install low latency kernel:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-lowlatency linux-headers-lowlatency

-and reboot your system.

Now we can install Grub customizer to easy manipulate versions of kernel.

For install Grub customizer:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grub-customizer

-then run grub customizer

The highest kernel in "advanced option for ubuntu system" is your default kernel. Reboot after changes.

3. Grab Wineasio 

For the last, we need to install a replecement of Windows ASIO server - Wineasio.

The easiest way to do this, is add kxstudio repo and grab some debs from them.

# Install required dependencies if needed
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https software-properties-common wget

# Download package file
wget https://launchpad.net/~kxstudio-debian/+archive/kxstudio/+files/kxstudio-repos_9.4.1~kxstudio1_all.deb

# Install it
sudo dpkg -i kxstudio-repos_9.4.1~kxstudio1_all.deb 

# Install required dependencies if needed
sudo apt-get install libglibmm-2.4-1v5

# Download package file
wget https://launchpad.net/~kxstudio-debian/+archive/kxstudio/+files/kxstudio-repos-gcc5_9.4.1~kxstudio1_all.deb

# Install it
sudo dpkg -i kxstudio-repos-gcc5_9.4.1~kxstudio1_all.deb

After this, we need to update and install our new programs.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wineasio
sudo apt -get install cadence

Now we have to register our new library

regsvr32 wineasio.dll (for 32 bits system)
wine64 regsvr32 wineasio.dll (for 64 bits system)

Restart system after all.
Now you can start cadence for run wineasio server.

Download (Windows version), install and run Reaper.

In audio preferences you should choose wineasio.
Now you have fully working Reaper. 

I currently have Windows 10 on my computer for a number of reasons. 

 But ... I'm still in love with Linux! Now I'm trying to create the perfect KODI version for all my needs.

Thanks for these years. GOOD LUCK!
