guitarix2-0.46.0 released

[tramp]

Guitarix is a modular, virtual amplifier for Linux.

With Guitarix you can choose different preamp and amp models
and /or could load .nam files with the Neural Amp Modeler modules,
or load .json or .aidax files with the RTNeural modules,
to simulate a specific hardware unit.
Combine them with various effects and speaker cabinet emulations
and/or load your own Impulse Response files
to come up with your very own tones.

New in this release:

• Add support for RTNeural network engine
• Allow to load two instances of the neural modules
• Add NAM and RTNeural Multi module (Load two models and blend between them)
• Implement links in the about menu to download sites for neural models (*.nam or *.aidax)
• Fix resampling issues within the neural modules
• Fix for distributors: reimplement root directory for release tarball

You are a rockstar, @tramp

[timark]

NIce, thanks a lot!

Congrats @tramp!

Guitarix has been an amazing journey and now the neural stuff takes it to a whole new level of potential!

*side note, a reminder to AV Linux users that updates to apps like Guitarix, Qtractor, Yoshimi, LSP-Plugins etc.. all appear in the MX Test Repo which can be accessed through the MX Package Installer.. Occasionally we even get stuff before it appears in Sid!

I borked my system and had to do a reinstall, and I decided to build the current Guitarix from source rather than taking the older version from Debian. Except when I run

./waf configure --prefix=/usr --includeresampler --includeconvolver --optimization

I get

/usr/bin/env: ‘python’: No such file or directory

I made a point of making sure all listed dependencies installed so I'm not sure why this cropped up.

[tramp]

I get

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/env: ‘python’: No such file or directory

You could use python3 like so

Code: Select all

python3 ./waf configure --prefix=/usr --includeresampler --includeconvolver --optimization
python3 ./waf build
sudo python3 ./waf install

or, install the python-is-python3 package to get the symlink for python.

Thanks, I ended up needing some more packages, but they were easy to find when the configuration stopped on an error. Except once I got it installed, I ran it but it failed silently. I ran it in a terminal window and got this.

Code: Select all

You need to setup jackd with realtime priority.

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg-reconfigure -p high jackd

Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

I've never seen this error. If it still occur when jack run with realtime priority, it may be helpful to run it in a debugger (gdb guitarix).

It took me a while to see your reply because I needed to make sure I had time to jump down a rabbit hole if I needed to. And now?Sweetness! I now have Guitarizx running! I thought I had set jackd for realtime, but I'm finding all sorts of things I thought I had set up right weren't. The other error is gone so I guess fixing jackd's realtime status fixed it too. Thanks for the assists.

Some folks mentioned they have created 'Maximum Accuracy' NAM files, for the Marshal 'brown' sound...of which I am fully
Sergeant Schultz. For those familiar, the 'complex' captures are 2480k, while the standard versions are 290k. Of the four in the archive,
I only was able to use "Slammin_Plexi_Cranked_7_2000E_Standard.nam", one of the small ones, and still add add Shiroverb.
The complex captures were too much for my old i7 quadcore cpu. There is also a link to other such captures in the first post.
Hope someone finds these enjoyable.

Ups, that is really heavy. (To heavy for my box).
I found something more the opposite of that here: https://forum.mod.audio/t/nam-models-re ... -x/10939/1
He re-capture some NAM models and train aidax (RTNeural) models from them.
The results been absolutely light in CPU usage while still sounds good.
