I would like to install the LSP plugins in Ubuntu Studio 20.10. I know that Ubuntu Studio already has LSP plugins; however, there are several other plugins that I would like to use. The plugins, as downloaded from LSP, have a 'ttl' extension. The other plugins that are installed have an 'so' extension. My reading of the installation procedures indicates that I should just copy the directory to the correct location and ensure that it has the proper name. When I did that, the plugins were not visible in Ardour, even after including the subdirectory as a search site. What should I do to get the proper extension on these plugins (i.e. convert them, install from scratch, etc.).

  • I just checked a little bit, I see there are different LSP-plugins, VST-plugins with `.so` in `/usr/lib/vst/...` and LV2-plugins with `.ttl` in `/usr/lib/lv2/lsp-plugins.lv2`. I'd copy the plugin to the latter folder and try if it works then. – mook765 Jan 12 '21 at 22:23
  • Thanks! I don't know why I did not see that. They work perfectly now. – Nicled Jan 12 '21 at 23:08

There exist different types of LSP-plugins:

  • VST-plugins with the .so-extension are located in /usr/lib/vst/ and it's subfolders.

  • LV2-plugins with the .lv2-extension are located in /usr/lib/lv2

  • LV2-plugins with the .ttl-extension are located in /usr/lib/lv2/lsp-plugins.lv2/.

Since you downloaded a LV2-plugin with the .ttl-extension, just copy it to /usr/lib/lv2/lsp-plugins.lv2/, you'll need root-privileges to do so though.
