Notes:
The kernel-rt is now able to build the NVidia driver.
The big news: there are now some NAM-A2 plugins available. The NAM model stands for Neural Amplifier Model and is a specific neural model used to model various pieces of gead: amplifier, cabinet, effects. The NAM A1 (the old model) was very load consuming and I was not able to use it on my PC. The NAM A2 is working at a fraction of the NAM A1 load and has a parameter which allows to tune the fidelity of the model and so reduces the load.
Here is a video were I used the lve-neural-amplifier-model in Carla coupled with zam-gate as a noise gate.
Most of these news are available here in a simplified version:
