Trouble With Yabridge
What I did
I went on an adventure trying to get Serum2 to work on linux, settled on yabridge to get windows VSTs working and eventually made a scuffed af flake that did work. I found this repo near the end of getting it to work on my own and really liked how it managed things with it's yabridgemgr.
I found a nixos config I wanted to try and edited that to make this system config and then wanted to get serum2 to work on that too, but with a different project structure (one big system flake and modules in that instead of a flake just for audio) Added this repo to my system flake and I was able to install bitwig 6 beta, awesome.
What I failed to do
After getting bitwig working (quite easy to do, very cool) I tried to get one of the wine plugins to work, I simply cannot figure out how things work. After a handful of hours trying to learn how this repo functions I am out of ideas. My module attle is here, it is not very long.
I seek assistance in getting yabridgemgr working and then dieally being able to add my own windows plugins using the tools in this repo. I did try to get serum2 working but ultimately failed to even get the in-built plugins to work.
More info
Aside from my system config repo I can say that yabridgectl sync complains about yabridge-host.exe missing and yabridgectl list is simply empty after building.
Any assistance is appreciated. If I get any questions I will do my best to answer them. Or you can just blow this ticket up; surely I'll figure it out eventually.

Sorry for the late reply, I am currently very busy with stuff different than music. I heard that yabridge is currently all kinds of broken, especially with newer Wine versions. I need to look into that at some point.
Were you able to build and run the example VM that comes in this repo? That should be nixosConfigurations.yabridgemgr_test built using something like nixos-rebuild build-vm --flake .#yabridgemgr-test.
If you run the resulting VM you should be able to open Carla rack, scan for plugins and then should be able to add the Valhalla Supermassive to the Carla rack. If that does not work, you probably don't need to bother trying to add new stuff,
