I'm throwing myself in Ardour and I'm on NixOS, nice to meet you all :) any advice for someone interested in trying Ardour? | 13:16:05 |
| evils | slightly unrelated
i've added an effect in easyeffects, it crashed, and now no longer starts
(killed, returns 137)
i've not found the local config for that, so it seems like i can't undo adding the effect
and maybe related, audacity takes forever to start, but starts in a pure nix-shell | 13:19:40 |

any advice for someone interested in trying Ardour? If you have experience with DAWs you should be fine, but this YT channel has helped me a lot

| evils | audacity is the closest to DAW experience i've got | 13:21:24 |
| Guillaume Desforges | In NixOS I activated pipewire with JACK and it works amazingly well with my focusrite 2i2 | 13:21:37 |
| Guillaume Desforges | When starting a session in ardour pick the JACK audio system | 13:22:06 |

https://m.youtube.com/@unfa00 i think i saw that before, but was looking for something about ardour7
are you saying ardour7 is close enough to ardour6? | 13:23:03 |
| Guillaume Desforges | Then watch this

are you saying ardour7 is close enough to ardour6? yes, I think most of the features covered in unfa's tutorial are going to be the same whether it be Ardour 6 or 7 | 15:29:55 |

In NixOS I activated pipewire with JACK and it works amazingly well with my focusrite 2i2 yes, I've been very pleasantly surprised of the quality of PipeWire's JACK implementation | 15:30:30 |
| Minijackson | I just had an issue when exporting Ardour session (should be fixed now), and I got issues with Carla in multi-client mode, but not completely sure if this comes from PipeWire | 15:31:11 |
| Minijackson | even better than with the JACK daemon, now my "normal" PulseAudio apps can be routed using a JACK client \o/ | 15:31:45 |
| Minijackson | I can add reverb to my microphone using a JACK LV2 plugin, and use that as an input for a Jitsi video call x) | 15:32:24 |
| Guillaume Desforges | Yeah piping my DAW output to discord and such will be much easier than on Windows haha | 16:57:17 |

| @tamtaram:chat.heizhaus.org | hey there. im a nixos newbie and had some questions regarding audio + daw setup.
- i use pipewire-jack and ardour but found that i had to use the gui app pipecontrol to force the correct samplerate for a given project (i have to manually match that). is there a better way of doing this?
- by default pipewire defaults to an acceptable powerefficient resampling profile. but i want to change that to be higher quality in the pipewire config. what is a good way to set my own config in a nixos configuration?

| @tamtaram:chat.heizhaus.org | hmm. this one must be a common issue tho: i installed some lv2 plugins by adding them as user packages to my nixos config but ardour cannot find them. they are all part of the same pkg definition | 21:13:45 |
| @tamtaram:chat.heizhaus.org | what should i do different? | 21:14:01 |
 Rampoina | I don't remember having to do anything in ardour regarding sample rate, why do you have to change it system wide ? | 21:14:58 |
| Guillaume Desforges | For plugins, I think ardour finds plugins as per LV2_PATH or smth | 21:15:12 |
| Rampoina | you can re-scan from ardour as well | 21:15:47 |
