 eyes1238 | how's everyone else | 00:30:25 |
| eyes1238 | * how's everyone else's luck with vst emulation on nixos? any useful flakes or things i should know about? | 00:30:47 |
 sjfloat | I've not done a lot with that. Does it require wine or something? | 01:07:10 |
| sjfloat | I've stuck mainly to the usual LADSPA and LV2. | 01:08:36 |
| sjfloat | I'm interested in writing some of my own, probably with Faust. | 01:09:37 |
|  NixOS Moderation Bot joined the room. | 01:21:39 |
| eyes1238 | I use yabridge, which yes is wine based, and its incredibly easy to use on a normal distro | 01:25:03 |
| eyes1238 | harder on nixos... requires some environment variable fuckery | 01:25:21 |
| eyes1238 | it sets up a whole wine prefix in my nix store lol | 01:27:13 |
| sjfloat | Well, hopefully we can compare notes here and iron some of this stuff out. | 01:28:34 |
| sjfloat | And we should probably document our findings on the wiki. | 01:29:26 |
| eyes1238 | My system configuration has a neat module which I use for vst emulation: https://github.com/the-argus/nixsys/blob/main/user/argus/music/yabridge.nix | 01:31:38 |
| eyes1238 | I was just considering making it its own flake | 01:31:52 |
| eyes1238 | with nix, im often torn between a.) trying to make contributions to the wiki, or a PR to nixpkgs or whatever or b.) decentralized approach of just making my own flakes | 01:32:33 |
| sjfloat | Maybe a combination of both? | 01:40:19 |
| sjfloat | A collection of flakes would be cool | 01:41:36 |
| eyes1238 | Yeah, and then one meta flake that could be included, would be nice to have something as simple as proAudio.enable = true; in your nixos config | 01:44:17 |
| eyes1238 | i think i need to see more success before I contribute anything to the wiki though, as of right now I'm not actually making any music on my nix laptop | 01:45:13 |
| sjfloat | I think that even stubbing some of this out on the wiki would give hope to some frustrated people. | 12:19:21 |
| sjfloat | Having two or three profiles at the top would be great. | 12:22:20 |
| sjfloat | i.e. for flakes and docs | 12:22:50 |
 Chris McDonough | i would certainly be interested in a vst controller windows-ui thing that mostly worked... i have been far too lazy to try any of that, i know how fraught it is | 14:35:32 |
| eyes1238 | I just made a little state hole in my otherwise pure nix config, allowing me to install plugins that can't be packaged with nix into my user's wine prefix | 17:12:16 |
| eyes1238 | I think I'm going to make a flake packaging some plugins that aren't already on nixpkgs | 17:12:56 |
| sjfloat | I'd like to see what you come up with with. | 17:14:05 |
|  @lily:lily.flowers joined the room. | 17:59:03 |
| eyes1238 | https://github.com/the-argus/audio-plugins-nix | 18:42:32 |
| eyes1238 | currently has a grand total of one (1) working package | 18:42:49 |
| sjfloat | Is that youra? | 18:45:17 |
| eyes1238 | yep, just threw it together | 18:45:33 |
