How do I open a midi file with Sonic-Pi?
Ah, so that, I don't think you can do. Sonic-pi can recognize the midi signal but I don't think it supports midi files directly.
04:03:14
@fractivore:cyberia.clubsymysPersonally, with my stack, I'd probably open up the midi file in ardour and route it into sonic-pi using PipeWire or JACK.04:03:41
@technicus:matrix.orgMiles DysonSo I will need to play the midi file with a different program then send the midi signal into Sonic-Pi.04:03:53
@fractivore:cyberia.clubsymyspretty much, yeah. In the IO tab, there's a "midi inputs" section.04:04:35
@technicus:matrix.orgMiles DysonI am such a noop . . . I have not even opened Ardour yet.04:04:37
@fractivore:cyberia.clubsymysI've tried out quite a few daws, most of the free ones plus a few that cost money, and ardour is by far my favorite!04:05:21
@fractivore:cyberia.clubsymysYou can just drag and drop the midi file in!04:06:03
@technicus:matrix.orgMiles DysonI am probably getting the ocassional clicks because the audio settings are not yet optimized.04:08:29
@technicus:matrix.orgMiles DysonAs usual, I am already trying to run the instant I learn to crawal.04:09:01

You can view the memory limit with 'ulimit -l', and it is normally controlled by  /etc/security/limits.conf```

Oh yeah, the ulimit thing, that's a pain. Did you set up musnix yet?
04:11:49
@fractivore:cyberia.clubsymysGetting "too many open files" from ardour?04:12:06
@fractivore:cyberia.clubsymysI had to work through this issue a couple months back, I think it was musnix that fixed it04:12:33
@technicus:matrix.orgMiles DysonNo, I have been too excited and skipped a few important steps.04:12:36
@technicus:matrix.orgMiles DysonI got lost trying to figure out what Musnix is.04:13:06
@technicus:matrix.orgMiles DysonWhat is it?04:13:09
@technicus:matrix.orgMiles Dyson. . . but I am still trying to understand how to setup revision control for my config files.04:14:02
@technicus:matrix.orgMiles DysonThere is still a bit of basic system administration that needs to be established.04:15:37
@fractivore:cyberia.clubsymys
In reply to @technicus:matrix.org
What is it?
It's this: https://github.com/musnix/musnix
Basically it's a repo that has options to make configuring NixOS for audio work easier.

This isn't exactly the right channel for that, but may I take it you're new to git?

My git knowledge is just enough.
04:19:33
@technicus:matrix.orgMiles DysonCan I have the config files in a non root directory?04:21:02

You can. There's a few ways of doing it, including home-manager (which I haven't bothered to learn yet myself), using flakes and specifying a flake to build from on the command line, or perhaps just manually copying your config files from your non-root repo to their normal rootful location. I personally just have a git repo in my root /etc/nixos, which is probably not recommended, but 🤷‍♂️
04:24:05
@fractivore:cyberia.clubsymysIf you just want to get started with the music stuff, don't worry about getting "the right" kind of revision control setup. You could just manually upload the files to github and figure out a fancier way later if you need to.04:25:25
@fractivore:cyberia.clubsymysWhen it comes to secrets files, absolutely keep those outside of your repo. Ultimately you need something other than git and NixOS to manage your secrets. You can use agenix to encrypt your secrets files or whatever, but even then you still have to manage your private key. My advice? Use a password manager for that.04:27:44
@fractivore:cyberia.clubsymysGenerate a keypair, upload the public key to github so you can push code from the command line, put the corresponding private key in your password manager, and you should be good to go.04:29:27

What password manager do you recommend?

I use BitWarden.... I'd recommend it on account of the fact that it's free, low-friction, and has good compatibility options. You can also host your own with VaultWarden, but that's not really gonna get you added security guarantees at all unless you're a very experienced sysadmin and instead is likely to weaken your security posture.

Personally I use 1Password. BitWarden is also a good choice.
