Hmm, how did you make Ardour find the calf plugins? It was able to find a lot of these plugins in the default search paths after I installed them via my configuration.nix, but not the calf plugins, even though calfjackhost is installed.
you have to have this kind of config: https://github.com/musnix/musnix/blob/master/modules/base.nix#L77-L82

@Minijackson:matrix.orgMinijackson make sure your $LV2_PATH var is correct and points to where your plugins are installed 10:03:46
@Minijackson:matrix.orgMinijackson and you should check that Ardour respects the $LV2_PATH value 10:04:11
@Minijackson:matrix.orgMinijackson (note: IIIRC the $VST3_PATH variable is not standard) 10:04:39

if it doesn't, you should be able to override it in the settings
10:05:35
@Minijackson:matrix.orgMinijacksonYou can also check "Preferences > Plugins > Scan for plugins" to see if there's any plugins that Ardour failed to load10:06:49

Is it a bad idea to make my musical collaborators use NixOS for working on projects together? 🤔

I've had issues in the past when me and a collaborator try to work on the same ardour project file - the problem is we don't have all the same plugins, which need to be manually installed to the same version.

@fractivore:cyberia.club@fractivore:cyberia.clubNIX IS basically completely solves this problem... But it's not something I would generally suggest to anyone that's not like already a super-technical open source nerd16:37:12
@fractivore:cyberia.club@fractivore:cyberia.club* NixOS basically completely solves this problem... But it's not something I would generally suggest to anyone that's not like already a super-technical open source nerd. But I feel like just using my config isn't too much to ask. But they'll probably have to use it through WSL....16:37:55
@fractivore:cyberia.club@fractivore:cyberia.clubDunno if this is a good idea or a highly efficient frustration generator for my band16:38:31

@fractivore:cyberia.club@fractivore:cyberia.clubI think my bandmates can handle it, they're tech-savvy. I think we'll try it and it should become clear whether NixOS is actually helping in this situation or becoming more of a hindrance due to the technical overhead.02:26:31
@rampoina:matrix.orgRampoinago for it, Nix band!05:27:39
@rampoina:matrix.orgRampoinathere was this DAW that was trying to solve this problem05:28:12
@rampoina:matrix.orgRampoinaI forgot the name05:28:22
