 50nj1ku | Also they don't mention it at all in their online docs | 17:09:16 |
 Minijackson | huh, I can't get it to work either 😕 | 17:13:15 |
 @fractivore:cyberia.club | I want to install basically every soft synth available on NixOS. Anyone know where I can get a big list of these? And, any favs and suggestions anyone knows has been packaged? So far I have Yoshimi, that's about it. | 20:10:10 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | I have never settled on a good plugin suite. Now that I'm giving NixOS another shot for audio, I want to really land on one that I can just declare and stop tinkering with for a while. | 20:10:51 |
| Minijackson | I have a soft spot for Cardinal / VCV-rack, but it's a beast to master | 20:11:18 |
| Minijackson | Surge is also great | 20:11:26 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | Cool, I'll check em out! Never used either of those! | 20:11:45 |
| Minijackson | Ardour says I have these instruments: | 20:12:42 |

sent an image. So I recognize a lot of those from AV Linux: MX Edition. A lot of them shipped with the distro so I'm not sure exactly which packs or whatever installed some of them. | 20:15:19 |
 Rampoina | zyn, Helm, oxefm | 20:15:26 |
| Rampoina | csound :P | 20:15:41 |
| Rampoina | as for getting a list I don't have any better suggestion than https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=23.11&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=synthesizer | 20:16:33 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | Oh yeah Helm is rad, I've used that one quite a bit | 20:16:37 |
| Rampoina | aeolus | 20:17:07 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | Thanks for the recs, folks! Plenty of new stuff to try out! | 20:22:50 |

csound :P I hadn't heard of this before. So it's like an old school music language and framework? Sounds like it could be fun to livecode in! | 20:23:33 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | Hey neat, orca-c (esoteric livecoding language) has been packaged! | 20:24:47 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | So is sonic-pi. I've had a lot of fun livecoding in both of these languages. I find sonic-pi a lot more practical but orca is really fun, it's almost like a video game. | 20:25:28 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | Any recommendations for mastering plugins? I'm not very experienced with these in general. | 20:28:25 |

| Rampoina | there's also supercollider | 21:21:16 |
| Rampoina | for a more modern language | 21:21:22 |
| Rampoina | but csound is more batteries included | 21:21:28 |

|  @noiobeforebedtime:winesj.com changed their display name from Jack to Jackoe. | 01:58:55 |

there's also supercollider ahhh right, supercollider is used in sonic-pi's backend somehow | 08:20:25 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | I just realized - nix shells might be a good way of doing temporary audio configuration changes, like a sample rate change! | 08:21:22 |

Calf in general has a lot of good plugins: https://calf-studio-gear.org/ 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. | 08:47:04 |

| Minijackson | make sure your $LV2_PATH var is correct and points to where your plugins are installed | 10:03:46 |
