| @ThorHop:matrix.org | In regards to diminishing returns for audio processing, what workstation grade or server grade system is sort of the "limit" before it can't push the buffer any harder? I'm wondering if you could run say iZotope Ozone "real-time" with a Threadripper or EPYC processor, with processing to spare, using a workstation/server grade CPU from a few generations ago. This is unfortunately for a Windows system :/ since it needs to run something that is only available on Mac or on Windows, which means finding some Windows Enterprise license to open up all them cores, but still. | 22:49:48 |

What needs windows to run? | 19:00:43 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | If it doesn't support Linux or any free OS, it's garbage software IMO. | 19:02:36 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | I would be willing to help you find a substitute tool that will work on NixOS or Linux. | 19:03:35 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | But I do not have any idea about the answer to your actual question, since I stopped using windows for audio at all a couple years back. | 19:04:58 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | It wasn't exactly an easy switch, and kept me on windows for a while after I started using Linux for everything else, so I feel your pain. | 19:22:28 |
| @ThorHop:matrix.org | symys I've tried running Ableton Live via WineASIO, but PipeWire just ain't there yet and I am sort of reliant upon certain software... reliant? No. I absolfrigginlutely LOVE Ableton Live. I'm not leaving it for anything, and there really is no open source alternative. Btw, I use this rig LIVE and not just in private, and also in collaboration with others. So that means I can't just jump over to Bitwig, mostly because Bitwig is... a bit messy imho and isn't at all that great for sampling :/ But yeah, | 20:07:04 |
| @ThorHop:matrix.org | However... I suspect that the Ableton Push 3 (standalone music workstation) not only runs Linux... but NixOS... | 20:07:38 |
| @ThorHop:matrix.org | So in the future, if I could have Push 3 standalone, coupled with Bitwig for mixing, as well as managing MIDI devices, a 16ch audio interface and get me more overhead? Yes please. | 20:08:30 |
| @ThorHop:matrix.org | But - that - was - not - the - question. | 20:08:42 |
| @ThorHop:matrix.org | It needs to be Windows, because my benchmark is: can you run iZotope Ozone live? | 20:09:06 |
| @ThorHop:matrix.org | With a regular workstation? Hell no. Your buffer is going to take a beating. But I suspect that it can be run live if there is enough memory bandwidth, more CPU cache and also software RAID'ed SSD's. Think taking all the most power hungry, absolutely bonkers mastering plugins and using them live.. it's a benchmark, because I'm trying to help some people go for a single server rather than having like 3 laptops and one NUC on stage, that they can put in their rack. | 20:10:34 |

| mao_tse-tung | Hi hi!! Does anyone else have an interest in trying to package the latest (non-snapcraft) version of Spotify? | 04:40:28 |
| 3 Dec 2023 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | Interest? Yes? Follow-through? Probably not. Nix skills? Lmao 🤡 (that's me) | 03:04:02 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | * Interest? Yes. Follow-through? Probably not. Nix skills? Lmao 🤡 (that's me) | 03:04:14 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | In all seriousness, I'd be willing to help, but just know that it would be my first true packaging project. | 03:08:13 |
| Guillaume Desforges | Worry not, the nix community is helpful | 09:27:07 |
| Guillaume Desforges | You can ask questions in #dev:nixos.org for instance | 09:28:00 |
| Guillaume Desforges | But nobody will do the work for you ;) | 09:28:24 |

| @fractivore:cyberia.club | Spotify isn't open source though. Is it really compatible with nix packaging? | 13:10:13 |
