 @fractivore:cyberia.club | Like, to make sure the right mic is going to the right place. | 02:09:35 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | Hey does anybody know how to enable "pro audio" mode for PipeWire on NixOS? | 02:09:52 |

Probably a few different ways to debug it... Sorry for the late reply. Have you looked at it with qpwgraph or a visual tool like that? Hey, I have a similar problem in my HP laptop | 02:23:24 |
| 50nj1ku | In my case pavucontrol has 2 different microphones to select from for the internal sound card. One of them is just the same name as the other with " (unplugged)" appended at the end. Try switching them if its the same case for you. | 02:25:03 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | I am having such woes with keeping my midi device connected to ardour âšī¸ | 02:26:23 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | Any recommendations? Is there something better for loading instrument plugins into to use for performances? | 02:27:10 |

Hey does anybody know how to enable "pro audio" mode for PipeWire on NixOS? I found that you can run pavucontrol, and in the configuration tab you can set your device profile to "Pro Audio" | 06:56:15 |
| Minijackson | not the most PipeWirey thing to do, but it works! | 06:56:30 |

not the most PipeWirey thing to do, but it works! I'll take minimally practical over maximally idiomatic any dang day | 08:54:13 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | Thanks!! | 08:54:27 |
| Minijackson | sure! | 08:54:35 |

| @fractivore:cyberia.club | I was looking around for a good SF2 player for a bit... And ya know what came through for me? Ardour8's ACE FluidSynth. | 07:50:33 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | fluidsynth (the CLI program) - too much work to get started, plus you really want a GUI for this kind of stuff.
linuxsampler with qsampler frontend - far too buggy to use, I couldn't get past the bugs to even make sound from it.
Those were the ones I tried before realizing Ardour8 has ACE FluidSynth and trying it out.
CALF FluidSynth - not packaged for nix yet ? | 07:52:49 |
| Minijackson | isn't CALF FluidSynth part of pkgs.calf? I never checked | 07:55:17 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | Doesn't seem to be. | 07:56:17 |
| @fractivore:cyberia.club | But there is always a very solid chance I'm just being dumb đ | 07:57:35 |
