 @tamtaram:chat.heizhaus.org | im curious about Guillaume's setup too | 22:00:14 |
 Rampoina | * well, I don't know sorry, I don't see anything special in my configuration | 22:00:15 |
| @tamtaram:chat.heizhaus.org | if there is a different approach i can take, i'd do that too | 22:00:29 |
| Rampoina | In reply to @rampoina:matrix.org
hmm maybe I set the paths in ardour? I meant the paths as in just /nix/store or something like this, not every plugin path | 22:03:32 |
| Rampoina | but it doesn't look like I have changed anything there | 22:03:46 |
| @tamtaram:chat.heizhaus.org | i just spun up a fresh NixOS 23.05 stable Gnome VM using the GUI ISO and the GUI installer. I then modified the /etc/nixos/configuration.nix to be:
users.users.lol = {
isNormalUser = true;
description = "lol";
extraGroups = [ "networkmanager" "wheel" ];
packages = with pkgs; [
firefox
# thunderbird
# ADDED BY ME START
ardour
lsp-plugins
x42-plugins
carla
# ADDED BY ME END
];
};
services.pipewire = {
enable = true;
alsa.enable = true;
alsa.support32Bit = true;
pulse.enable = true;
# If you want to use JACK applications, uncomment this
jack.enable = true;
# use the example session manager (no others are packaged yet so this is enabled by default,
# no need to redefine it in your config for now)
#media-session.enable = true;
};
nixos-rebuild boot --upgrade. Reboot.
Result. Ardour cant find the plugins. Either the approach is flawed or there is a bug here.

 Minijackson | in my personal config, I have set:
{
environment.pathsToLink = ["/share/soundfonts"];
environment.variables = {
DSSI_PATH = lib.mkForce "$HOME/.dssi:$HOME/.nix-profile/lib/dssi:/run/current-system/sw/lib/dssi:/etc/profiles/per-user/$USER/lib/dssi";
LADSPA_PATH = lib.mkForce "$HOME/.ladspa:$HOME/.nix-profile/lib/ladspa:/run/current-system/sw/lib/ladspa:/etc/profiles/per-user/$USER/lib/ladspa";
LV2_PATH = lib.mkForce "$HOME/.lv2:$HOME/.nix-profile/lib/lv2:/run/current-system/sw/lib/lv2:/etc/profiles/per-user/$USER/lib/lv2";
LXVST_PATH = lib.mkForce "$HOME/.lxvst:$HOME/.nix-profile/lib/lxvst:/run/current-system/sw/lib/lxvst:/etc/profiles/per-user/$USER/lib/lxvst";
VST_PATH = lib.mkForce "$HOME/.vst:$HOME/.nix-profile/lib/vst:/run/current-system/sw/lib/vst:/etc/profiles/per-user/$USER/lib/vst";
VST3_PATH = lib.mkForce "$HOME/.vst3:$HOME/.nix-profile/lib/vst3:/run/current-system/sw/lib/vst3:/etc/profiles/per-user/$USER/lib/vst3";
};
}

| Minijackson | I forgot why I used mkForce, but it was only after adding these environment variables that Ardour and other software could find my plugins | 06:33:46 |
 Guillaume Desforges | Tamara did you try these environment variables? ☝️ | 07:48:23 |
| @tamtaram:chat.heizhaus.org | Nope. Lemme try when I get home ;) | 08:10:46 |
| Guillaume Desforges | We need to write a wiki page :D | 08:54:15 |
| Guillaume Desforges | Does anyone know how I can pipe my mic+ardour master output to an app (Google Chrome/Discord/...) ? | 08:55:34 |
| Guillaume Desforges | I think I could create a "virtual input" in JACK with takes both inputs and simulates a mic | 08:56:09 |
| Guillaume Desforges | * I think I could create a "virtual input" in JACK with takes both inputs and simulates a mic which I can pick in these apps | 08:56:17 |
| Guillaume Desforges | but IDK how to do that on Linux, I've used Banana on Windows | 08:56:41 |

Does anyone know how I can pipe my mic+ardour master output to an app (Google Chrome/Discord/...) ? You use Helium which is like Jack's patchbay GUI tools | 08:56:50 |
| Guillaume Desforges | sounds nice | 08:57:01 |
| Guillaume Desforges | I tried "connecting" my ardour output to google chrome input with qjackctl but it was not enough | 08:57:32 |
| @tamtaram:chat.heizhaus.org | You can drag the ardour output to an application input sink or as the input of a device | 08:57:40 |
| @tamtaram:chat.heizhaus.org | In reply to @gdesforges:matrix.org
I tried "connecting" my ardour output to google chrome input with qjackctl but it was not enough Hmm. Do u use jack or pipewire-jack? | 08:57:57 |
| Guillaume Desforges | pipewire with jack enabled | 08:58:35 |
| Guillaume Desforges | * pipewire with jack enabled on NixOS | 08:58:48 |
| @tamtaram:chat.heizhaus.org | I'd recommend you give a go at a pipewire native GUI tool and not qjack since that's not interacting with pipewire's native Api afaik | 09:00:28 |
| @tamtaram:chat.heizhaus.org | Check out this ;)
https://github.com/mikeroyal/PipeWire-Guide#audio-tools--libraries-to-use-with-pipewire | 09:00:32 |
| @tamtaram:chat.heizhaus.org | qpwgraph is basically qjackctl for pipewire | 09:01:06 |
| @tamtaram:chat.heizhaus.org | Hope u get it to worj | 09:03:24 |
| @tamtaram:chat.heizhaus.org | * Hope u get it to work | 09:03:29 |
| Minijackson | I personally use pw-viz, which is already packaged in nixpkgs | 09:03:59 |

slightly unrelated
i've added an effect in easyeffects, it crashed, and now no longer starts
(killed, returns 137)
i've not found the local config for that, so it seems like i can't undo adding the effect
and maybe related, audacity takes forever to start, but starts in a pure nix-shell FYI: easyeffects -r resets it (still crashes on that invocation), that fixed it | 12:41:59 |
