you have to have this kind of config: https://github.com/musnix/musnix/blob/master/modules/base.nix#L77-L82 Oh right, I forgot about that part! Thanks again! | 14:45:25 |
| symys | 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. | 16:36:33 |
| symys | NIX 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 nerd | 16:37:12 |

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 |
| symys | Dunno if this is a good idea or a highly efficient frustration generator for my band | 16:38:31 |

| symys | I 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 | go for it, Nix band! | 05:27:39 |
| Rampoina | there was this DAW that was trying to solve this problem | 05:28:12 |

| symys | So I decided to use musnix as a flake (to avoid the state associated with channels or cloning), and doing so had the effect of downgrading my ardour version from 8 to 7 🤔 | 06:39:37 |
| symys | I guess that must mean that the flake input chain pins that version somewhere? | 06:41:03 |
| symys | oof Ardour got broken in other ways too... Seems to have had JACK support removed completely. I'm gonna delete this flake and try the install via clone. | 07:16:47 |
| symys | Probably I'm misusing the flake since this was my first attempt at using them. | 07:17:28 |
 Minijackson | that's weird, how did you import the flake, symys ? | 08:20:58 |
| Minijackson | reading the README, it should not have an impact on your nixpkgs version | 08:21:26 |

that's weird, how did you import the flake, symys ? I had created a flake from scratch, in /etc/nixos/, that was a combination of a basic system configuration flake from the NixOS Wiki and the flake given for installation in the musnix repo. I may have also downloaded the flake.lock from the repo, I feel like that was wrong. I deleted all that and copied the installation flake to /etc/nixos/flake.nix. Ardour seems to be working properly with pipewire, and is the correct version now, but it still can't find some of the plugins I installed in my config. | 22:11:07 |
| symys | IDK, I think I have a full plugin suite without Calf, although I like those plugins. I might just do without them for now. | 22:12:30 |
| symys | I don't want to have to do any kind of stateful configuration. | 22:12:47 |
| symys | Hmm, not actually able to get sound from my audio interface, though pipewire can clearly stat it and I can route audio around successfully to other devices 🤔 | 23:09:57 |
| symys | So far PipeWire is not coming across as the improvement upon JACK it was sold to me as | 23:10:46 |
| symys | JACK can understand my audio interface and is aware of its sample rate.... | 23:11:19 |

| symys | Yeahhhh I'm gonna switch back to JACK, after asking about the issue in the PipeWire matrix.org room and reading some docs, this is probably going to be a huge issue to fix. | 21:57:50 |
| symys | I didn't realize PipeWire only got its first stable release in November. Somebody was recommending it to me before that like it was all ready. | 21:58:22 |
