Configuration for Ardour #31

Open jgarte opened 1 year ago

jgarte commented 1 year ago

Hi, what configuration were you thinking of implementing for ardour?

Mostly integrating it with JACK audio or something else as well?

BTW, I packaged cl-collider, a Common Lisp SuperCollider client, for Guix relatively recently but I haven't been able to test it with the JACK server running talking to scsynth:

If you have any suggestions on Guix System for getting set up with JACK it would be much appreciated.

Eventually, yes. I tried while back but had some issues with crashes (not only related to JACK). Right now the feature basically just installs the DAW.

Cool, another musician that uses rde! :smile:

I play electric guitar/bass and usually I use the monitor feature on my audio interface as opposed to the monitor feature in my DAW - I haven't recorded much lately and for those reasons I have not worked much on setting up JACK. But I might get around to it eventually!

Hi! Yep, here's a piece I wrote some years ago that had guitars and bass amongst others in an ensemble:

The reason I ask about JACK is because SuperCollider uses it by default on Linux and in order to start the scsynth server properly JACK needs to be running iirc.

the feature basically just installs the DAW

I saw that. Why install the ardour package via a feature versus some other way? Or is this a placeholder for a more involved feature that handles configuration TBA/coming soon?

Yeah, just a placeholder for doing more things with it later.
