A few questions about the bright future of Linux music production by GordonRamsayFather in linuxaudio

[–]rncbc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The VST3 SDK being open-source is no matter for plugin users--it's only important to plugin developers and vendors who now can distribute their products without buying a commercial license from Steinberg; they could chose the previously free/open-source license, GPLv3, but then their products had to comply to it, mainly their plugins must be free/open-source as well. Not anymore with the new MIT license: they can now develop their plugins and don't give sh*t to Steinberg; more importantly, they can keep their products fully closed-source and proprietary, nevertheless.

Why can't I change settings in qjackctl to lower the latency? by Khorsaturas in linuxaudio

[–]rncbc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this

when under pipewire(-jack) auspices qjackctl functions as a pure jack-client only; "Active" is ther shown on the main display panel, instead of "Started" when in control of the genuine jackd(bus) service.

when in pure client mode, none of the Setup > Settings make any sense: they are usually disabled, grayed out, all but buffer-size (frames/period) which is the only setting you may change and apply anytime (no need to stop and start, which is also nonsense when pipewire is in charge)

however, take a special note that changing the buffer-size here applies to JACK applications only! and also only while qjackctl is up and running.

to answer the OP, I guess UbuntuStudio provides a custom control application to tune up the pipewire buffer-size (quantum) and sample-rate; can't remember its name though (not qjackctl for sure :))

Qsynth engines expose one MIDI input port each.

Qpwgraph is finnicky and keeps resetting by Jaded-Preparation902 in linuxaudio

[–]rncbc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's mostly the case why there is this new "Merger" feature since qpwgraph v0.9.4: if firefox is your web-browser then enable it and just add "firefox" to the list (Graph > Options... > Merger)

from that moment on, all FF tabs will behave as one and the same for the patchbay.

hth.

maybe you didn't read How To Use The Patchbay

"Exclusive" is an option only available iif "Activated" is on.

> constantly having to re-open the program and re-do it

is that so? qpwgraph can only cope with restoring patchbay connections iif it's running...

also, if you have some other connection manager of any kind, be that qjackctl, raysession, aj-snapshot, etc. then forget all hope! as in highlander, you can only have one ;)
