ardour VS pajackconnect

> I think a lot of people starting with open source kinda expect that dedicated contributors will start to swarm around the project. In reality, a large majority of projects, even many quite prominent ones, are driven by a very small core, often just the project founder.

I'm the lead author of Ardour [0], and I'd very much like to hear more about your frustrations, since over the next 1-2 years, paying attention to non-European musical culture is one of the things I hope to focus on during development. You can reach me via the email address in my profile, or maybe use our forums at discourse.ardour.org. Thanks.

[0] https://ardour.org/ <= a cross-platform open source DAW that has been around for more than 23 years

One extra detail, something I've learned from 20 years of working on dragging all kinds of objects around the GUI of Ardour [0]: handle ALL button press and release events as drag events where there is no movement.

I am aware of the 'Real Tone Cable' however I am curious if this is what I should be buying if I also intend on recording my playing in a software such as 'Ardour'

If you don't care about exotica like async or signal safety, and just need to see the callstack from arbitray points, this can do the job without C++23:

(2 different implementations, one for POSIX-y systems with the execinfo.h header, and one for Windows)

The demange() function is elsewhere.

I just loaded an instance of samplv https://samplv1.sourceforge.io/ into the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), Ardour https://ardour.org/ .

If you produce music using a DAW, my preferred is Linux's Ardour: http://ardour.org

Ardour is a free DAW that recently added a clip launcher. I've never tried it.

PulseAudio: PulseAudio-ALSA-JACK Bridge (Comes out of the box with Cadence!) pavucontrol The rest of PulseAudio magic is done by playing with your default.pa/system.pa files ;)

> Yeah making PulseAudio play nice with JACK seems to be tricky.

for me https://github.com/brummer10/pajackconnect has worked flawlessly... but I've switched to pipewire and I'm not looking back !

start jack, start pulseaudio, run pajackconnect, done

Jack + Qjackctl to set things like buffer size has actually been pretty seamless to me using Bitwig. Everything kind of just works once I setup a Pulse Audio -> Jack Bridge via Qjackctl and this script. I can get latency way down low in Bitwig, and then when I'm running normal apps and games the bridge works perfectly. Pipewire is exciting though, it's just pretty new so I haven't seen as much documentation or tools.
