#qpwgraph

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Trying latest #bitwig beta, I've found that with all the new audio settings we've lost the possibility to add audio inputs and outputs at will.
I used this a lot for routing audio and cv signals inside linux with #pipewire and #qpwgraph
Am I missing something, is there a workaround, or is that possibility lost?
I think I'm going to write devs to implore them to bring it back, but they have never done anything other than saying "thanks for your input".

Continued thread

Hay tanta documentacion de como se hacia antes de #PipeWire en #Linux, que cuesta horrores encontrar como se hace ahora. Una vez lo encuentras, facil: Arrancar todos los programas de #jack con el wrapper pw-jack: pe. `pw-jack -p 512 ardour` (lo de `-p 512` es para evitar latencias de una corchea). Y en vez del #qjackctl para conectar programas, #qpwgraph. Si pw es el camino, igual deberiamos de hacer algo para que el wrapper no sea necesario. No es muy #userfriendly.

що ж, шакея знову позбавили електрохарчування
тому час для першого посту в NL.

раніше я згадував про qpwgraph, який став для мене справжнім порятунком, тому, думаю, варто розповісти про нього детальніше.

qpwgraph — це зручний GUI для керування вводом і виводом мультимедіа в PipeWire.

ця програма дозволяє працювати з джерелами через графи: ви можете підключати та відключати вузли, що представляють мультимедійні джерела та вихідні пристрої.

кожне джерело має виходи для лівого і правого каналів, що дозволяє вам гнучко налаштовувати, у який канал спрямувати кожне джерело.

також є можливість зберігати профілі у файли, які можна завантажити за потреби.

і що найголовніше - застосунок безкоштовний та з відкритим вихідним кодом

So, on Sunday, I bit the bullet, and got installed and replaced .

So far, everything works better, but for some reason, my midi keyboard is acting weird in ... I can't change the instrument there, I have to go to to route the keyboard.

but hey, I'm one step closer to make music using ... now the only thing missing is... talent...

I switched to #pipewire on ubuntu 22.04 and so far it looks great. Midi keys lag disappeared as well as occasional pitch glitch of #pianoteq synth.

Only thing which was not working out of the box was routing midi events. There is GUI for this called #qpwgraph but how-tos are not mentioning it for some reason.

This is almost magic. I finally set up #pipewire correctly, and now I'm able to (ab)use #qpwgraph [1] to play with my system audio in realtime (editing works seamless).

Like here, I'm using easyeffects [2] to set up a lowpass filter, which I then plugged directly between the output of VLC and the "LFE" output port through to my DIY speaker. It now acts as subwoofer under the table, in addition to regular desktop speakers on the table.

Laptop and Home studio PC updated to UbuntuStudio 23.04! :linux: Had to get used to Pipewire and qpwgraph but so far so good. :ubuntu:

Btw: has someone documentation on how to use qpwgraph correctly? I still have some things to sort out.

I'm messing around with #pipewire, #wireplumber and #qpwgraph. Gotta say, the possibilities here are endless.

I renamed my devices to sensible names, and I created a virtual sink so that when I to stream games to my friends, I can have a much better time routing audio correctly.

(Routing directly from the game is tricky as most games stop playing audio when they go out of focus, disappearing from the graph)
