PipeWire 0.3 – JACK compatibility layer with comparable performance to JACK2

Re: PipeWire 0.3 – JACK compatibility layer with comparable performance to JACK2
#2I tried getting it running and working two weeks ago and sometime today as well.
I had some real problems getting it working. The compilation ran without a hitch, but getting jack, alsa or pulseaudio to work wasn't really possible. Wanted zo open bug reports and read the wiki on github but they moved it to the freedesktop gitlab, but didn't update the links. Also the pages are mostly out of date or without any relevant information, but plans.
Can't wait to get a seamless setup for it, but I guess 0.3 is still too early for early adopters...

#3Jack, while incredibly powerful has been a huge hurdle for pro audio on Linux. I'm looking forward to Pipewire being the default audio interface. Hopefully it drives a revival of the Linux sound engineering community and new software projects. Specifically the lack of a user friendly loop/sample-based recording tool like Ableton Live is glaring.

#4Note this is developed by a Red Hat engineer, so this is an an open source IBM contribution to Linux.

Does it work with a launchpad? Or is there any other options that do? Ableton and virtualdj are literally the only pieces of software I keep windows for.
Edit: sidenote is there any software works with a mixtrax3

Bitwig was created by Ableton employees.

Can you describe what some of your hurdles have been? Pipewire is probably not going to solve your issues as it's not a complete replacement for JACK [0] and uses the same API anyway. Realistically, if you're writing a new DAW, you're still going to want to use the JACK API. If your problems are driver-related, that definitely won't be solved by switching to a different audio daemon.
And for the record, the open source audio community is not dead. There is activity, but you have to know where to look.

Before giving others lessons you should get your facts straight. PipeWire is meant to be a complete replacement for not only JACK, but also PulseAudio. One of it's goals is to merge the functionality of both of these and only provide a compatible API for apps as a convenience. It will be possible to write apps that don't use these. Internally it's different from JACK and PulseAudio. Other goals include better latency and better handling of dynamically plugged audio interfaces which is currently a mess with JACK. It's also an attempt at simplifying the linux audio stack.

Slowly I'm trying to get https://ossia.io there... any help appreciated :D
