That sounds awesome

PS, the excess 'Custom' entries in cadence, went away after a reboot.

Thanks so much man :D I'm curious to see how it goes... as far as I can tell, the 8 channel loopback should work on a machine with 2 channel hardware. Users of 8 channel hardware should probably know how they'd like to patch it up (multi-out vs 5.1 vs 6.2 vs 7.1 etc) so I think that aside from the f...

Thanks mate that helped :) Okay so I have it working. How to implement it is a bit tricky (because of the different hardware and use-cases of multi-channel cards). As it turns out, yes there are 8 channels of playback created by default. However for the input, it only creates two. That's solved in a...

Sounds like it's time for me to learn the cadence codebase and brush up on my python ;) What's the 'right' way to do this? Do we put an option in the cadence UI, to set the number of ports to create and connect... or do we detect the number of ports available (on the loopback side or the jack side?)...

This is interesting to see... This thread got me to take a look at how to disable pulse... well that was really easy hahaha I literally just had to click a button. I'm becoming a kxstudio fanboy. So, awesome, I'm pulse-free... But how might I get the loopbacks to represent an 8 channel (7.1 or indep...

Yeh I'm very sorry, I quite misunderstood the topic and unwittingly made a suggestion that even I don't agree with. Let's forget I said anything about a3.
shameface.

I installed redshift, tried to run it but it segfaults. I had a feeling it was because the command needs args, and I wanted KDE integration anyway, so I installed the plasma widget for it. It still wanted my coordinates entered manually, so I googled it, entered it, and hit the switch... Oof, it did...

Progress is good :) I'm really curious to see a screenshot of your audio routing - in other words, claudia, while you're doing the recording. I am pretty sure you are recording from jack, but much of the audio, being in the browser, is using pulse. The routing might be a bit weird. I know my meterbr...

No it doesn't. Err, yer it does. It assumes that there's any natural light or artificial light or any light aside from the monitor in my studio, that my geographic location effects my ambient lighting, etc. All quite fair assumptions for normal cases. I am not normal. Still, I take your advice seri...

Thanks mate. You gave me the confidence that maybe it actually was a bug, and not pilot error... So I found it - a corrupt KDE plasma workspace. Here's the workaround to create a new one:

True! I get it now

Great! see the thing about CLI is that there's little way to discover these things on your own without someone just telling you that a command exists (or basically coming across it in documentation). It was months before someone told me I could use TAB to autofill in CLI! That changed my life becau...

a3 just crashed on me for the first time this week... I know it's not officially stable, but IMO it's ready for use.

I actually had the "explain the kernel and alsa and pulse and jack to someone who knows nothing about linux" talk, just the other night. My target audience was a computer-savvy guy who is a traktor on windows user. The key to explaining it was to arm him with key information, and show him ...
