I have a #Pipewire question: I wanted to use a couple of meters through Carla, when listening to music on the Gnome Music app, and it seems, that everytime I change my tune, Pipewire drops the connection from Music to Carla, and resets to the speaker instead.
Would it be possible to lock the connection between Music and Carla when both apps are open?
@mosgaard hmm well one way would be to set up EasyEffects, and connect your meters to its sink
I think you can also do something like this with qpwgraph but I'm not sure I really understand how it works
@mosgaard (edit: not as simple as I thought) if it's just meters, you could connect them to your output's monitors, if your output has monitors and you're not playing anything else at the same time
@jmorahan good idea putting meters on the monitor.
I just checked out Easy Effects and if it could do VST3s, that would be awesome. Seems the difference between Easy Effects and Carla, is that Easy Effects creates a dedicated sink, which keeps the connection to ex. the music app, even if a number is changed.
If I route from the music app to Carla (or Bitwig/Ardour), it loses the connection when a new track starts playing.
I have to look more into this. It's interesting.
@mosgaard
Helvum might let you do it, it's a visual of Pipewire's ...pipes that you can drag around
