From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Is there something like the banana voicemeeter for pipewire?
I am currently using Helvum, which is kinda lacking a lot of the functionality.
I was experimenting with the Cadence tools from KXStudio. These are mostly made for JACK, but PipeWire has a JACK interface so it should work. It's similar to helvum, but with more options.
Not sure right now which one (maybe Carla), but one of these programs also support adding sound effect nodes that have their own GUI! You probably want to use it in multi-client or patchbay mode
Sadly cadence seems to be dead: https://github.com/falkTX/Cadence
Oh, that's sad news. These are really great tools :(
My audio set up is using jack on Ubuntu. If I were to start using pipewire, does it replace jack? Or do you use it alongside jack? I use mostly ardour, hydrogen, renoise and bitwig.
Pipewire exposes both a JACK and Pulseaudio client interface, so you don't need to run the JACK daemon anymore.
Nice! So it completely replaces jackd/qjackctl? Can it sync transports?
qjackctl will actually connect to pipewire, I use its graph window a lot to route audio when the default volume control isn't enough. But yeah it does (or can) replace jackd.
I'm not sure, I'm not a pro audio user. Sorry!
Cool, thanks for the info!
big fan of qpwgraph
I believe a problem you may encounter asking this question is the fact pipewire does most of that itself?
