#QMIDI ARP ARDOUR PROFESSIONAL#

The thing that started getting me personally excited about PipeWire (being able to freely route audio between PulseAudio clients is nice too of course) was that with some tuning you can get slightly lower latencies out of PipeWire than what you can get with JACK2 in synchronous mode (and of course substantially lower than what you'd get in the default asynchronous mode). And I never had any complains about those two. It's definitely not near ready to be a true plug-and-play drop-in replacement for PA+JACK yet, but after spending a bit of time setting it up (quantum size changes and creating a virtual sink so PulseAudio applications will still output in stereo even if my audio interface has 8 outputs were the fun parts) it's working as well or better than JACK2+PulseAudio for me. That it should be a drop-in replacement for the existing audio APIs so applications don't have to directly support it, at least until it takes over as the primary high level audio API at some point. Is your MIDI device (keyboard or controller) working, so no need for a2jmidid?

Ultimately, this setup allows me to run Ardour, watch youtube tutorials, and listen to reference tracks, all through my Audio Interface.

TLDR - as of today, Pipewire can completely replace my existing workflow with the exception of one bug (See BUGS below).

Like some of you, I've been following the development of Pipewire for a bit and finally decided to see if it can replace my current setup.
