@torsten_torsten it is not, it can sorta load multiple files but not in the way you expect.

it can play all loaded files concurrently but you have to start/stop/loop/whatever them independently, and there's only one waveview displayed at a time

@openmastering well "just" bridge in carla with that and we have access to pretty much all plugins we want.
Carla has a native API that allows to be reused inside other tools, Zrythm is already making use of this.

So many possibilities, so little time...

Rezound with a small update for Qt5 support looks quite decent.

Maybe a good alternative to Audacity?

@gcrkrause @interru @unfa @sudo IMO bitcoin is inherently flawed because of the power inbalances it creates.
we go from a system of inequality to another one, this new one just happens to give power to big tech companies that have big servers at their disposal.

@consint they are still closed-source though, so no lv2 or arm versions possible, or any tweaks at all.

Last month there was no "kxstudio monthly report", due to special circumstances not having a whole lot of stuff to mention/talk about.
But no news is bad news, kinda... So I published a mini-patreon update just now https://www.patreon.com/posts/51164697

@unfa yes indeed, we do not want to be the ones spreading misinformation. on the upside, I got win32 and win64 builds of audacity building already. submitted the relevant mingw fixes upstream in a PR.
Will take care of macos builds soon.
So we are ready for the worst-case scenario.

Can you imagine Audacity using Qt and Carla's custom theme?

I guess it would look a little something like this...

🧙 🚀

works on a real windows too, trying quickly in a VM with a custom theme.

btw, I did not know before, but wxwidgets supports Qt... that leads to some interesting ideas 🤔

Progress on custom Audacity build.
win64 binary building and running via Wine for quick testing (yes, cross-compiled mingw64 stuff from Linux)
Recording works, LV2 plugins are available to use, which is nice to see.
Still on the tweaking of build system. Will try win32 builds next, then macOS-universal.

@ilvipero that is fair and some are ok with it, sure.

I am personally against it, I think analytics is the first step for many bad things. What is acceptable today would be unthinkable just a few years ago. All driven by corporations and/or profits, Audacity had no tracking of any kind for its 20 year lifetime.
And anyway a network layer has no place in an offline audio editor.

@unfa tantacrul mentioned this morning that muse group is the one pushing for analytics, that it is a requirement for their products.

So a fork will take place for sure.
I began doing some tests for building audacity here, will continue more today.

Telemetry tracking coming to an audio editor near you!

Their decision is official.
(Not hot-linking to PR in question on purpose)

> We're closing this PR. We've taken on board 'no Google' and 'no Yandex' and Muse are now looking for a good alternative (thanks to those who recommended other open source solutions by the way). Please understand that this will take a little time to organize and a concrete plan will be published soon - at any rate this week.

@rghvdberg@sonomu.club better now?

the updated link is now https://peertube.kx.studio/videos/watch/83c2cfdb-012d-421d-b4fb-2dd585a6d0a5

but seeing as there is no notification for when a live stream starts, I might go to the path of using non-unique URL (which then in this case does announce it)

@falktx @rghvdberg@sonomu.club does this one work?

@rghvdberg@sonomu.club no announcement. Time to create new stream entirely

@rghvdberg@sonomu.club I think I would have to recreate the stream? I will stop the stream and start again as a test. I want the stream link to remain the same though.

@porru yeah I saw this before, doesnt it require setting up an XMPP account to use?

And well...

> This mode is not yet compatible with a Docker Peertube installation

so no-go for my current setup as it is.

and well, LiveChat could be just an iframe to some IRC room or something
