@openmastering Hi, any news on this? It is fine if you do not want to do this after all, just let me know. Thanks anyway.

As scheduled, I just tagged Ildaeil's first release.
You can now enjoy your LV2 plugins everywhere! \o/

This is a mini-host acting as a plugin, allowing you to load (for now only) LV2 plugins inside any other LV2, VST2 or VST3 host.
It is actually Carla doing all the heavy lifting behind the scenes, you just don't see any of it.

No parameter automation yet, and won't focus on it for the time being. If you can live without that, maybe a nice tool for you.

Just got LV2 plugins working inside Cubase and FL Studio.
This feels sooo wrong haha πŸ˜‚

Resizing doesn't seem to work on Cubase, don't know why, but audio does which is the important part.

Anyone with some free time wants to help out test Ildaeil for the mini-host plugin?
It is an audio plugin (LV2, VST2 and VST3) that loads other audio plugins. For now it only loads internal Carla plugins and LV2, it is enough for now.
I am hoping to tag its first release tomorrow.

Code at github.com/DISTRHO/Ildaeil (clone recursively if you want to build)
If you have a GitHub account you can download precompiled binaries at github.com/DISTRHO/Ildaeil/act

If you spot a bug, report it please.
Thanks!

Ok, we are back with the peertube instance.

The livechat reports everything ok.

Starting tests: OK
Browser: OK
Backend connection: OK
Webchat activated on videos: OK
Webchat type: OK
Builtin Prosody and ConverseJS: OK

@unfa something to potentially try for next livestream. Let me know if it breaks anything else.

FYI I am updating KXStudio peertube instance, in order to try out the livestream livechat feature.
Will be temporarily unavailable!

Here comes another release.
This time it is a bugfix for our dear Carla, now at v2.4.2.
kx.studio/News/?action=view&ur

Should have been earlier, but there were a couple of things I wanted to verify first. With Carla being used now in Cardinal and Ildaeil projects, I found a couple new issues to solve which delayed it too.
But it is tagged now, enjoy! :)

@unfa Not sure if this will be readable, but I am uploading how it looks for me.
This is just a terminal with irssi which I have running remotely, so I am always logged in, thus have history. I only need a terminal and internet connection in order to go talk on IRC 😊

@unfa
Not being able to fix typos or send screenshots is quite intentional. you cant do that either with raw text emails, and people still use it on a daily basis, using references in whatever style they prefer, either inline or as [1] and [2] etc.

Now the lack of history is both good and bad IMO. Sometimes you do not actually want history, if conversations are meant to be a volatile thing.
When we really need history on IRC we just setup something dedicated for it. Either a bot or a bouncer.

@unfa it is all a question of finding the right tool for the job. on IRC you can create as many channels as you want, so for example there is and for development, and for those specific things, etc
You can DM people if you rather only talk to them of course. If there is a lot of people talking at once, just wait a bit until topic clears, and then have your turn.

Still early days, but finally got some sound out, even if choppy and unstable.

One day my full suite of tools will run on Haiku, we are not there yet, but we are one step closer.

Go Haiku! πŸš€

After Cardinal got all the attention, now come releases of the little things that got a bit side-tracked.
First, WineASIO 1.1, just to get it building and running with latest Wine.

kx.studio/News/?action=view&ur

More to come soon!

@unfa tbh all the alternatives are quite crappy.
not to mention having terrible terms of service and privacy policies.

you know that mailing lists and IRC is what linux kernel developers use, right? it has been working for them for many years

some of the things that come from the new platforms/services/etc, like emoji, images, videos, etc are things not everyone wants.

@FriendofBernie in any case, this is not the place for such discussions. open a ticket and we can talk there

@FriendofBernie @unfa you know it is in the archlinux repos already, right?

if you plan to build it yourself, better to try to understand the process a bit first. trying to build without "make" is just.. well you wont be able to build much at all of anything.

I dont use arch, I cant help there, you are on your own when building software. IMO users should not be doing that really. if you are not a developer in any way, trying to build things results in a bad time as you dont know how to fix it

@guenther ok, so just rumors as usual. would be great to not spread them around as if they were fact though. it has never been officially confirmed as far as I know
