Heute Probe #HybridEvent in einem Klamottenkonzernchen in Metzingen, ich am #Mischpult Ich habe mir eine Monitoring/Metering-Station auf meinem #UbuntuStudio #Linux eingerichtet.
Ironischerweise laufen sowohl #OpenSoundMeter als auch #AllenAndHeath #sqMixPad in #Wine . Audio I/O via USB mit einem #AllenHeathSQ #Digitalmischpult und einem #Umik1 Messmikrofon.

I would really love to use #OpenSoundMeter in #EventTech on #Linux.
The #AppImage does not work with #Pipewire properly. So I managed to fetch the source from Github and compile it. The result doesn't work properly with Pipewire either: When I set my Umik-1 USB measurement mic to "pro audio", I can't access it, and when I set ot to stereo consumer input something, OpenSoundMeter does get the input, but it doesn't do analyses. Yet the input gain meters show signal.
So I tried to go full nerd mode and work on this pull request that enables #Jack support, which translates to Pipewire pro audio: https://github.com/psmokotnin/osm/pull/60/
While this does compile, it hangs on startup if any device is set to pro audio, and doesn't find any device at all otherwise.
Eventually I installed the Windows version of OpenSoundMeter in Wine, which then successfully accesses the mic via Pulse. I feel a little sick now. (And this is not because parts of the UI are in Polish now, yet missing the font displaying it properly.)
Progress on the FOH OpenSoundMeter matter. Got me the Behringer X-Live card so recording is done straight to the SD card from the console and the USB interface is free to do OSM tasks.
Somehow this was the easiest/cheapest way of doing what i wanted. Testing turned out ok. Have to set up the OSM settings to show what i want but we're getting there.
Very excited to next live gigs with this setup. Developed some things for the "performance" part of live mixing. 🤘
(If you want a modest capable FOH guy and you even can pay for it a little, hit me up!)

I made a call for help regarding Pipewire recently. And got some retoots. Thx for that.
Sadly i have to push that issue again.
I run Open Sound Meter which comes as an AppImage.
Issue:
Somehow OSM doesn't connect to Pipewire but to the audio interface directly. So it doesn't show up in the pw patchbay.
There was a suggestion to configure pipewire-alsa. I found zero helpful information on that matter. Just the general documentation that lists a lot but tutors not so much.
Any hint appreciated.

Hey LinuxAudio fellows.
I have trouble sharing an interface input between Ardour and OpenSoundMeter (AppImage).
Debian Trixie, Pipewire is installed. Somehow only one of the two (the one i start first) is shown in the pipewire patchbay.
Noob me is stuck and needs help.

(I also wrote a post in the Ardour forum. This is just to get folks outside the Ardour community.)
...ich bin sehr froh, diese DI Box doch nochmal schnell grundlegend durchgemessen zu haben, bevor wir sie heute Abend in 5 Meter höhe in der Truss permanent verbaut hätten. Die geht mal schön wieder zurück.

EDIT: SCRATCH THAT - Messfehler. Gewichtetes "Spectrum" statt korrekterweise Magnitude. Jetzt ist das Ding wieder flach wie ein Brett. Tja. Da war ich zu voreilig.
