@alien@fosstodon.org You're talking current? I've been using pipewire with pipewire's jack for the past year or so, and I love it. I think you still need jack installed, though? It's just hanging out. I'm not actually running it when I need it. To be fair, I'm not doing anything super-crazy with it, either. YMMV. Some people still really like jack.

@alien@fosstodon.org Pipewire is pretty on top of stuff, it seems, so I would aim to try that first. Pain point for me has been that you deal with Pipewire at user level, rather than a system service, so some documentation has become dated, all over the place.

@alien@fosstodon.org Do you need either? When using a daw, the daw pretty much takes care of everything for you - mixing, recording, etc. So why would you need or want an external service adding extra latency? Can't your daw talk directly to alsa hw: devices?
