Hi everyone,
I'm still looking for reviews for a few packages.
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2430073
(fedora-jam-audio-config - easy pipewire/pipwire-jack configuration)
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2430099
(plasma-pipewire-settings - a KDE PLasma widget for changing some
pipewire settings)
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2430546
(gnome-shell-extension-pipewire-settings) *Taken, but keeps stalling*
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2431132 (cpupower-gui -
like the cpupower command line tool but a GUI)
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2431891 (patchance - a
graphical patchbay in your computer for pipewire and jack)
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2432614 (dragonfly-reverb
- a high-quality reverb audio plugin bundle)
Please help me out by grabbing one or more of these. Music and audio
production is great on Fedora, let's help make it better. :)
On another note, I realize I was gone for 5 years while focusing on my
job and Ubuntu Studio. I realize that many of you might not be OK with
me leaving and coming back. I've had discussions with JT (q5sys, current
Jam maintainer) about my return, and he has welcomed me back to help
out. So far, I've revived raysession from zero functionality to full
functionality. I hope to do more to make Fedora a premiere audio and
music production platform.
I don't see myself going anywhere this time for multiple reasons. I'll
be heading to SCALE 23x in Pasadena this March. While I will be there to
help with the Ubuntu booth, I hope to meet up with some Fedora folks too!
Thanks for everything and thanks in advance,
Erich

Hi all,
I'm making an effort to modernize a lot of the audio/music items,
particularly Fedora Jam, to be up-to-date on some of the latest
technologies.
When last I left off with Fedora Jam back in 2021, most of its
capabilities hadn't depended on PipeWire yet and were done using a
combination of PulseAudio and JACK, bridged using a utility called
Studio Controls written by my friend Len Ovens, originally from Ubuntu
Studio Controls.
Fast-forward 5 years and PipeWire has obsoleted Studio Controls and
any and all bridging. However, musicians and audio engineers alike
still depend on a few things, including lowering the audio latency.
This is accomplished primarily with a combination of these items:
1) lowering the buffer (quantum)
2) raising the sample rate
3) using certain kernel boot parameters
4) switching the kernel to a low-latency or real-time kernel.
#4 above is moot for Fedora. However, #3 can be accomplished with a
GUI utility (really some Zenity scripts) I wrote for Ubuntu that I
have forked. It is available here:
https://pagure.io/fedora-jam-audio-configuration
While Fedora Jam Audio Configuration can accomplish #1 and #2, I found
an extension for GNOME Shell and a widget for KDE Plasma that make #1
and #2 simple to accomplish. They have both been packaged as well.
So, if I could get one or a few people to review the following
packages, that would be wonderful:
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2430073
(fedora-jam-audio-config)
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2430099
(plasma-pipewire-settings)
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2430546
(gnome-shell-extension-pipewire-settings)
I would normally volunteer to review a package for someone, but I'm
5-years rusty and, as long as these packages are up-to-snuff, then I'd
be more confident to begin reviewing other packages again. This is, of
course, unless someone can convince me that my packaging is decent and
that I shouldn't feel less-than-qualified. :)
Anyhow, thanks for your help in advance! I'm looking forward to being
part of this community again!
Erich
