Audio.nix

Assorted audio packages for Nix(OS)/Linux.

• Bitwig Studio Beta versions
• Neuralnote
• Paulxstretch
• Atlas 2
• Audio Assault AmpLocker
• Some other stuff

Mostly things I use myself, provided as-is. Please see here before opening tickets.

Usage

You can run standalone versions of most Bitwig and most plugins:

• nix run github:polygon/audio.nix#neuralnote
• nix run github:polygon/audio.nix#paulxstretch
• nix run github:polygon/audio.nix#bitwig-studio5-latest

To use the plugins from within Bitwig, you want to install them into your environment. Add the package to your flake inputs:

audio.url = "github:polygon/audio.nix";

Then add the overlay to your system configuration.

nixpkgs.overlays = audio.overlays.default;

Then install as normal:

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    neuralnote
    bitwig-studio5-latest
];

Don't mix stable and unstable within your audio environment (DAW + plugins) as it tends to just not work well. If plugins are not loaded, you can check with ldd if dependency and especially glibc-versions are the same.

(Non-)Support

I started this mainly to improve my own audio environment. Since some recent additions may provide some value to others, I decided to make this public. I already spend a lot of my spare time on this instead of making music so I will not provide support unless the issue also affects me. Everything is provided as-is.

Pull-requests are welcome.
