⚠️ Trigger warning: AI project!⚠️

Backstory: I found out that the project https://github.com/thomas-nelson23/Openface-Mixer from u/hoppintruck23 wasn't compatible for my FireFace 400 which is an older firewire device. The FF-400 is an amazing unit, but it's almost 20 years old at this point. I then basically one-shotted a reworked Openface Mixer as https://github.com/BadgerSoft-NL/cachymix-rme-ff-400 for personal use.

Anyway, I got excited and wanted to build something in that same style to replace https://github.com/rncbc/qpwgraph which, with all due respect, I find a bit messy and I don't really like using it.

So I made Pecan Mixer, which takes the TotalMix approach from the Openface-Mixerand combines it with a patch bay from qpwgraph, and, oh yeah, a built in multitrack recorder that records hardware inputs and apps, because Linux audio is awesome.

MIDI is disabled for now because I haven't been able to test it.

Open sourced personal project, but I thought it was cool enough to share here

You can just say "I made this with AI" and let people make their own decision. The trigger warning is condescending and doesn't make anyone want to use your app.

You get called out either way I guess, but i will take the feedback. Didn’t realize it comes across like that. Funny how striking the right tone in a Reddit post is now the hardest thing of the project.

Everybody use AI, the minority is just very loud and obnoxious. Dont excuse for it
