My audio set up is using jack on Ubuntu. If I were to start using pipewire, does it replace jack? Or do you use it alongside jack? I use mostly ardour, hydrogen, renoise and bitwig.

Pipewire exposes both a JACK and Pulseaudio client interface, so you don’t need to run the JACK daemon anymore.

Nice! So it completely replaces jackd/qjackctl? Can it sync transports?

qjackctl will actually connect to pipewire, I use its graph window a lot to route audio when the default volume control isn’t enough. But yeah it does (or can) replace jackd.

Can it sync transports?

I’m not sure, I’m not a pro audio user. Sorry!

Cool, thanks for the info!
