Radium on NixOS
Radium (a music creation tool, DAW) derivation for NixOS, fruit of a week of labour…
How2UseThis
Clone the repository into /etc/nixos/. Next, in
environment.systemPackages or your user packages, put this:
(callPackage ./radium-nixos/package.nix { })By default, it builds the demo version of Radium. How to build the full version is left as an exercise to the reader (it's very simple).
Common issues
When launching Radium, this is an error you might get:
Plugin Ladspa / Calf MultiChorus LADSPA not found. Replacing with a Pipe.
Just ignore this. I don't know why it doesn't find it, Calf plugins are bundled in the derivation. Second problem:
Unable to set real time priority. Error code: 1073741824. (EPERM: 1) (errno: 0) (strerror: "Success")
You should:
- Quit Radium
- Stop Jack
- Start Jack
- Start Radium
On Linux, you might also want to check your system configuration.
To fix this, do `jack.jackd.enable = true` to your configuration.nix. If you use PipeWire, the JACK emulation doesn't work for Radium. You need to use the actual JACK daemon.
