I usually launch these softs: QJackCtl, Patchage, JackRack, JackEQ, Hydrogen and Ardour. And I have a M-Audio Jam Lab to record my bass and guitar. I don't have any knowledge in how to make music on a computer but I try... :)   My question is: I would like to find a way to launch in a row all the softwares I use and keep the settings I used for each piece I worked on. The best way would be to have a patchage-like application that could allow me to save a profile for each piece. For instance, I would work on a piece with Jack (of course), Patchage, Jack Rack (with some LADSPA loaded), JackEQ and Ardour. When I stop, I could save in a file all the settings used for that piece. Later, I could just launch that file, and it would launch all the softs used with all the settings (Effects in Jack Rack, levels in JackEQ, Ardour, connections in Patchage, ...). Of course, I don't have any skill in dev, and at the moment I just made a .sh that launch QJackCtl, wait for 5 sec (so the server can start) then the other softs. But of course the settings are not saved.   Do you think something like that could be done?   Cheers,   Greg <hr />Windows Live Messenger 2008 vient de sortir, discutez avec vos amis en vidéo ! <a href='http://www.windowslive.fr/majmessenger.asp' target='_new'>Téléchargez gratuitement Messenger 2008</a></body> </html>
