Hi all,

*

Ubuntu Studio became my main OS since 7.04 was released and even if I don't have enough time to really make music, I try when I have spare time.
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

I've been looking for a similar solution, and these look great - Anyone have real world experience with them? Are they easy to use and / or stable?

I my experience lash is more or less unusable. It reacts unforgiving if
something unpredictable happens in the session. Could be including an
app, that is not lash-aware or closing one of the apps, it recognizes so
for real work I am unable to use it.

Lash is a great idea but it suffers from the fact, that it depends on
capabilities, that must be properly implemented by the author of the
app, that it handles.

So, to save and reload a session with lash, that includes say:
Rosegarden, Ardour, AMS and Specimen, RG, Ardour, AMS and Specimen
*must* have lash-compatibility implemented properly.

Since lash is not very stable many developers fail to implement such
capabilities. It was the same with jackd 3-4 years ago: this has changed
completely so we can have hope that something similar will happen with lash.

I have made up some scripts to start sessions with multiple apps:he

http://gnupc.de/~zettberlin/law/law0.4.tar.bz2

but these are quite clumsy comrades since they are static. You can only
use them as long as you work with project-files and patches, that keep
their names (if you load a new patch to Zynadd, the script will still
load the old one next time, you start it).
So this is no solution but maybe it can be a workaround for the time
being....

good luck

I have always the same configuration on startup.

I use a jack.plumbing file called by a startup .sh script.

In most of apps, you can call a configuration file as an argument of the command line.
