Thanks for the answer, Brian.  Unfortunately, having tried this I found 
Jack-Rack to be a bit resource hungry and I got a few XRUNs even before I 
started recording.  I tried both using jack-rack as the track input and as an 
insert, and the result was about the same.

And, of course there is the fact that some of the sounds I've made have 
plugins both before and after the fader, which would mean 2 copies of 
jackrack.
