[LAU] Multitrack recording with MIDI sync?

[Julien Claassen]

Hello Mario!
   It gets difficult, but I think not unmanageable. My tools of choice for that 
experiment have been: midish, Nama/Ecasound, jmc (Jack Midi Clock) and klick 
(jack-aware metronome). There was j2a_midi_bridge and a2j_midi_bridge, but I 
think JACK might now include software ALSASEQ ports. So you could dispend with 
a2j_midi_bridge.
   So you see, that you have a jackmidi->alsa_seq->jack_midi passthru 
connection. You start jack_midi_clock and then klick. Klick will give the the 
tempo in JACK. Because jack_midi_clock syncs the midi clock to jack_transport, 
which - I think - is the most reliable way of doing it. Then you can use 
midish, with its master clock set to the jack_midi_clock port. Then in midish 
you can record MIDI and control its start stop by Nama/Ecasound. Of course for 
the original recording just midish without all the other software will do.
   Does anyone have a more modern idea on that? I think jack_midi_clock isn't 
available anymore. I have a package. But my site is down right now. I'll look 
it up and mail it again. I can also send you my script starting all of the 
"backend" software in one go, using GNU screen.
   Warm regards
             Julien
