Ingen works well on my setup, but the idea of adding
midi and audio
tracks as 'plugins' sounds rather appealing. (Would be cool to simply
add tracks, and have them autoorganise into a neat arrangement in the
GUI. Starting from the top down?)
Given the multi layer framework of Ingen, i would think there are many
advantages to this.
(Strings on patch layer 1, Woodwinds on patch layer 2, etc..)
It's extremely unlikely anything would be better than the existing
graphviz arrangement (short of some kind of limitations on routing
between tracks to enforce this 'layer' model which is completely out of
the question for obvious reasons)
The whole point/advantage of using something like Ingen for this is no
specifics need to be built in to the system. This will be really cool
for some things and open up new possibilities... but probably not very
good for traditional recording regardless. There's always Ardour if you
want a traditional timeline, and the two play nicely together.
Would future Ingen include a LASH component, either
working with the
current LASH app
Yes, just havn't gotten around to it. The release will have LASH
support.
or as 'the' LASH app in its own right, with
the ability to save
settings from LASH capable external apps?
... and a kitchen sink too! Most definitely not ;)
