[linux-audio-user] Basic Newbie Questions - session management for qjackctl, ecamegapedal

Hi, List I'm new to Linux Audio so apologies if this is a FAQ. I've just worked out how to use my PC as an effects processor (I "play" guitar - but I am getting better). I'm using a Terratec DMX 6fire 24/96 soundcard and manage to get pretty good latency (5ms) with a stock SuSE 9.1 kernel (even running KDE!). I use qjackctl to control the jack server, and ecamegapedal (sometimes creox) to supply the effects, and I've just managed to work out how to use ecasound from the CLI to record input and output streams (to show a Winders using friend what Linux can do). There's just a couple of nagging questions that I've not managed to work out on my own. 1. Is there anyway to store and recover the jack connections so I don't have to disconnect the defaults and repatch every time I start jack. 2. Is there any way to save the effect settings after I've tweaked them to perfection in ecamegapedal, so they can be recalled (maybe I'm not using the best application). Thanks in advance -- David Haggett
