The idea here is to be treated as a 1st class guitarist citizen when you
want to use Guitarist on a track. Because correct me if I'm wrong, but
for now there are only two routes (wel, and a half) :
* Standalone. You launch Guitarix, : 1 st class: You load a preset and
play
* Plugin: You insert gx* LV2 plugins on your audio track: 2nd class.
You're left with dozens of colorful-named plugins, some don't play
well with others (on a sonic sense that is, and that just means they
work well) trial-and-error, harsh and noisy fiddling and no-pre-sets.
Hello Philip,
Personally I think it's the other way around, when using the standalone
version of Guitarix you're treated as a 2nd class citizen because you're
forced to use the signal flow imposed by the standalone version. When
using the LV2 plugins you're free to do whatever you want. I don't think
it's that much work to recreate the Guitarix preset you link to with
separate plugins in i.e. the LV2 version of Carla, store it and done :)
Hi Jeremy, I think you're right. I'd love to be using Guitarix this
way : In a Carla Rack, whether hosted or standalone, and save
(File/Export/) and share my Gx presets as Carla project files. It
seems to work. Quite magically, I must add ; I'll explain: When you
load a Qtractor session and just turn a Carla button, it won't
register as a change in the Qtractor file, the title bar will not
say [modified] ; only if you touch something like mute/unmute a
track or something outside of Carla, will then its plugin settings
be saved. I can tell you it's fine with me, I already have the
reflex :)
