I have been messing around with the XML of JACK-RACK's patch files (to play with
smudge/clean filters in git to store them in my source control system), and noticed
something weird:
<channels>2</channels>
<samplerate>48000</samplerate>
Huh? Jack-rack saves the sample rate of a patch? Why?
I wonder what that's for? If I open a patch that I saved when using my internal
HDA-Intel card at 48000Hz, then open it when using my FastTrack Pro (only does 44.1Khz),
will Jack-Rack waste cycles doing all kinds of crazy sample-rate conversions in order to
match what its saved file told it to do?
Perhaps more insanely, do I need to keep separate, parallel versions of all my Jack-Rack
patches-- the only difference being the sample rate-- for each of the audio interfaces I
use?
