Maurizio, you're a hero! Three monitors! But it does sound like two is
okay as well. Also, Patchage looks interesting, what does it offer over
qjackctl?
Two is fine, but I really miss the third sometimes. Btw, just yesterday I
had to rent what was going to be the new third display, because a friend
got his second monitor burn too, after his first one broke some months
ago... So, it could be worse ;-)
I really prefer Patchage over QjackCtl's patchbay (actually, I don't even
use QjackCtl anymore) because it allows you to have everything on one
viewport, Jack audio, and both ALSA and Jack midi, and place everything
where you need, allowing you a better graphical organization of the
patchbay. When you have projects with more than 30-40 ports, that could be
a mess in QjackCtl.
(xfce) from my ratpoison / ion3 days. I guess I just
like to have most
things in front of me, and I can always Alt-Tab or use the taskbar to get
to another program. Let's face it, 90% of our lives are in the web browser
when we're not doing audio, right? ;)
Well, does programming count? :-)
PS This is the first time I've participated meaningfully on a mailing list
for many years, and in the meantime, top-posting has
become the norm.
Really hard to quote your posts, sorry. :(
I know, I don't like that too, and I usually do that for work messaging or
when my answer is clear enough without the need of citing the original
message.
Beyond that, I still love old-style bottom posting.
Cheers,
Maurizio
