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
