I haven't try other solution, so my report may be partial. For me, the most important feature of LADISH is the ability to create a Studio, defining apps to start and relevant jack connections. So, when I load a studio it recall all applications and connections. In the next release I think LADISH will save also position and workspace for applications. In my opinion, ladish lacks some features, but I hope the developers will work on this... may be in the future I can able to help them. Qjackctl Patchbay don't runs applications and don't reset active connections (useful to switch from session to others). But I love the creations of socket/plugs that permits to show, for example, all used I/O system port So, my report is: Patchbay: ========= == Pro == - simple to install and use - can define socket/plug for only used port - can define symbolic name for ports and apps == Cons == - don't reset connections changing patch - don't starts/stop applications, but only connections - 2-panel gui may be limiting in complex situations LADISH: ========= == Pro == - can run applications and connections - graphical connections is intuitive (gladish) - seems to be an alive project (but I also appreciate Rui Nuno Capela Q-projects!) == Cons == - in early stage, and not pkgs present for all distributions (but is simple to compile) - need to know command line invocation to add an applications to LADISH - can't define alias for jack connections or subset of port like patchbay (my be rooms feature solve this, but I have not investigated) - all apps are supported (level 0) but better integration require application compatibility - some (rare in my experience) applications have some problems - es new guitarix version (...) My vote is for LADISH :) Ivan

I like the clear way jack_session manager handle the recreation of a session from the developer site of view. :-) Indeed, the list of supporting apps is short for now, but I guess that will change when jack_session manager will be released with the next jack release. greats hermann
