Following on from that, I find the (short) ritual I have when firing up seems
to settle me into the right frame of mind for creative work.
I hit the 'big switch' and stuff sequentially powers up. Once the desktop is
there (qjackctl set and running) I click on an icon to pull up Yoshimi, which
auto-connects main L&R audio mains. I click on another icon for Rosegarden,
which is configured to find Yoshimi and the hardware synths. It will also find
Hydrogen and Qsynth if they are running, but I don't use those very often.
This could be further automated of course, but I like it that way.

http://www.musically.me.ukSay you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
Am in the same mood, short routines that heat your mind to creativity,
nice to read you're not alone sometimes!!
