The best way isn't to use a separated tool at all. In my experiences there's no need to use QackCtl, when using Ardour. However, Qjackctl follows a patchbay approach and Patchage simulates messy placed gear. In the real world we are using a patchbay, to easily connect messy placed gear.In short, QjackCtl does the right thing, while IMO the approach of Patchage is (to put it politely) absurd. -- "Access to all language versions of Wikipedia was blocked in Turkey on 29 April 2017." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Government_censorship_of_Wikipedia#Turkey _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
