You cannot seamlessly exchange the plugins and other structure between mono and stereo strips and they are also part of the track. > A simple solution would be to have a routing option between the track > outputs and strip inputs.

Personally I think it would already help a lot if the strip output of stereo strips could be assigned individually instead just to consecutive channel pairs. > This would also provide a simple solution to a requirement I face all > the time: routing a recorded track to more than one strip. Well, you can route it to a bus and from there to several strips. > And having the bare track outputs available on Jack outputs would > facilitate using an external (HW or SW) mixer. Again, should work with a bus. I admit not having tried it. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
