Ardour is great, but I really miss a minimalistic jack-enabled mixer : little resources required, little space on my desktop, etc... > Second: JackMix [1] Jackmix is a great project. I gave it a try in version 0.0.1, but it all went bad at some point (segfault or whatever, I don't remember)... I promise I'll send a bug report next time ;) These knob buttons on version 0.0.3 look good :) By the way, since I see you talking about LADSPA plugins and other advanced features, I'd personnally greatly appreciate an option to hide them, as well as the aux buttons, to save desktop space. Usually I only need volume levels, and I use jack-rack for additional effects on a few tracks. Actually, I've used jackEQ a lot (http://jackeq.sf.net), it's pretty _stable_, but you're limited to four channels. I really need a customizable number of channels. Recently, trying the Hydrogen drum-machine (http://hydrogen.sf.net), I just caught myself thinking : "that is the nicest mixer that has ever run on my desktop". The buttons look and ergonomy are amazing, the small led meters are _smooth_, and the whole takes _little_ desktop space. The way it handles effects plugins is efficient too, I think. I believe, one should extract this mixer from the Hydrogen project, and make it a standalone Jack app. I didn't look at the code, but it shouldn't be that hard, no ? -- og
