I'm perhaps speaking out of turn, or addressing a different issue, but I think one reason to have virtual patch cords is immediacy of use. Much as I like guitar amps to have a bunch of tone-shaping knobs, I almost always end up using my pignose guitar amp, which has only one knob - volume. For myself, the lack of options allows me to be more immediately expressive. There are many times I believe I'd appreciate a similar lack of options in software solutions. -- daneasley@xxxxxxxxx http://burntpossum.com _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
