I guess I'll learn how to use a compressor one day. :-) And thanks for guitarix by the way. It's really an amazing piece of software. Something like 10 years ago or more I tried some stuff but miserably failed so I kept going with this digitech RP3 my ex-guitarist gave me. (Un?)fortunately one of the knobs is getting old so I tried guitarix. And when I kicked the strings with guitarix running, man! that was a great moment of my life! Not for my neighbors I guess, but hell, that was something. There are issues, like jack refusing to work with buffers of less than 512 frames (I am not with a rt kernel) but I'll get around that. Did some people already made sorts of "minijack?" like implementing a minimal jack lib so that you can use jack programs without jack? Anyway, I'll make a little stuff and see how it goes. So many projects and so little time...
