        Cadence includes the Catia and Claudia tools to manage
        connections (see
        Cadence tools tab).
        Catia is the simple version that only does the basic stuff,
        Claudia is a frontend to LADISH (a session manager) which is
        obviously a
        bit more complex.

        These tools are described into a bit more detail here:

    Sounds silly to me. Have to run yet another application to do
    something that QJackCtl does in a subwindow? Although Claudia
    sounds useful.


​It's not silly, it's just proposing a different workflow. One of the
cool things about Cadence (for me at least) you can easily set it up
to start jack by default when you login -- you don't have to open
anything in the next login, not even Cadence itself. Thanks to the
available bridges (which also can auto-start), you can also have
a2jmidi and pulseaudio jack sink starting and running automatically.

And you can have QJackCtl automatically start when you login as well
(which is what I do.) I still can't see any reason why Cadence is an
improvement.... (Not arguing, trying to understand.)

I found Cadence confusing in that area. I think it should default to maybe the simple connection tool running inside the Cadence window, with an option setting to make the advanced one the default. Or something like that.

My computers are all general-purpose ones, not audio-dedicated, so I don't want JACK starting automatically. But session management would speed things up.

One thing I liked about Musix 2 were the demos it had setup. You clicked an icon, it started up a bunch of programs (for example, JACK, Hydrogen, Qsynth or Zyn, and Rosegarden with a composition open), and everything would start playing when you hit play in RG's transport ... I think they do it through scripts?
