I’ve found that I eliminate all my plugin problems by using an instance of JackRack for each plugin/chain I need, and routing it all through Jack. Nice.
However, when I try to reopen those sessions, Ardour doesn’t want to connect to JackRack, even if those racks are open (and the appropriate plugins are loaded). I don’t necessarily mind tweaking the plugins every time the session has loaded, but it seems clumsy.
Is there a way to take an overall ‘snapshot’ of multiple applications in such a way that it will work with (if not via) Ardour?
Please excuse me if this is a dumb question, but I don’t really see anything relevant anywhere, and I imagine this is a fairly common concern…
