Figured out how to properly route audio with jack

Using mixxx I saw you could run LV2 plugins but most of them were grayed out
I installed vmpk (almost didn't because I saw it came with jackd and qjackctl, Jack was giving me trouble before)
Then I installed carla
It lets you manage all your plugins even the yabridge wine ones.
in qjackctl settings I set the midi driver to seq
I was scared of jack before because it made my audio stop working and it was annoying having to run qjack ctl and wire everything up just to get basic audio.
The 2 major benefits, low latency, and multiple connections at once.
Unfortunately Renoise line in recording doesn't seem to give you access to sends.
I managed to get reaper working though with audiothing's outerspace and orilreverb on send tracks
controlled using my acorn midi keyboards knobs
I was learning how to use loops in mixxx. I didnt need to midi learn them to a controller because
They are already on the stock qwerty keyboard
Im trying to make a habit of looping in tracks instead of drop mixxing everything.
On the Hercules Djay Control Compact I remapped the gain knobs to control filters instead, First I had them controlling the delay sends, but then I mapped them to the nanokontrol2 instead.
It Opens up a lot of possibilities being able to integrate those 32 bit windows vsts in wine and native 64bit linux plugins
Its so cool having an individual track for each effects output instead of just a stereo mix
qjackctl, carla, mixxx, reaper.
all open on seperate tabs in i3wm. The main thing is having everything midi mapped and saved as a template

getting fl studio working with jack instead of pulse

install catia it handles bridging between pulse and jack no need for using qjackctl you can have it run on login. Finally fixes the problem where I try to have youtube in the background and it wouldn't audio while FL was open.
