I am tired of always having to patch all my Hydrogen tracks whenever I need to record my drums again. I am sure there has to be a way to store all those connections so they can be recalled later. I have tried with the patchbay, but it seems to be doing some strange nasty tricks.
I tried that and it didn´t work, but as I was thinking about, I realised Hydrogen preferences about starting on the last session were ticked. I thought this could have something to do with it. I unticked it, and tried again following your suggested order, and it worked!!
Well, to be honest, I think it has worked once or twice, but not sure why. I keep thinking the order in which I open these apps matters, but I am not sure which order is the right one. Just to let you know, I usually start JACK first, start it, then open Ardour. At that point, I open Hydrogen. Then I go back into JACK and click on the connections button, and I don’t see any connections between Ardour and Hydrogen, even if I created them all in my previous session.
It seems strange to me, but I can’t find any button or option in JACK to store that configuration. Based on your comments, tho, it should do it automatically.
Not sure, man, but what a pain to create all connections every time I need to record…
