====== Jack Rack ======

[[http://jack-rack.sourceforge.net/|Jack-Rack]] is a straight-forward, no-frills host for LADSPA effects. It enables you to use any LADSPA (version 1) effect unit on your system as a stand-alone application rather than as a plug-in for a DAW.

[{{ jackrack.jpg?512 | LADSPA effects in a Jack Rack. }}]

After you launch jack-rack, add effect units via the ''Add'' button in the top toolbar or its menus. Each effect creates a JACK input and output, so you can send any signal into each effect and the processed signal to anything else in your studio.

===== Sessions =====

When using Jack Rack, its sessions must be saved along with your project in order to be restored the next time you use the rack. Save sessions in ''File'' → ''Save''. A Jack Rack session contains only what effect unit is loaded into the rack, //not// the routing in and out (for the routing, the over-all JACK session must be saved with a tool like [[aj|aj-snapshot]] .
