===== Sessions ===== | ===== Sessions ===== | ||
- | There is not necessarily a way to save a session file when launching DSSI plugins with ''jack-dssi-host'' (it depends on the design of the plugin) so for some DSSI plugins, it's best to leave them as plugins. Otherwise, save session files in a directory associated with your project, and remember to load them back in when resuming work on your project later. | + | There is not necessarily a way to save a session file when launching DSSI plugins with ''jack-dssi-host'' (it depends on the design of the plugin).
