 JACK enables complex routing of audio and MIDI data between JACK-enabled apps. This enables the user to create their own custom instruments or virtual studios by combining several JACK apps. However, having such power would be of limited use if you had to manually patch programs together every time you wanted a specific configuration. This problem is addressed by JACK session managers such as LADISH. JACK enables complex routing of audio and MIDI data between JACK-enabled apps.

-KXStudio includes an app called Claudia which uses the LADISH JACK session management standard to save and restore JACK configurations or 'LADISH Studios'. Claudia is one of two JACK patchbay apps included in KXStudio for making and removing JACK connections. The other app is Catia, a simpler program with no canvas preview and no saved connections (and available for Windows and OSX, unlike Claudia).+KXStudio includes an app called Claudia which uses the LADISH JACK session management protocol to save and restore JACK configurations or 'LADISH Studios'. Claudia is one of two JACK patchbay apps included in KXStudio for making and removing JACK connections. The other app is Catia, a simpler program with no canvas preview and no saved connections (and available for Windows and OSX, unlike Claudia).
  
 The use of Claudia and LADISH is best demonstrated with a simple example scenario. Let's say that you frequently find yourself wanting to record audio from a non-JACK app such as Firefox and you use qtractor to record the audio. To do this you must ensure JACK and Cadence's ALSA audio bridge are running and you must connect the alsa2jack capture ports to qtractor's JACK inputs. In this guide we will create a simple LADISH studio with Claudia that will start JACK and the ALSA bridges, load qtractor and connect alsa2jack to its inputs so its ready to record from Firefox at boot. The use of Claudia and LADISH is best demonstrated with a simple example scenario.

-Cadence can automatically load a Claudia studio at system launch if you like. This should probably be avoided if you are using a system in which your studio's audio device is not always connected. +To set a studio to auto-load at boot, go to the main Cadence window, check that 'Auto-start JACK or LADISH at login' is ticked, and then click on the three dots to the right of this text. Choose 'Load LADISH studio', select the just-created qtractor studio and then push OK.
