what provides jackrouter plugin?

[John J. Williamson]

I use jacktrip with jack2 on OS X, and notice it no longer provides the jackrouter plugin. I have that plugin already, presumably as a hangover from a previous installation. It works great for wiring jacktrip directly into my DAW. But where do I tell other people to get that plugin from, now that it's not part of jack2?

Thanks

As good as it was, there is no longer development for jackrouter in
JACK2 OSX, however, the Win10 version of JACK2 ships with jackrouter.

There are a number of tools for doing what jackrouter does: blackhole,
loopback, reaper plugins, but it takes time and attention to learn.

Good luck with it!

thanks. yes i've tried blackhole etc. a little but did find the best way for a recording workflow I use was to have it showing as a device in everything. Good to know the current situation. For curiosity, I have found that spatGris2 installs the Jackrouter plugin as part of it... a strange option but I couldn't find where online to get a binary of the plugin for OS X.

JackRouter was provided with the "JackOSX" package (the latest version of that was something like 0.92_b3, shipped Jack 1.9.11). You can probably find that somewhere still.

Be aware that JackRouter does not work on Catalina (10.15) and newer OSs.

Also, I'd advise to make sure not to mix different Jack installations on a single machine. Many users experience issues (Jack not starting etc) when multiple Jack versions are accidentally installed, or if the old installation wasn't removed before installing the newer version.

regarding Reaper - I meant that it recognizes JackRouter, but only in
Windows. Sorry about that.

I use Reaper extensively and have been trying to setup large jam sessions that goes into Reaper for recording via JackRouter. The freedom to assign / mix / route signal seems very flexible except ... JackRouter appears to only provide 4 Inputs and Outputs. Is there anyway to increase this?

[John J. Williamson]

You can set up an aggregate device that includes the interface you want to use for Jack. JackRouter may then have more IOs and you can take advantage of that. I agree there's no reason for JackRouter to force the number of IOs to match physical hardware, and I don't actually think it does -- seem to recall JackPilot allowing you to setup as many virtual IOs as you wanted. But I use qjackctl now and JackRouter isn't being developed etc. as above. 

A good solution is Ardour, a DAW like reaper but whose audio tracks (in fact all its IOs) appear in the Jack graph window.
