Hello Rui,

thanks for your fast answer. Some of the things we asked for are really only for eye-candy and for comfortable. Thats all not really necessary. Maybe it would be nice for better looking. But as i said not necessary.

yes, the drag and drop works, but only with marked files, not with directory’s. If i want drag and drop an directory with sub directories, nothing happens. If i drag and drop many files it works. We have over 10 gb free loop samples sorted in directories with sub directories, it would be need weeks to create the groups and subgroups and sort in all the loopfiles. sorry, is it impossible to implement for drag and drop the autocreate of groups and subgroups from the directory-list? or a function to import a directory-list?

ok, can i use more then one plugins? maybe for guitars (first for example, guitarx -> reverb-plugin -> compressor -> and so on...)? i dont understand the routing the people always talk about. is jack the thing i must use to route or should i use that intern in qtractor? in our church we have a mixer with inserts, but i never used it? the people always talk to use this for effects, and not only for one, maybe for two or so on. this point is not so important.

As i said, the most of our wishes is only for eye-candy. But the most important point is the import of our samples. Thank you for your great work with qtractor and the other projects (we want use in future qsynth and qsampler).

best regards, Gerhard

PS: For what are the functions "instruments" and "controlers"? I dont understand these things.
PPS: Some day i want to use tractor fro our live worship in church, so i can use loops, samples or drumparts and so on...
