Multiple SL instances?

Post by crazybilly »

Is it possible, with SL, to have multiple instances running concurrently? I'm thinking it'd make song transitions smoother if I could have the current song rolling in one instance, the cue up a 2nd song in a second instance, then route both via jack to something like Mixxx so I can cross fade between the two when we're ready to move to the next song.

I know SL's engine can run independently from the UI...but I'm pretty hazy on things beyond that. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Yes, when you start up a second one it will automatically pick a different JACK client name (numbered) and you can deal with them individually for jack port routing. If you are on a Mac, you'll have to make a copy of the application with a different name so it will actually start up the second instance instead of just focusing the first one.
