General Reverb using Gverb and Jack Rack

1. Click on Menu > Multimedia > Jack Rack
   .
2. In Jack Rack's menu bar click on Add > G > Gverb
   
3. In the Gverb screen click on Enable
   
4. Now click on File > Save As
   
5. In the Save As dialogue screen enter the name gverb.rack
   
6. Click on Save
7. Now minimize Jack Rack and open Qjackctl's Connections window (right-click on the qjackctl icon on the bottom task bar and select Connections or maximize Qjackctl and click on the Connections button)
8. Disconnect Linuxsampler output from the system input
9. Connect the LinuxSampler output (on the left panel) to the jack rack input (on the right panel). Then connect the jack rack output (on the left panel) to the system input (on the right panel) [you can connect them by drag-and-dropping... click on LinuxSampler, keep holding the mouse button down, move the mouse curser over jack_rack and release the mouse button]
   
10. Close the Connections window and maximise Jack Rack
11. Play your VPO and move the gverb sliders until you have a pleasant sounding reverb
12. See http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=GVerb for more information on gverb settings
13. Re-open Qjackctl's Connections screen and re-connect LinuxSampler directly to system (while leaving the connection to jack_rack active). Experiment with Gverb settings again for more advanced effects :-)
14. Click on File > Save to save the changes
15. Next time you will just need to click on File > Open
    
16. Select gverb.rack and click on Open
    
17. Then you will need to open Qjackctl Connections and re-connect LinuxSampler with Jack Rack and Jack Rack with System (We'll be convering Persisting Connections a little later)
