Thanks! I'll try that. Do you use Debian or OpenSUSE/Fedora?
I have a feeling it's probably best to use the distribution that the developers themselves use. Many people in the Linux Musicians forum seem to use Fedora or OpenSUSE. Linus Torvalds apparently uses Fedora as well. It's not as up-to-date as Arch, but there are probably fewer problems, and it's not as outdated as Debian. However, I've only ever used distributions based on Debian or Arch and have absolutely no experience with Fedora and OpenSUSE.
Back to the issue: I really like Qtractor, but I find the way it handles plugin presets a bit strange. In Ardour, the plugin window itself seems to handle the presets. In Qtractor, the preset dialog either has to be in the plugin's own interface, or you have to go through the somewhat cumbersome editing dialog, which is only accessible after right-clicking in the track and then opening a new window with the plugin parameters. Otherwise, I don't like Ardour's interface at all as much as Qtractor's, which seems much cleaner.
