💖 meterec-init-conf — session-file creation for meterec 💖

okay bestie, this is the meterec-init-conf page from the Meterec 0.10.0 manual, and it's literally just a lil baby batch script that sets you up. sit with me, we're doing this 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

meterec-init-conf <session-name>

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so meterec-init-conf is a batch script — no cap — and what it does is create an initial configuration file for a meterec session. that's its whole thing. it's giving "starter pack" energy 💅

⚠️ real talk tho: you gotta call this script while jackd is running. if jackd isn't up, don't come crying to me, bestie 😭

here's the tea on what the session-file it makes actually contains — it will have enough ports to match system:capture ports. and every single meterec port? connected to its corresponding system:capture and system:playback. yes queen, both. 🎀

and the defaults, let me list them because this is important:

• all ports are in REC mode
• THRU is enabled
• MUTE is disabled (so, unmuted, we're loud and proud 🔊)
• all time indexes will be cleared
• sampling rate informations will not be filled

periodt. that's the starting state. ✨

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• <session-name> — the name of your session, obvi. but listen: if a file called <session-name>.mrec already exists, it will be overwriten. like, gone. poof. so double-check before you yolo it, bestie 💀

---

🦋 FILES 🦋

• <session-name>.mrec — contains the current state of the session. and what's in that state, you ask? okay so it holds:
  • the list of ports with connections
  • record mode
  • mute state
  • name
  • takes map
  • the list of time indexes
  • the sampling rate

basically the whole vibe of your session in one file 🌈
