Ardour 2.8 uit voor Mac (verbeterde AudioUnit plugin ondersteuning)

[rooz]

Tof, Ardour 2.8 voor Mac is uit. Nu met verbeterde ondersteuning voor AU plugins e.g. het is nu mogelijk om AU plugin presets op te slaan en weer te laden.

Het download systeem is iets gewijzigd. Wil je volledige AU ondersteuning dan dien je een bedrag van minimaal 1$ te doneren. Voor een versie zonder deze functionaliteit hoef je niets te betalen. Maar het mag duidelijk zijn dat een reeele donatie zeer welkom is voor het project Ardour.

Probeer Ardour eens, zeker voor het maken van opnames is het een kwalitatief hoogstaande DAW, ik ben benieuwd naar de ervaringen.

AudioUnit state & preset handling

Ardour now saves and restores AudioUnit plugin parameters, and can save/load AU Presets, and share these with other software on OS X. We will get new OS X binaries online very soon, but please note that this functionality will not be available without either being or becoming an existing Ardour financial supporter. An upgrade that includes all other fixes and features mentioned here will be available for free if you insist on not supporting the software. This will all take shape once we switch to the new website which I hope will take place next week (March 30th-April 3rd).
Fixes

* Correct handling of Shift- shortcuts on OS X
* Fix confusion with Ctrl/Cmd/Option on OS X
* Cmd-, now shows Preferences window on OS X
* Removing a track/bus that was visible in the editor mixer strip causes the editor mixer strip to move to the next track/bus
* Default click output is dual mono (2 outs), not mono (1 out)
* Fix ordering of editor & mixer displays when order in the other window is changed and sync-editor-mixer-order is enabled.
* If we attempt to move beyond the current limit of the horizontal scrollbar, change its upper limit so that we keep scrolling (fixes a bug with playhead tracking beyond the current session end)
* Standardize sizing of ComboBoxSelectors throughout the GUI
* Fix crash when renaming a track after deleting a plugin that had a visible GUI/editor window
* Make "consolidate range" and "bounce range to region list" not apply processing to the original audio.
* Added variants of "consolidate range" and "bounce range" which do apply processing.
* Fix potential for clipping when use Transpose or TimeFX
* Standardize some menu actions across CD and loop/punch rulers. also allow right-click drag to create ranges, which may be more discoverable than ctrl-click drag because the other rulers already use right-click for creating markers
* "Mute region" shortcut operates on all selected regions
* Fixes for crossfade clicks
* Fixes for gcc 4.4
* Fix crash when sending MIDI feedback with MTC enabled
* Allow dragging of automation lines
* Preserve sufficient significant digits when saving automation events to disk
* Quantize shuttle speed changes to whole semitones when shuttle in semitone mode
* Use region sync points correctly for grid and playhead motion
* Fix subtle bug when playing plugin automation that could sometimes lead to crashes and memory corruption
* Use Vamp 2.0 and Rubberband 1.3 (includes an important fix for a potential audible issue when stretching)
* Fix freeze progress bar display
* Fix potential crash caused by multithreaded execution of plugins while "freezing" a track
* Make name-click to toggle plugin active state show up via the bypass button state in the GUI
* be willing to load some additional types of AU plugins, including AUNetSend and AUNetReceive
* Context menu-driven operations on ruler bars now cause things to be added in the right place (e.g. new markers)
* Fix a crash that occured while dragging a region after a split
* Do not cache JACK port buffer addresses, to permit operation with experimental versions of Jack2.

Ik ben erg benieuwd naar ervaringen van mensen. Ik zou zeggen proberen die nieuwe Ardour 2.8! Het is een project wat zeker een kans verdient in mijn ogen. Een goede DAW, werkt met alle hardware die door Coreaudio wordt ondersteund en als gebruiker kun je relatief veel invloed uitoefenen op de werking van verschillende features!

Laat even weten wat je ervaringen zijn... ik abonneer me op dit topic...

* fix details of file formats when exporting CD markers
* fix marker bars, canvas and playhead getting out of sync with
timeline

with trying to save after a JACK shutdown.

Ardour 2.8.2 is uit, met name voor Mac users interessant. Linux gebruikers hoeven niet up to daten

Ardour 2.8.2 contains a fix for a another critical bug on OS X that
causes ardour to crash when deleting plugins with Carbon-based user
interfaces. There are also two other small fixes - logarithmic plugin
parameters can now be modified sensibly, and when importing files
using the "copy files to session" option, an existing BWF timestamp is
no longer lost. All OS X users are recommended to upgrade immediately
- for those who have paid for any previous 2.8-series version, it is a
free upgrade. Linux users may choose to wait for 2.8.3 in a couple of
weeks which will contain a dozen or so other bug fixes. Thanks to
Thomas Vecchione for help with debugging the crash, and Nick Murtagh
for those two other fixes.
