That’s fantastic news! Thanks to the entire team for the continued hard work on Ardour. @paul I hope you don’t mind that I bring up the following suggestion again now that Ardour 7 is released: On Ardour's home page, add Broadcast and Podcast Producers

Greatly disappointed.

  • Doesn’t work at all on Jack (crashes Jack upon starting an empty project)
  • Slaving Ardour tempo to external MIDI clock still isn’t working
    • When connecting the MIDI source of the audio device to the Ardour Clock In destination, the program crashes
#14

I use Ardour with JACK all day every day, so “doesn’t work at all on JACK” is not accurate, nor useful. If you’d like us to investigate, please read https://ardour.org/debugging_ardour.html

I did check MIDI clock slaving several months ago, but it has been a while since then. I can check it again, but it will take me a while to get setup - very few of my MIDI devices generate MIDI clock.

As I chose to switch from the subscription model, to a one-time $45 payment, I no longer have access to debuggable versions of Ardour, and are not able contribute bug reports on the latest build. I I’m still in possession of Ardour-7.0.pre0.2610, and can contribute bug reports based off this build.

#17

$45 should give you access to debug builds from nightly.ardour.org. Please let me know if that is not the case.

#18

Seems like all versions other than GNU/Linux x86_64 specifically are available. But that’s the one I need. I sent an email to help@ardour.org.

#19

I am help@ardourorg :slight_smile:

The linux x86_64 build will likely be back tomorrow. The disk on the build system filled up last night (thanks, PulseAudio log messages … 190GB thereof!)

Congratulations on the release of Ardour 7.

I note that the implementation of the Cue functionality is different from Mixbus 32C in some ways: there’s 16 rows instead of 8, and it’s a separate window.

I’m also intrigued by “I/O Plugins”. I don’t see anywhere on the GUI for these, but I’m assuming this is academic at this point anyway. Would these be to support what I would call “embedded hardware plugins” like the ones built into devices like the UAD Apollo audio interfaces?

Obviously, such a thing would require software/driver support.

Cheers,

Keith

  1. The only difference with the Mixbus 8 cue functionality is the number of slots.

  2. I/O plugins really have nothing to do with embedded hardware plugins. They are normal plugins like the ones you would place in/on a track or bus, but they run outside of the context of tracks and busses. This gives them certain possibilities that are not possible with plugins running in a track or a bus.

#22

That’s very odd. I’ve just launched another old project and found the Cue is inline, as I was expecting. But I have a project where it always opens a new window.

#23

That’d be Menu > Window > I/O Plugins.

The main motivation is to provide additional I/O. Notably network streams via NDI. Since the feature was made for an Ardour derivative: Mixbus VBM - Harrison Audio Consoles I would no call it academic. However integration in Ardour is not yet completely fleshed out, but some of work has already been done for 7.1.

I/O Plugins can serve as alternative to external applications that one would otherwise be connected as JACK application. Another application would be to use them as input pre-processor.

More info can be found in the Ardour Manual.

#24

In that case I have completely misunderstood what these are. Thanks for the info.

NDI looks interesting. I may need to follow up on that.

I’m still confused why this one project opens the Cue screen in a new window.

Cheers,

Keith
