Where? On the editor timeline?
What setting do you use in Preferences > Appearance > Render Canvas on openGL texture?

Please file a bug report and also include information about your system (display that you use, display resolution, version of macOS, etc).

I had issues using it, it doesn’t seem to load some of my plugins with gui at all,‘plus It would be nice for a native solution. I don’t like to open plugins inside a plugin.

I tried with all settings it’s the same, I have this issue with mixbus as well, same thing. It’s like the overall program has less resolution on most text, which affects all buttons in mixer and editor icons and plugin strip names, and even with mixbus the mixer looks less sharp


It may be hard to see on here but if you open the image and click side by side you can see one of them is more blurry and the other is sharp, that’s what I experience.

Sorry, when I said bug report I meant tracker.ardour.org – not here.

Right I know but I still thought it would be nice to share since we were talking about it

Yes, I can well understand that. I use it mainly for Geraint’s Spectrum Matcher and it works great (except that the dry/wet setting is not saved in the project - for whatever reason).

“Anti-Virus” is the textbook case of a cure that has become worse than the desease. Basically obsolete but still hard to get rid of, mostly because “you never know”. The fact that you really never know aka intransparence is what is keeping AV alive.

“Anti-Virus” and “bath salts abuse” go together, hand in hand, like blasting caps and C4.

Thanks for a good job :pray:

Thanks a lot. Midi editing is a little better again, also due to this new feature:
Midi drawing toolbar

It would be great if reatune would work too :slight_smile:

regarding my small request in

I can only say: thank you for nothing.
Maybe someone is able to explain to me: who benefits from this loss of a small but very valuable functionality? For sure I’m to stupid to get it.

This is huge! Really happy for this feature, all I really miss is a paint-like eraser i.e. hold right or middle click and drag wherever and delete every note you touch

Thank you very much! Looking forward to the Ubuntu Studio Ardour backport updating it.

I’m still hoping and waiting for an ardour version 7 I can use. Unfortunately the bugs that corrupt sessions with variable tempo and MIDI tracks (most of what I’m working on at the moment) have still not been fixed (cf. 0009163: Converting session with tempo changes puts some MIDI regions in wrong position - MantisBT and 0009162: Bars and beats and MIDI tracks ignore tempo changes - MantisBT). Shouldn’t they have a bit higher priority considering the improvement of time handling was the big New Thing in version 7.0?

Happy with 7.3., very much so.

From the 7.0 blurb:
“preloaded with 8000+ MIDI chords, 5000+ MIDI chord progressions and 4800+ MIDI drum grooves, ready to use (and obviously royalty free and redistributable)”

My version isn’t. Can the midi packs be separately d/l’ed? Thanks…

Alas no. We could make that possible in the future, but really the MIDI pack is intended to a part of Ardour as distributed. I would ask your distribution’s packager.

I must say, the possibility to play a session with a different samping rate is a great feature, which eases up my workflow from time to time :ok_hand:
