Ardour 8.0 is released

Blog
#21

The audio engine works way better than 7.5 but
when “freezing” a track Ardour 8 crashes, both ALSA and Jack.
(Debian 12 Cinnamon, Xeon-E5, 32Gb, Nvme, 6.1.0-7-rt-amd64)

Bug reports go to http://tracker.ardour.org/ preferably wtith a stacktrace (see http://ardour.org/debugging_ardour) Also, confirm there that this is an ardour.org build.

Yes it’s a “ready to run program” optimized, payed.

I just did a couple of track freeze tests … no crash here. Please file a useful bug report and we can look into it.

Thank you Paul for your quick test and reply. I’m not a tech so I won’t be able to file a bug report, I’ll wait to see if some other user(s) more skilled than me will report that issue.
BTW here it crashes with Carla Rack VST filled with amp sims-stompbox plugin.

Amazing release! :slight_smile: Thank you so much!

I have one question whether it’s a bug or a feature: when selecting two strips in the mixer view and I drag their fader, then both faders change. However, if I scroll on one fader, then only this fader changes.
If this is a bug, I can of course report it – I just wasn’t sure.

This is kind of bug but seems to be well known. See Ardour 8.0 — What's new under “Quick Groups”:

Second, this also will not work if you use the mouse scroll wheel to adjust faders. We will likely “fix” this sometime during the 8.x series.

Oops, I missed that in the release notes. Thanks for the hint! :slight_smile:

Very exciting updates, people! Congratulations for the great job you’ll have been doing. I’m especifically curious about this one: Provide rubber-band drag select of region gain points. Does it means that Ardour are now able to change tempo in any part of the clips, with speed ramps and more? Like a turntable style, for example???

Nope, sorry. This means you can do a box select to select multiple region gain points, and adjust multiple at once I believe. I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong in a moment though:)

#32

Thank you for the Launchpad pro support!

#33

Thanks for the answer, Seablade!

I imagined that a change like that will had more highlight in release notes…anyway, that’s a great improvement too. It will save a lot of time in bigger/complex projects

Oh my God, now I can compose a song for the billions watching yt! :slight_smile: Many thanks to all developers!

He can only be referring to tom ax11 as I see it. I laughed but be careful with irony in communication where you can’t give body (like, face, or smileys) language signals :wink:

I was talking about the roadmap. If I remember correctly there was none for many years

#37

Not really, there has been a kind of a roadmap for a very long time, at least since v3 released 10 years ago. It was never tied to particular releases and never promised release dates though.

#38

Is it publicly accessible? If so, where?

#39

I have lots of hand written notes in various notebooks from the last 10 years. There’s a also a whiteboard with ideas in Paul’s office that has not been wiped since last I’ve been there…

We’re just collecting those on a web-page, please stay tuned.
I’d not call it a roadmap though. I’s more like a guide for the jungle :cowboy_hat_face:
