Change default settings for Time Stretch

Getting Stuff Done How do I .... ?
#1

Hi!!

I’m begining with Ardour and I’m loving it!
I’m doing a project with a lot of time stretch editing, and the Time Stretch tool is perfect for my needs. My question is:
The default setting for the contents treated by this tool is Crisp monophonic instrumental, but I like more the Balanced multitimbral mixture setting, it brings better results for my needs. Each time I use this tool, it appears with its default selected, how can I change this default setting for not having to change it every time?

Thanks!

I wish I knew how to do that too. Anyone know how it’s done ??

Unfortunately, I think you have to recompile Ardour for that.
gtk2_ardour/editor_timefx.cc defines the default as
stretch_opts_selector.set_active_text (editor.rb_opt_strings[4]);
Change the 4 to 2 and recompile and I guess it should work.
0=Mushy, 1=Smooth, 2=Balanced multitimbral mixture, 3=Unpitched percussion with stable notes, 4=Crisp monophonic instrumental, 5=Unpitched solo percussion as per libs/rubberband/src/main.cpp

You could file a feature request in mantis to have it configurable, but since 2.x is in feature freeze more or less I doubt it’ll happen.
