Well, in the meantime I’m going to create a shortcut that I’ll integrate into the toolbar because otherwise it’s not very ergonomic.
edit:Damn!
I couldn’t even find a submenu in the shortcut actions to access the different quantizations… so I had to create six shortcuts, one for each tempo (quarter note, eighth note, sixteenth note, etc.).
This should be integrated into the piano roll window in the future.
Is it (or will be) possible to resize the bottom pane?, also, I’m getting only drum names instead of notes below A#5
Hello forum, I was about to put my hands on the Italian translation for the new version. I had some trouble building it, but switching to tag 9.0-pre0 I went through…
Now I have another problem. Launching ardour using ardev from the building directory, it shows only the english version, Locale is set correctly and the .po/.mo are apparently compiled correctly. Not to mention the “using tranlsation” flag is set in the preferences page of the app. Is it normal?
Now, I could just translate the .po file, but it would be great if I could verify my work, especially with regard of phrases length…
Hallo Paul, thanks for the new rc.
I tried the new realtime perceptual analyzer and tested it with white noise from test signal generator. Why do I see a difference between realtime analyzer and the spectral analysis in context menue of a track?
thanks, Alfred
Yes, resizing bottom pane would be great!
Actually, thinking about it, I preferred using keyboard shortcuts to change the note length for brush strokes. I figured I’d use the numeric keypad with the Ctrl key. That way, I wouldn’t overload the graphical interface… and it works.
However, the ability to use eighth-note triplets, sixteenth-note triplets, etc., is still missing.
That has always been the case. There is no single locale-dir when running from source (there are 5). Please see the ardour/TRANSLATORS at master · Ardour/ardour · GitHub file in Ardour’s top-level dir.
There’s a small problem in the piano roll window: the display of the grid in triplets, quintuplets, and septuplets isn’t working: only the display of the progression is bugged… The pitch is correct, and the magnet works.
The effects parameters in the lower zone are really nice to have. As with anything represented as a list, it would be cool if there would be the possibility to search for parameters, and/or create presets containing subsets of the list.
It is a promising start though, and works pretty well for plugins with low parameter count.
It would also be cool to find a way to add a parameter from the lower zone to the strip.
Right click item or something like that.
Edit: and of course the obvious vst3 spec style right click > show automation lane. I know there is show last touched, and I use this extensively. But anyone who has experienced this in reaper or cubase might wish that workflow available everywhere.
Yeah this needs work. There will either need to indirection, say N macro controls that are mapped to the plugin parameters. Or alternatively a way to pick N controls and only show those (custom sort controls).
The latter might also help with hardware control surfaces where there is a similar problem:
One should be able to choose which parameters are shown there first (without banking).
The hard part is finding a nice way to allow a user to customize this (for LV2 plugins Ardour uses the LV2 Port Display Priority Property).
Is anyone else having trouble loading the vst3 version of Surge XT on the RC? For me it just crashes Ardour. I am able to load the lv2 just fine.
Yes I know I can just use the lv2 version, but it would be nice to have the choice.
No problem here with 9 RC and Surge XT 1.3.4 VST3.
Between 9.0-rc1-9 and 9.0-rc1-17, VST3 plugins with sidechains inputs (such as Surge XT) will have caused problems.
It should be fine with recent rc-19 and later.
that’s great set of changes/improvements. Good work everyone!
hi! thanks for the great work, im really happy about ardour 9, especially reigon fx!
i would like to report that im getting segfaults whenever i load the harrison xt guis of ACE plugins after loading the an xt gui before in the same session
Arch Linux or a derivative ? If so this is likely the same as [SOLVED] Ardour crashes when re-opening a plugin window - #2 by x42
If so, try updating mesa to mesa-git 25.3.0.
ah, sorry, yeah, im on arch, that fixed it, thank you, and sorry
I’m very impressed with new Ardour. But there is still a big issue with graphics on Mac - especially for mixer window. I think is a slightly better than earlier, but it doesn’t work so fluently as in Reaper or Luna 
While we’re happy to take any random praise, when it comes to criticism it needs to be a lot more precise. Information like: version of macOS, screen size, resolution and connection type(s), all relevant macOS-specific options in Ardour, and something more about what “not as fluent” really means to you?
I suggest you heed @paul’s advice, and perhaps submit a proper bug-report over on the bug tracker.
I use macOS as well, and have similar problems to what you describe.
So I think I’ll submit my own bug report as well…
In the meantime, I suggest flipping this setting in your preferences window to see if it helps improve things:
