Before dropping support for older systems, we would like to release a final stable, good version.
We need your help for that.
Please bump any bug reports that produce crashes on the those older systems by leaving a comment on https://tracker.ardour.org. Note that we are only interested in severe issues that prevent Ardour from working reliably (no plugin related bugs).
This one is kind of vague so I’m not sure what I would say on a bug report. My wife was tracking vocals last night the 1st time since 6.6 was installed. When they were playing back they had a kind up phasey, underwater sound. I’m not sure how to describe it. After trying different mics, cables and interfaces, I played the file back in audacious and it sounded normal. I exported the stems, downgraded to 6.5 and imported the stems into a new project and it sounded right. This was in Linux.
Can you try if re-importing them into a new session also has this issue?
Maybe you’ve routed the track to a direct out (or monitor) and also via the master-bus using different panning which can lead to comb-filter artifacts? A mixer screenshot of the recording session may tell.
I did downgrade to 6.5 and imported the tracks and it was ok. There was more than one track doing the same thing. If you would like me to re-install 6.6 and reimport I will have to get back to it in the next day or 2.
Maybe now, when Ardour will be soon in v 7, it’s good time for next request:
If it would be possible … you could also prepare some support for development using some standard IDE (it does not matter which one).
Some of us would like to support you with some DEV tasks, but it’s hard to work outside of IDE.
Code completion, code browsing, and other useful features are missing.
And if it’s not possible for any reason, please, describe/list somewhere all tools you are using for development.
So “we are never to tie the build system […] to a particular tool”. In other words, use the IDE that you are most comfortable with.
The source-code has a file doc/source_tree_layout.txt that may help to get you started with the big picture, and development is coordinated on #ardour at irc.freenode.net.
This really isn’t a thread about Ardour 7, I was tempted to move the previous conversation out of it as it doesn’t belong here and didn’t, that was probably a mistake on my part, but for clarity, this thread is about current issues in Ardour on specific platforms that need to be addressed before Ardour 6.7 is released.
