Some Ideas of mine

Community Ideas for Ardour
#1

Greetings from Down Under

I am using Ardour in earnest since version 5.12.0 (year ???) running OpenSuse now on version LEAP 15.6. (AMD Ryzen 5 5600, 28 Gbyt Ram, All drives “ SSD “ (latest upgrade))

Haven’t had any problems with XRUNs for the last 5 Years or so !!!

Started with M-Audio Hardware interface, switched to Behringer 4 channel , 10 channel, 24 channel and now 32 channel. All worked out of the box.

My Wish-list:

  • A Lyric Track PLEASE !!!

  • A command to Un-arm all tracks (armed for recording) !

  • When a new version of Ardour is released, a more detailed description of the new features !

And a question : How do I copy tracks between different session ?

Thanks and best regards

Ctrl-shift-click (or on macOS, Cmd-shift-click) on any track rec-enable button. Hint: this also works for solo and mute.

We have very, very limited resources available for work on the Ardour manual and/or videos, though Alexandre Prokoudine is doing a great job doing what he can.

The only way the current situation can improve is if more people step up to document things.

Copying a track in its entirety (settings, processing, data content) between sessions is quite complex. Copying a track without data is just a matter of saving a track template in the first session, and using it in the second, as described here:

Copying the data is notably more complex. You would likely do a stem export of the track from the first session, and then import it to a track you created with a template and then selected in the new session.

Not sure if it’d work for you but as a temporary workaround, could you maybe add some occasional location markers but with each one’s name set to the lyrics you want to see?

That’d be very welcome! What kind of contribution do you have in mind?

Day to day development of Ardour is coordinated on #ardour IRC channel at libera.chat (Ardour > Menu > Help > Chat) by @paul and me.

This for forum is also a reasonable place if you don’t need immediate feedback.

PS. Since Ardour development is predominately self motivated, you may also want to talk to a nearby Rubber Duck on occasion :slight_smile:

Hi Robin
Where I could add value:
Documentation: For new feature releases a more detailed description … as Paul pointed out “there are only limited resources.”
As I found, there are interesting new features which are only high level described.
It never helped me and I am sure I missed out not knowing what it was all about.

“So working myself into the new feature (communicate with the developer,), write a detailed description and or video.” The standard of the description should be as such that it can be immediately integrated in the Documentation.

What do you think ?

Cheers Otto
