-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-9384 2010-06-02 17:32:10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : ardour Product : Fedora 12 Version : 2.8.10 Release : 1.fc12 URL : http://ardour.org Summary : Multichannel Digital Audio Workstation Description : Ardour is a multichannel hard disk recorder (HDR) and digital audio workstation (DAW). It is capable of simultaneous recording 24 or more channels of 32 bit audio at 48kHz. Ardour is intended to function as a "professional" HDR system, replacing dedicated hardware solutions such as the Mackie HDR, the Tascam 2424 and more traditional tape systems like the Alesis ADAT series. It is also intended to provide the same or better functionality as software systems such as ProTools, Samplitude, Logic Audio, Nuendo and Cubase VST (we acknowledge these and all other names as trademarks of their respective owners). It supports MIDI Machine Control, and so can be controlled from any MMC controller, such as the Mackie Digital 8 Bus mixer and many other modern digital mixers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: ardour-2.8.10: keyboard presses and releases are now correctly sent to Ardour created plugin GUIs (e.g. for LADSPA plugins), making it possible to use the keyboard to set parameter values and define preset names. In addition, Ardour will no longer abort if your home directory is not writable, but exits cleanly with a (hopefully) clear error message. This bug really only affects first time users who have been playing around with their system in an unwise fashion. ardour-2.8.9: Just a couple of days since 2.8.8, and Ardour 2.8.9 is available. Why? It turned out that the infamous mute bug (which caused the mute button to do nothing) was actually not fixed in 2.8.8 (or prior versions where this has been claimed). This has been one of the worst regressions of recent versions of Ardour, and I mistakenly blamed packagers and distributions for it. Thankfully ardour.org member the_CLA spent time with me on IRC and we finally proved to my satisfaction that the bug was really in Ardour. Its now fixed, hopefully forever. ardour-2.8.8: Finally, its June and Ardour 2.8.8 is finally here. Although this is primarily a bug-fix release, some of the "bugs" fixed are so pervasive and significant that they could almost count as new features. In particular, automation editing has finally arrived at a place that people with experience on other DAWs may consider actually usable. Issues with alignment of new and existing recorded material are addressed too, and there are lots of other bug fixes for issues small and large (including 3 or 4 crashing bugs). Anybody using Ardour 2.8.7 or earlier should upgrade to enjoy increased stability and better functionality. This is the last feature-adding release of the 2.8 series. The next release of Ardour will be version 3.0-alpha1 (unless notable regressions are discovered in 2.8.8). IMPORTANT FIXES Dramatic improvements to automation editing so that it more or less works as anyone might expect. DOWNSIDE: for this release, the display of automation data is not updated in realtime while in write/touch mode. This will be fixed in a future release. Correct very strange and erratic punch recording behaviour that would create regions on tracks that were not record enabled Fix crash when zooming canvas repeatedly Fix handling of files larger than 2GB that could cause very slow reload of existing sessions (speedup was from 9 minutes to 30 seconds) Subtle but important change that may fix issues with recording not placing material in the correct location on the timeline Correctly order signal processing after adding a send (fixes issues with placement of recorded material) Regions overlapped by 2 other regions will now no longer semi-randomly fail to be audible during playback Region exports and bounces now use region fade in and fade out curves. USEFUL FIXES Save & recall port insert latency values JACK Latency = 256 menu option now works Importing files with the "Sequence files" option now works Cleanup LV2 "external gui" extension support Clear solo state when deleting a route that is soloed Notify user that deleting a route will save the session state Ellipsize long names in the track/bus inspector Force exported AIFF files to be big- endian Anchor the crossfade start and end points so that they cannot be edited Correctly retain MIDI bindings for global transport controls Do not burn 100% of a CPU's available cycles if disconnected from JACK Put the fixed size columns (check marks) on the left side of the mixer's track and group lists for easier access to their functionality Fix strange behaviour when dragging region(s) towards time zero Rationalize track selection and range selection Make selecting a range in mouse range mode work even if there is already a time selection When splitting N-channel regions to mono regions, each new region shows up as its own region, not a child of the original Clearing an automation track of data no longer generates an error when next loading the session ("Cannot reconstitute XML history node ...") HANDY NEW FEATURES Include links in Help menu to the tutorial and reference manuals switch from ctrl-drag to alt-drag for "drag-selection-as-region" change automation track selection model slightly so that auto tracks are highlighted as expected. only show range boxes when the automation will actually get edited. clicking an automation track should show the editor-mixer for the parent track Configurable behaviour when an N channel track plays a region that has less than N channels (silence or replicate the last channel). Default is silence.
