Hey all,
I just installed 5.12.0 on a few machines in my studio. For consistency’s sake I’d like to put the same version on my G4 & G5 too (currently have 4.8.x on the G5, the G4 is new. And yes, it’s running Leopard.)
The only PPC download I can find is the nightly build, currently 6.0-pre603.
I understand the PPC build is still considered “experimental” and not really part of the stable branch, but I’d just like the version I’m using to match up so I can share project files.
I’ll be setting this up on my thoroughly-upgraded dual-G4 1.7GHz with a 4-in/4-out MIDI interface that doesn’t have working drivers for anything over OS/X 10.8. Perfect combo IMHO.
HUGE props for keeping Ardour going on PowerPC. I am of the firm opinion that these are still great machines & can still do a ton of useful work today.
