Yes, its time for the usual bug-fix-after-the-real-release. 2.4.1 primarily fixes two significant bugs in 2.4 (no undo after region dragging being the most important). But it also has a couple of new features and several other nice fixes and improvements, particularly for users of AudioUnit plugins on OS X.
hey rich, i am not sure about the jog wheel, though the arrow keys on your keyboard operate in a similar fashion. yes many would agree that the plugins look plain, however sound is sound not something you see - are you familiar with jazz mutant lemur?? - plain gui - i would use it in a second. GFX aren’t at the top of the list(i think anyway). there also is a hightlight and loop option for some reason after 2.4 was released they are now hidden in a menu - THEY ARE THere, im just at work and can’t check right now.
seeing more plugins that make sound is key, synths and drums.
Keep the plugins plain, please. You can’t hear fancy graphics (apart from their adverse impact on system performance), and there are few things more awkward than trying to turn a picture of a knob with a mouse. I find many proprietary plugins look pretty but are almost unusable for doing any real work. The Ardour plugins were a revelation, and they’re the first plugins I’ve liked enough to use regularly instead of hardware.
i 2nd that, gfx have very little to do with production. they suck up resources, and rich if you want knobs - then use physical hardware. myself i hate knobs on my plugins - they aren’t condusive for editing only for looking pretty and emulating a real box. pointlessness.
Super
great, many many thanks for your excellent work.
But a little question?
Would it be possible to make the BBT Display configurable to display ( 0 | 0 | 0 ) or ( 1 | 1 | 0 ) As a human I think 1 1 0 is much better and more logical. For a mashine maybe 0 0 0 is better. But as a human I count 1 2 3 4 … and not 0 1 2 3 | 0 1 2 3 …
the 0|0|0 mode is only used when a BBT clock is measuring a duration, not marking time. eg. the smallest duration is zero, which is 0|0|0, not 1|1|0. when clocks are used to mark time, they start at 1|1|0 as you suggest.
Hi my name is Rich and I am with Puppet Truth, and am working on my fourth CD. I am currently using Logic to do my projects but would love to switch over to Ardour. My problem with Ardour is 1. It doesn’t have a jog wheel. 2. The Plugins are way too plain (Would love to see familiar dial plugins). 3. (and most importantly) Really feel that Ardour needs to have a highlight and loop option like Logic. Because it aids the composer write.
The problem with a lot of recording apps is the tendency to put the artist through hell as he tries to work. Not a good thing as simplicity counts in terms of working on music. The last thing a person writing wants to deal with is a less than intuitive program that distracts the composer by making them think while working!
Love the sound and am learning it as a editor but really want it as a multi track application.
Also would love to see some great sounding drum machine apps as well!
These things would for sure revolutionize Ardour! Thank you for your time- Richard S Holler
