I just uploaded a new version which should AFAIK have fixes for every issue you guys reported... Thanks for helping to test...

Right you are... That should now be fixed in the latest release.

StudioDave wrote:Some clarification re: the gain curve bug, the error occurs in multi-item edit mode.

That should've been fixed in yesterday's Git, but let me know if it's still happening...

StudioDave wrote:Any tips for audio input ?

Yes, the audio input recording works by first connecting something to the input in QJackCtl (obviously an interim solution), the tracks are stereo-only pairs, then record-arming that audio input on the "tracks" tab, then pressing record.

The audio capabilities are, admittedly, far behind MIDI in both workflow and feature-set, but with Ardour traditionally being so audio-centric, somebody has to balance that out with a level of MIDI-worship like the world has never seen before

Ardour 3 just got officially released . https://community.ardour.org/node/6908

Oh well, I'll work it out I'm sure.

cheers.

unetbootin should have a gui option to specify memory set aside
to use for casper, the ubuntu persistance setup. Choose the .iso file you
wish to burn, from the unetbootin gui, and off you go

Cheers

The google traslation gives one some hope!
Maybe time for a new JAD?

Cheers

That was the preview that made me optimistic we might see it by fall 2013. They do hint at certain things that apparently didn't work smoothly yet, but overall it seemed very much on track.

A pleasure. I'm liking PyDAW more every day, and I'm sure to like it a lot more when I install a new mobo. I'm currently considering a Gigabyte board, quad-core AMD with 8G memory, should be hefty enough to run PyDAW with a synth or two.

Please do ! I have a raft of MIDI features I use with Sequencer Plus, I think you could integrate them easily into PyDAW's design. But all good things in time, I know. Just keep up the fine work polishing up the current codebase, it's fun watching PyDAW grow so quickly.

Btw, the top-level arrangement tools are excellent, they make for a very fast workflow at the macro-composition level. Nicely done.

Thanks for the audio recording tips, Jeff, I'll check 'em out again today. After the audio tests the article will be reader-ready. I'll send you a draft copy when it's finished.

Best,

Sounds like a fine choice to me... No musician ever regrets going quad-core

Thanks... I'm digging them myself too(and not just because I wrote them

), but certain aspects of MIDI arrangement are definitely faster and easier (for my style of music) than Cubase or Reaper ever were... Now that I'm about 1/4 of the way through writing my first tune in PyDAW, I have a fairly long list of what could be smoother about the workflow, so there's definitely quite a bit of polish and refinement coming down the pipes soon...

Sounds good, thanks... BTW, I did break the audio sequencer playback cursor right before I released last night (cosmetic only, but still: Doh! ), but it's already fixed in Git...

Hi Jeff,

Quick notes:

13.03-4 much improved, thanks for changing the note-entry insert lengths as per another tester's request. Envelope problem appears to be resolved, thanks for that.

Looks like the cursor is broken on region loop playback too. The looping plays fine but the cursor stops after the first play through the loop.

On the run, busy day, I'll get more time with it tonight.

Crap, how did that happen... Thanks for the heads up, I'll fix it some time tonight..

Thanks. Yeah, I've added persistence there before from the GUI. When it works it is great, but out of about 20 attempts I have only ever got about 3 to actually boot. For some reason UNetbootin just doesn't work for me, though I know it does for lots of others. The startup disk creator or usb creator as it is sometimes referred to has never let me down yet with any flavour of mint I've tried. It even works with other distros sometimes too.

I'm going to d/l the latest distro again now and see if i can get it up and running.

cheers.

That's great to hear. I wish you well. Now back to work with you. I bet you're loving Studio One aren't you?

It will be as if Logic never existed.

cheers.

Hey buddy, I hope you are well, thanks for the support...

The project has made tremendous progress in a very short period of time... I'm just ironing out the last few regressions from the recent new features, then it's time to start preparing for the release of the next major version...

The MIDI sequencing in now pretty much holding it's own, doing some things well, and most things well-enough... Audio sequencing isn't quite there yet for some use-cases, but the next major release should get it much closer.

Ah, yeah... I should've mentioned that, sorry...

Persistence tends to make most live USB flash drives really slow... Because most don't have asynchronous, bidirectional IO, the reads wind up waiting on the (incredibly slow) writes, which just degrades performance on boot up, shutdown, and everywhere in between...

I have some recommended live USB instructions for optimal performance at the below link, mostly regarding using a data partition on the flash drive instead of a persistence file, it works much better that way because the system doesn't start choking everything by trying to write system logs to the flash drive:
