Open source digital audio workstation Ardour has been updated to version 2.8, a mostly-bugfix version that also comes with a couple of significant features.
I am pleased to announce the release of Ardour 2.8. As has been previously announced, the 2.X series is now in a state of “feature freeze” so that we can try to concentrate on Ardour 3.0, but as a gesture of thanks to the community for the support during February, I wanted to release this mostly-bugfix version that also comes with a couple of significant features. These include much more reliable VST support on Linux, track/bus templates and, with some important qualifications, AudioUnit state and preset handling.
Changes in Ardour v2.8
- Track/Bus Templates.
- Distributable VST support.
- VST preset handling.
- VST chunk handling.
- AudioUnit state & preset handling.
- new playhead-to-{next,previous}-region-boundary variant commands that ignores track selection (on Linux, Windows-LeftArrow or Windows-RightArrow; on OS X, Ctrl-LeftArrow or Ctrl-RightArrow).
- New, thoroughly edited Spanish translation.
- New “accurate” crossfade icons.
- Many fixes, details here.
Ardour is available as an executable for Mac and Linux (source code is available as well).
