(See also my comments on bug 5663, which results in a corrupted session (in A3) or lost-to-the-session data if you revert to A2, which doesn't know about the new files - you have to know about the internals of Ardour's project structure to find them and try to bring them back.) (If you want to be REALLY nice you could point to the 2.6.14 download point after they hit Cancel, in case they didn't.) ![]() It's the land mines laid down that I'm not fine with. I am _fine_ with that being the decision. I kept 2.6.14 on my machine for that very reason. Had I seen a dialogue like that, I would've hit cancel. I ended up having to rebuild every project where I did that. I was hesitant about importing A2 projects into A3, but then it said "here y'go! All done!" so I took that as a sign of dev team confidence, which was _highly misleading_. But the point remains: make it really clear: THIS COULD REALLY HURT YOU.Īt least this way, they'd be warned. Some Ardour 2 projects fail to import successfully into Ardour 3. Say, have it bring up a second dialogue, after the user selects an unimported A2 project, but before running the import code. It's the kind of thing that drives people away forever.Īt very, _very_ least, A3 should warn users. Silent data loss and/or delayed session corruption(!) is a brutally horrible user-case scenario. THAT SAID: given that, 3.x really should not claim to import 2.x sessions, as it currently does, or it should import them read-only but allow export. See the Ardour site for details.Not striving for good A2 to A3 import is a perfectly reasonable decision. If the ScrollZoomVerticalModifier key is used with the scroll wheel over the editor summary pane, zoom the editor vertically.Īrdour is open source, but a donation is required to enable saving of plugin settings.Make scroll-wheel modifier keys consistent in main editor window and editor summary pane.Add a ‘Similar’ button, which searches Freesound for sounds similar to the currently-selected sound in the results list.Sound files download into a file with a ‘.part’ suffix, which is then renamed to the intended name on success.Each sound file download takes place in its own thread, and has its own progress bar and cancel button, which stack up from the bottom of the list of results. Make download of sound files multi-threaded.Use the new freesound-download-dir config variable to decide the location of sound files downloaded from Freesound.There have been a variety of visible and internal-only changes to Ardour’s interactions with the Freesound database of sound samples:.This has various configuarble elements that can be shown or hidden via the menu Session->Properties->Meterbridge. This is a compact view of all meters in a session and will prove useful for large recording sessions, particularly live recording. ![]()
