32.0 Appendix B: Release Notes

KNOWN ISSUES

Stereo-only AU plug-ins may not be loaded into mono channel strips.

Solo-ing a Mixbus does not mute the assignments to the Master bus

Some graphical glitches in file lists (GTK issue)

Multi-monitor displays are not very well supported (GTK issue)

On PPC systems, the region name does not show up under the region in the editor window.

Closing a session and then creating or opening a new one may result in a crash. For best results quit Mixbus and relaunch to switch sessions.

Using a Mackie control surface, and changing the order of tracks/busses will occasionally cause a crash.

Drag-and-drop of audio files into Mixbus will occasionally cause a crash. Use the Import dialog instead.

Exporting to AIFF files results in white noise. Please use other formats instead.

Mixbus v1.1

FEATURES

Master Bus: Add "Program Release" to final limiter. Show limiter gain redux in yellow. Add "input trim" and "lim- iter in/out" function to popup dialog.

Add Insert "ping" function to measure latency and accommodate it (on tracks & mix busses). You can now use external h/w processing and get sample-accurate latency compensation within Ardour.

Add key stroke (left/right arrow) and wheel (left/right, shift-down/up) scrolling in mixer window

Plug-in manager now has a "hide" option so that you can control which plug-ins show up in the plug-in menus

New "by category" plug-in menu, to complement the "by creator" one that already existed

If auto-play is enabled, defining or changing a range selection will immediately start playing it

New action, ToggleRollMaybe, which leaves loop play or range play mode but without stopping the transport (Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-space by default)

New "Region Layering Editor". This is accessed via the region context menu, and provides an easy way to modify the layering of regions at a given location (it will only show in the menu if there is more than one region under the mouse pointer). It can be used as an excellent tool for comping loop recording or overdubs in general.

Provide host callbacks for AU plug-ins to get tempo, musical time and transport information

Mixbus can now open un-writable sessions without complaining. This includes sessions on read only media and those for which write access is not granted to the user.

FIXES

Increased Mixbus latency compensation to 8192 samples to accommodate UAD and other "hardware" AU plug-ins

Fix EQ & Dynamics settings at 96k

Allow Ardour Busses to assign to Harrison Mix buses

Fixed MIDI bindings to solo/mute, and fix pan knobs on the Mackie/MCU/Logic controller

Many fixes to AU plug-ins, to keep the GUI updating correctly and store/recall presets

Fix BWF header contents

Fix crash caused by auto-saving after unloading a session

Fix crash caused by using an audio interface without inputs or outputs

Fix crash caused by data overrun when generating peak files

Plug-in/send/insert displays in mixer strips should now always list the correct items

Handle localized decimal indicator in BarController widget

I/O buttons now show connection state a bit more sensibly

Edit group visibility maintained in session file

Prevent sends/inserts from ever being renamed to the same name as a track/bus

Make handling of session and history files more robust across ardour versions

Don't allow crossfade point dragging to create illegal values

IMPROVEMENTS

Automatically "scale up" the size of knobs and switches if you have a larger screen

Make exported file name text entry "activatable" in export region dialog
