Hi all, Qtractor 1.5.7 (summer'25) is out! Change-log: - Give some slack time to stabilize, when updating or changing audio bus channel counts, mitigating the probability to fault when unregistering old and registering new PipeWire/JACK ports in immediate succession. - Transport/Loop Set behavior slightly changed, now toggling the loop range if the edit-head/tail match current loop-start/end. - Introducing Aux-Send audio bus I/O matrix functionality. - Corrected greater-than-2-channel audio clip waveform drawing, while on certain zoom levels, an old bug lurking there since dawn, quite an example to the evil of too-early optimization ;) - Draw all audio clip peaks+rms waveforms slightly compressed, so that low-level signals have improved visibility. - Warn when saving any type of session into an extracted archive directory. Description: Qtractor [1] is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework [2]. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK [3]) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA [4]) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

[ANN] Dynamic Range Destroyer LV2 plugin (DRD.lv2)

by David Flater

Dynamic Range Destroyer (DRD.lv2 or simply DRD) is an audio compressor plugin that aims to remove changes in volume from an audio stream. This effect is also called auto volume levelling, volume normalization, or "stable volume." It supports mono, stereo, 6-channel, and 8-channel streams, and it preserves the balance among channels. https://github.com/DaveFlater/DRD
