[LAA] Qtractor 1.5.8 - A Late Summer'25 Release

by Rui Nuno Capela

Hi all, Qtractor 1.5.8 (late-summer'25) is released! Change-log: - When selecting an Aux-Send pseudo-plugin, also highlight the respective target output bus mixer strip. - Mitigate and compensate for padding and start-delay/latency to (lib)RubberBand time-stretching and pitch-shifting processing. - Avoid warning when auto-saving an extracted archive/zip session. - Fixed all empty/void audio clips created when aborting an armed recording session; revisited. - Added new Track/Height/Minimize menu item. - Fixed initial Aux-Send audio bus I/O matrix functionality; also when input channel count is greater than output count. - Fixed WSOLA time-stretching crashing on greater-than-2-channels/stereo audio clips. - Fix misaligned LV2 Atoms. 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.
