Greetings One third and last time around... Qtractor 0.9.16 (summer'20) is out! Change-log: - Experimental / High resolution plugin automation (14-bit) options is now also removed from View > Options... > Plugins dialog. - Audio Clip / Export... now takes into account custom fixed gain property (shamefully missing for the whole last decade to date). - Finally indulged on dummy LV2 plug-in CVPort support, just to avoid certain immediate and sudden crashes when inserting those kind of 'non-functional' plugins accidentally. - Bring the Track Export dialog down to Clip Merge/Export as well, for optional file type and format selection. - When enabled, do auto-save upon adding or inserting a new plugin. - Make sure LV2 plug-in UI GTK2 and X11 native support is selected first by default on top to libsuil. - Both out-of-process plugin inventory scan and LV2 Dynamic manifest options have been removed from View > Options... > Plugins dialog. - Fixed deprecated stuff on an early preparation for Qt6. 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.
