While I'm sure Mark meant in no way to narrow the scope of Qtractor, I
looked at it yesterday for the first time semi seriously. It's clearly
headed for more than being just a 'loop player'...
I have a slightly older version {0.1.1} that is among the repo pkg's on my
distro of beloved choice. (Sorry Rui...I'm not in my bedroom and I used more
than one track!!! Did I violate the RPL?? {Rui - Pulic - License})
Veering off topic as I so fondly do, I'm running Fluxbox 1.0 and when I run
Qtractor, obviously it wraps in QT 3.3 in this case. The main windows
function fine but child windows such as the "mixer" window, come up at a
default size and cannot be re-sized other than to be maximized or minimized.
I'm 99.9% certain it's a Fluxbox issue (and I have put a LOT of time into
this in the last 10 days do to not having a job for he first time in
forever), but wonder if anyone has the Fluxbox magic sauce on this....OR, is
there QT3.3 magik I can apply.
I'm largly doing this because there is a {yet another} audio based
derivitive of my favorite distro out there and before I point the masses to
it, I 1st, want blessings of the creator, and 2...it's not ready for prime
time! But I CAN tell you, it smells REAL good!! It runs KDE by default
and KDE is getting to be a bit more like that *other* OS that swallows
resources n cycles like a pig eating slops, so I'm adding the pazzaz suace
to fluxbox with custom menus, purty wallpapers and running Wbar with all the
cool apps on it. More on that soon...
Not that it mattered to anyone except my family, but rumors of my death {pre
OR past tense} have been grossly exagerated! :P
Fanx!

that's currently one shortcoming of qtractor: there's no latency
compensation mechanism yet... uhoh
the above issue regards to drifting between the jack engine (which is
master fwiw) and the alsa-seq midi queue. it used to get really
noticeable when looping audio *and* midi material for long periods

Rui,
I somehow missed this announcement the first time it came out or
didn't pay enough attention. So you've managed to get pitch shifting
into a Linux-based loop player?!?! Exciting. I've been waiting for
this since 1999! I'll have to give qtractor a serious look?
The power of the commercial progs like Acid Pro, Ableton, FL, etc.,
is that I can drop in loops and they are automatically set to the
tempo of the session. Does qtractor do this? If I have loops recorded
at 136BPM and I'm doing a 119BPM session is the default pitch as
recorded and the default tempo 119?
Thanks,
Mark

Greetings,
Be earthed, greetling!
> After another quarantine period, I am pleased to announce (yet)
maintenance release of my flag-ship toy, Qtractor, an Audio/MIDI
multi-track "bedroom" sequencer for the techno-boy (and girl:).
Heh, i'm not techno but i still like how QTractor is coming along :)
- Drifting correction among audio and MIDI
engines is now back,
but avoided while recording or should it be while looping?
(EXPERIMENTAL REGRESSION)
Hi, does this fix the issue that when i record to my previously material the newly recorded material does not
line up with the
previously
recorded material although i play totally in
time?
Ah well, gonna check it out anyways. The feature is called latency
compensation in ardour and is a must have for any digital recorder
IMHO..
Just up the buffer size in jackd to like 2048 and record two tracks
with
yourself clapping and try to get them in sync :)
While you might
succeed to
clap in sync to the previously recorded track
(unless you're seriously
rhythm
impaired) they will not sound in sync when it
comes to playing them
back..
