Hello Linux audio land!
Here is my biggest contribution to the Ardour and Linux audio
community yet to celebrate the recent public release of the Ardour 3
alpha stage.
Now that I've watched their (archive.org's) transcoding of my
'Introduction to Ardour 3.0 MIDI' video and had some initial positive
feedback off the Ardour and AV Linux forums I feel its time I shared
this with the list. Maybe I should've done this on LAA instead but I
feel this is our primary list so..
My eternal gratefulness to all the hard working devs and community
members (nearly all present on this list I'd should imagine) who made
this video possible!
Thanks for watching!

Hi,
thanks for releasing alpha and sharing video - good that weekend is coming
:)
Piano roll MIDI feature is really nice.
However, where I can read about more features of ardour 3 / maybe same
page with development status?
For example I am interested in VST support in a3 - I tried google and not
sure how valid is answer fro 2009:
http://ardour.org/node/3071
And of course would like to read about what to test and so on.
Regards,
Rafał

No, thats outdated. You need to use the --vst option with waf when
compiling. Finding VSTs that don't cause frequent crashes is hard -
you've been warned! This is why the official builds don't support it.
Native VST support could well be a different story when it arrives but
that likely won't be in 3.0.
And of course would like to read about what to test and so on.
As for this and development status:

Have fun testing A3!

Hi allcoms,
thanks for your fully reply - I am going to try it for sure with mastering
new track.
Cheers!

Thanks for this.
My comments:
1. Get rid of the first 11 minutes (or put that in its own video). I
don't think and introduction to Ardour 3.0 should include talk about
distros, etc.
2. I'd prefer to see an LV2 plugin as opposed to an external program
(like specimen). With a plugin, you keep Ardour on screen for the
entire video with the plugin's UI floating above it. With specimen,
you're switching windows and distracting from the goal of the video.
3. If you do use specimen, have it running with a patch bank already
installed. Don't include a mini-specimen tutorial inside this video.
Ditto for Yoshimi and the jack-session stuff.
4. I probably have a shorter attention span than most everyone on the
planet, but I'm at the 30 minute mark and you haven't played a single
note yet.
Maybe a series of shorter, more-specific videos would be good?

Hi Paul Coccoli!
My comments:

distros, etc.
I was certainly considering this. Does anyone know of a good JACK,
ALSA and FFADO tutorial video I could've referenced instead? It is
essential that the viewer understand what all these are before the
rest of the tutorial makes a jot of sense. The majority of people who
do understand any or all of what these are are all reading this now
essentially and these are alien terms to the general public or even
people experienced in recording on other platforms.
2. I'd prefer to see an LV2 plugin as opposed to
an external program
(like specimen). With a plugin, you keep Ardour on screen for the
entire video with the plugin's UI floating above it. With specimen,
you're switching windows and distracting from the goal of the video.
If you can show me a multi-timbral, velocity sensitive, MIDI
automatable LV2 softsynth or a LV2 sampler with integrated GUI to
equal specimen both of which can save and restore their settings then
I'd love to know about it. AFAIK no such thing exists or at least not
in a fully working state yet. I say as much in the video plus doing it
the way I did allowed me to demonstrate JACK session.
3. If you do use specimen, have it running with a
patch bank already
installed. Don't include a mini-specimen tutorial inside this video.
Ditto for Yoshimi and the jack-session stuff.
I was aiming for an all inclusive video here- all except how to use
the unix command line and covering general MIDI/ digital music
concepts (ie what is a sample etc.). People coming from the Win or Mac
world will be aware of what a sample is and what a MIDI note channel
is but they won't know diddly about JACK session and how to route a
JACK softsynth.
4. I probably have a shorter attention span than most
everyone on the
planet, but I'm at the 30 minute mark and you haven't played a single
note yet.
Whilst I expected the most interest from members of LA*, my target
audience was the person who has used $favemusicapp but never used a
Linux music app, JACK and friends before.
Maybe a series of shorter, more-specific videos would be good?
I may redo this video after Ardour 3.0 has had a stable release or two
made. By that time I'd like to think that we will have a wider choice
of LV2 softsynths including a softsynth (almost) as good as yoshimi
and maybe composite will have an integrated LV2 gui by then or another
LV2 sample player will have been released? I spent as little time
explaining Yoshimi and specimen as possible- only showing and
explaining the total bare minimum in both cases.
Thanks for the feedback - its much appreciated!
