The most notable ones include: + + * Octave numbers like C3, C4 are now shown at all times. + * It is now possible to record MIDI using the piano roll. + * A more intuitive design approach for the scroomer (scroll+zoom). + * Note names can now be displayed in the scroomer, it can either use MIDNAM data, generic note numbers or 12TET names. + + + +### MIDI Velocity Improvements + +After receiving many requests by users over time, the devs of Ardour have finally added **a traditional velocity lollipop interface**. + +This interface consists of vertical bars with a dot on top that can be used to change the note velocity. I suggest you go through the video above to know more about its implementation in Ardour 8.0. + +### Region Grouping Support + +![][8] + +Similarly, this was also a long-time requested feature by users. ' **Region Grouping** ', gives you the ability to select multiple [Regions][9] and group them into a single element. + +These can then be moved/trimmed together to decrease the repetitive task of doing that for each element in the Region. + +### Notarization for macOS + +When you install third-party software on Apple computers, it warns you that it can damage your system or include malware. Of course, for users unaware, this could be a bad user experience, and they may not proceed trying it out. + +Ardour decided to join and pay for an Apple Developer account to utilize its [Notarization][10] system. + +So, next time you install Ardour on macOS, it will indicate that it has been verified/checked by Apple for malware, giving users more confidence in it. + +### 🛠️ Other Changes + +Here are a few other changes with this release: + + * Support for freehand automation drawing. + * Inclusion of three new MIDI arpeggiator plugins. + * A dedicated ruler feature to arrange a composition. + * Various improvements for BBT markers. + + + +You can go through the [official release notes][11] to learn more about this release. + +## 📥 Download Ardour 8.0 + +As Ardour is a cross-platform app, you can find packages for **Linux** , **Windows** , and **macOS** on its [official website][12]. + +[Ardour][12] + +You can also check out its [GitHub repo][13] if you want to dive into the source code. + +* * * + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/ardour-8-0-release/ + +作者：[Sourav Rudra][a] +选题：[lujun9972][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/sourav/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://itsfoss.com/best-daw-linux/ +[2]: https://news.itsfoss.com/ardour-7-0-release/ +[3]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/size/w256h256/2022/08/android-chrome-192x192.png +[4]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/10/Ardour_8.0_1.png +[5]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/10/Ardour_8.0_2.png +[6]: https://novationmusic.com/products/launchpad-pro +[7]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/10/Ardour_8.0_3.png +[8]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/10/Ardour_8.0_4.png +[9]: https://manual.ardour.org/working-with-regions/ +[10]: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/notarizing_macos_software_before_distribution +[11]: https://ardour.org/whatsnew.html +[12]: https://community.ardour.org/download +[13]: https://github.com/Ardour/ardour
