Ardour 8.0 is an Apple-Friendly Update With Novation Launchpad Pro Support
|
||||
======
|
||||
Ardour 8.0 is a big upgrade with new hardware support, improved
|
||||
automation creation, and more.
|
||||
Ardour is one of the [best Digital Audio Workstations (DAW) for Linux][1] out there, audio professionals can use it for various use cases such as creating, recording, and mixing music or other types of audio.
|
||||
|
||||
We now have a major upgrade for the DAW. **Ardour 8.0** release comes almost a year after its [7.0 release][2] as a significant evolution in its development lifecycle.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's see what it has to offer.

## 🆕 Ardour 8.0: What's New?
|
||||
|
||||
![][4]
|
||||
|
||||
Ardour 8.0 promises a plethora of new features and big fixes.
|
||||
|
||||
And, with this release, the developers have also stressed that there are **no changes to Ardour's session file format** , so sessions created in the older versions of Ardour, from the 7.x series, should load without any issues.
|
||||
|
||||
Some key highlights include:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Support for Novation Launchpad Pro**
|
||||
* **Redesigned MIDI Track Header**
|
||||
* **MIDI Velocity Improvements**
|
||||
* **Region Grouping Support**
|
||||
* **Notarization for macOS**
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Support for Novation Launchpad Pro
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
Ardour 8.0 features support for Novation's [Launchpad Pro,][6] which is an electronic music instrument that consists of an 8×8 grid of RGB, velocity-sensitivity pads that can be used to accomplish various tasks.
|
||||
|
||||
With Ardour, it can be used to **trigger clips and clues** , **control gain levels** , **panning** , and even **send levels for tracks/busses**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Redesigned MIDI Track Header
|
||||
|
||||
![][7]
|
||||
|
||||
A **completely resigned MIDI track header** is here that features a couple of interesting changes. 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.
|
||||
|
||||

||||

||||
