qtractor

It happens occasionally and unfortunately I cannot reproduce it in a sample Qtractor session. I can't reproduce it reliably in my existing sessions, either.

Sometimes the playback of audio (I think it's all audio tracks to the same amount) is a bit delayed compared to midi tracks with instrument plugin. Mostly I encounter it while wildly positioning the playhead while playback is running but it can also happen at first play after having loaded a session. I can't recognize any systematics. I have no xruns.

I'd like to know if anyone else finds this useful.
I'm still working on this in parallel.
Being able to move or edit the "Master Default" would make the work much more fluid and logical.
I'm testing and have found that it is possible as long as a condition is met.
It is complementary to allowing a flexible flow in AuxSend, which Rui is developing now.

Condition: It is possible as long as after the action there are more than 0 inputs and 0 outputs

Pseudocode:

If (

I have edited templates in text mode and have successfully created templates with only one Masters Defaults bus in "non-duplex" modes.
Both audio and midi.
Everything has worked perfectly without any errors or crashes.
--- Post edited note ---
I didn't test enough.
In audio there seems to be no problems with just one input or output bus.
In midi it is essential to have an input and output, or Qtractor starts doing strange things.
I should have tested it thoroughly before publishing anything.

Hi Rui:

There are times when the plugin name alone doesn't make it clear what we're doing.
Either because the plugin name is cut off, or because the name alone is too generic.

That's why I think it would be helpful to be able to assign an alias to the plugins.

Here's a somewhat absurd, but illustrative example:

I needed the "Solo" functionality on buses.
Apparently Qtractor lacked this functionality.
False.

Once again Qtractor was able to do the job, I just had to create a way to get it done.

I've taken the liberty of creating a mini tutorial.
I hope it's as useful to you as it has been to me.

Using automation more and more, I'm constantly having to use the menu (each time) to set Mode/Color.

I tend to set all my lanes to the same color since there's really no benefit to using multiple colors. What I mean is, if multiple lanes (for a given track) could be seen at once, it would make more sense to distinguish by color. Since only a single lane can be seen though, there's really nothing to distinguish so the coloring is kinda moot. For this reason, I just use the same color over and over again because it looks good.

Following up this thread which has me trying to get this ripchord, a cool free software chord plugin, working with Qtractor.

ripchord doesn't generate sound so we need to connect the plugin's MIDI output to another plugin's MIDI in

Here are some things I've tried:

Track 1 Setup
Plugin: ripchord
Midi In: Master
Midi Out Bus: RIPCHORD

Hi Rui,

Is there any documentation on the Transport Mode button ?

Example:
Slave Node: X is disabled, Y is disabled and Z is enabled internally.
Master Mode: X is enabled and Y is disabled.
Full Mode: X is enabled, Y is enabled and Z is enabled.

Thanks, DaveMann

I used to just outsource this job to an external plugin host like Carla but I'd like to know if it's possible. Here's what I tried:

Given the recently added feature to visually link a selected track's corresponding mixer strip and audio bus, I think it would be really nice to add a keybinding allowing the user to navigate forward through the members of the group. In the interest of simplicity, it would operate in a single direction only which shouldn't be a problem since we're only talking about 3 objects at most. Also, it would wrap around. Assuming the user were to map this to Tab, the experience would look something like this:
