Qtractor 0.9.4 - The Winter'19 Release

Submitted by rncbc on


Dear all,

Qtractor 0.9.4 (winter'19 beta) is released!

Changes for this season are as follows:

  • Drag-moving and copy-pasting existing clips, while over the main track-view, now shows the respective (audio wave-shapes and MIDI piano-rolls) graphical representations, as much as possible.
  • For good and bad, session name changes now trickle down to respective audio/MIDI file names as well.
  • Audio output monitoring meters may now be shown on MIDI tracks and buses as a default user preference option (View/ Options.../Plugins/Instruments/Show audio output monitoring meters) and also in plugin list context sub-menu (Audio/Meters).
  • Custom color (palette) themes can be exported to and imported from external files.
  • LV2 plug-in UI GTK2 and X11 in Qt5 host native support are now enabled on configure by default.
  • Fixed minimum input value as 10% (was 1%) for audio clip time-stretching in the Clip / Edit... dialog.

Description:

Qtractor is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

Hi Rui,

Thanks for the new version :-) Am just updating the wiki but am not sure what this means:

Audio output monitoring meters may now be shown on MIDI tracks and buses as a default user preference option (View/ Options.../Plugins/Instruments/Show audio output monitoring meters)

Can you tell me where the above is supposed to appear please? I've enabled it but can't see any changes.

I think I do understand and also in plugin list context sub-menu (Audio/Meters) though. This means to right-click in the plugin area of the Mixer (top panel) and choose Audio > Meters? If so, this works fine (audio meters displayed next to midi meter), but is it a separate thing to the above?

the first one is a global option: it takes effect on new sessions that are created or load after that moment.

the second one is a discretionary option:it takes effect immediately on the MIDI track (or bus) that is being actuated (see below).
