I would be curious to know your opinion about Ardour becoming less and less "free".
is it? how less free? it's still free open source isn't it? it's still GPLv2 last time i've checked, so it's free open source software to all (my) senses. where did you get that idea? :)
I think that Qtractor should be independent from its environment; I mean it looks very ugly (and not very "professional") in gtk environments like ubuntu. (I know we can change the colors for all the applications but don't want to modify everything...)
i see. try running it as `qtractor -style plastique` instead; it cannot do a thing about the colors because it frankly inherits the ones configured for your desktop environment; hwoever if you're willing to change that and noting that will affect ALL Qt4 based applications, not only qtractor, you can setup your own color palette via `qtconfig`.
I am surprised that it's up to us to go and find a "click"!
you mean audio metronome samples? yes. if you find it a problem on choosing your own you can have someone else's from this topic: Metronome sounds :)
I wish once a track has been recordered I could simply right-click on it (or a selected region" and select "loop".
you can just simply click once on it--which selects the whole clip, making it current as well--and then hit menu Clip/Loop Set. that's it.
I wish the waveforms were a little more precise/definite as I think they look a little rough.
yes they look like that on deeper zoom levels (horizontal time), but that's quite intentional since ever;) on my call, i'm fine with it as is. making a more prettier and precise option will be just about consuming more cpu (and developer, me) resources and trading precious audio/musical performance for subjective visual eye-candy ;)
