qtractor

Unfortunately the MIDI SPP is only accurate on 1/16 positions. Qtractor's position have a much higher resolution. At the moment Qtractor rounds the SPP which leads to non-synchronized positions.

Based on my experiences with jack_midi_clock I propose the same or a similar approach:

When playback starts, then send immediately

• MIDI CLOCK
• MIDI SPP of a position in the future, e.g. the next but one beats or 1/8 or 1/16 position

When this position is reached then send

At the moment the quality of time stretched audio clips is better with WSOLA than with rubberband when I use a factor of 1.5.

Since modern version of librubberband have a v3 API the quality can be increased. It's a bit confusing that – for example in Debian Bookworm – the lib is called librubberband2 with version 3.1.2 and the actual library is called librubberband.so.2.2.1. But there are 2 CLI tools: rubberband and rubberband-r3. So there is alreade the v3 API available.

When playback is running Transport/Backward moves the playhead but doesn't stop playback.

Some recent changes made Transport/Rewind and Transport/Fast Forward stop playback. Is it possbile to change it back to "don't stop playback"?

Greets,

One of my favorite drum synth plugins, stegosaurus, appears to have been given a new life. I compiled and installed but the LV2 UI is kinda b0rk3d when I run it from Qtractor.

Looks fine when I load the same LV2 via Carla (no extra black space at the bottom)

It may be worth mentioning the VST loaded via Qtractor behaves as expected.

I have solved the problem of not being able to customize the MixerStrip through QSS because they lost the visual selection display.

This is the solution, not only had to assign the custom property, also update:

...qtractorMixer.cpp line 780

Hi Rui:
QSS stylesheets require absolute paths for images.
I have decided to add the VTQ_PATH variable to the VTQ format.

This allows you to include image backgrounds. Also extra icons for QT elements such as the arrows of the QAbstractSpinBox, QCombox, etc.

Example:
qtractorPluginListView {
background: url(VTQ_PATH/Tecnico_Images/shelves.png);
}

This is just an idea to consider or not.

I've been thinking about how to set up the ability to assign properties to clips as a group.
I think that if you copy the properties of a clip, it would be feasible to make all the selected clips assign the property by copying and pasting properties.

Empty MIDI clips can be used to insert Lyrics and Markers to structure the project. I know Qtractor has Markers, but they are more useful for time changes than for flexible structuring when planning the project.

The only problem is that you cannot directly access the MIDI clip properties without going through the editor.

You can change the size of the clip text with QSS:
qtractorTrackView {
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
}

I have tried to be as clear as possible, both in the construction of the template and in the tutorial.

I don't know if I have succeeded.
I will wait a few days before indexing it to the general index and to the "How to" index so that you can review it if you want.

Any suggestions for improvement will be listened to.

I share the template for the tutorial:
Automation of buses (and any other element) with Midi Controller CC template.

The idea is that whoever wants to try it and give me feedback on:
* Is it understandable?
* Is it operational?
* Has it generated any errors for you?
* Also get suggestions etc.
