Hi,

We're proud to announce the public beta 3 of Drumaxx :

It's limited to Image-Line customers only for now until it proves to be stable and the AU version is ready.

We will release it as "pay what you think it's worth" with a €9 minimum of which we give €1 to a charity in Haiti.

 

Discuss it here.

Enjoy!

Ardour 2.8.7 has been released and can be downloaded now. This is a bug fix release almost exclusively focused on OS X. These fixes enable correct operation and use of several "families" of AU plugins, including those from Stillwell/Schwa. If you've had issues with some AU's even after the 2.8.5 fixes, this is worth trying. Linux users who do not use the Czech translation have little reason to upgrade at this time.

Fixes

• Smarter decision making when deciding which in/out configuration to choose when handling an AU plugin that has several.
• When exporting/bouncing/consolidating, tell AU plugins the new processing blocksize so they will actually run during the process. Yes, that means what you think it means.
• Remove use of std::locale() which is utterly and completely broken on OS X, and causes a program to crash if used with any actual national locale.
• Don't reconfigure I/O of AU plugins when they already have the correct I/O configuration

People sometimes criticize a piece of software as being "unintuitive". In fact, its one of the most common complaints you'll hear whenever anyone starts using a new piece of software. Its often entirely justified too - its rare that a complex application manages to be obvious to every new user, or even most new users. Some software developers have a good track record here, Apple in particular, whose rules and guidelines for how to design user interfaces keeps on manage to churn out remarkably intuitive software. Well, it does as long the application is fairly simple and its scope is well defined. By the time you get to applications such as Final Cut Pro or Logic Pro, it would be hard to find anyone who found them "intuitive" in the same way that, say, iTunes or even Garageband is.

A catchy demo showing what our pedals can do with synths.

BPM 1.05 and Electric keys 1.0.2 are now shipping. If you own either one (or both), you can download the free updaters (for Mac or Windows). These maintenance updates introduce many enhancements, including 64-bit native operation under Windows 7 and Vista. BPM 1.0.5 also introduces several exciting new features, such as a new arpeggiator, beat slice editing and performance optimizations.

"This Balloon Bass + Green Big Muff improvisation is a great example of how unusual materials can be great sources for sound design – and a reminder to consider the musical potential of everything."
