Re: Ardour headache

If you can move the note vertically, but not horizontally, you are probably in "lock" mode. The default shortcut is "1", it toggles between slide , ripple and lock , and it is easy to activate it without noticing that something changed—been there myself. Since several days you a...

Re: Ardour headache

Probably thanks to Kott, it is in the repositories.

It installs fine, but I get stuck at midi instrument, when I want to add a midi track.

Right now it says no instrument, need to figure out what that is about. :)

Re: Ardour headache

I cant believe how much time I loosing on just the drums of when the levee breaks. I do hear I am not doing it right yet, but am getting close. I hardly get to try fixing it, because of Ardour. Then when I want to just move a kick drum, Ardour fights me. Moving a kick drum is an issue ? Are you kidd...

Re: Ardour headache

I do not like to give up yet, but I am starting to wonder.

Ardour might just not be right for me.

Not one thing I tried went smooth. Ardour seems to fight me at every step. :(

Re: Ardour headache

Why cant I edit or move certain notes ? :?

I am tempted to just start over, not much would be lost, but I first would like to know what I did wrong, or am doing wrong.

Switching to internal editing mode does not help.

Re: Did I see an Atari, with Jean Michel Jarre live ?

I looked at the Atari ST Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atari_ST Plenty of professional quality MIDI-related software was released. The popular Windows and Macintosh applications Cubase and Logic Pro originated on the Atari ST (the latter as Creator, Notator, Notator-SL, and Notator Logic). Ano...

Re: Ardour headache

Baby steps.

I can now drum on my midi controller.

Red zeppelin plugin.

In ardour under window, pick midi connections manager.

Then find your midi hardware, and connect it to midi in.

Re: Your first DAW !

Many years ago, I used Cubase on an Atari ST. I had borrowed a Yamaha DX 7 from the computer club at my work. From that computer club is also were I got a hacked Cubase from. Cubase back then needed a dongle, but not this version. Back then some people had paid for Cubase, but because of the dongle ...

Re: Ardour headache

Maybe I should try those too. Can they time stretch though ? That's how I ended up with Ardour. An American who can play guitar and want me to add drums to his guitar play. I am starting to understand why I struggle so much. I have a problem, google it, think I found the solution, but then the expla...

Re: Ardour headache

Baby steps, I have my midi controller showing in Ardour. 8) Off course it does not produce sound yet. :( Seems I need to do some routing. Ardour is driving me nuts still, but I will get it all working. Watching some you tub vids on how to connect a midi keyboard. I am not having fun, I never would h...

Re: Ardour headache

I made a bit of progress. (after some studying of the routing in Ardour) Started a new session, picked empty template. Then added a midi track and selected the red zeppeling drumkit. At first the kick drum at C2 did not seem to produce sound, but I seem to have fixed that. (don't ask me how though) ...

Re: help needed, is my music repetative ?

Yeah Grandmaster Flash and the furious 5 had a message (pun intended). It was not about bitches and money. I still think I made something catchy but my duality tracks does needs work. :) A common problem when I work on a track, it gets drilled into my mind and I like it. Then when I let the track re...

Re: help needed, is my music repetative ?

The feedback I got on the duality track nearly made me quit. :oops: After giving it a rest for months, and just listening to it again, the person from the LMMS judges does have a point, even though I suspect he does not like house (edm) music. Although there are minor changes during the track, most ...

Re: Ardour headache

I switched Ardour to jack. (from alsa) And it just works, no errors or complaining :shock: To be clear, I am running pipewire, but have jack installed. Now I can at least hear unfa on you-tube with Ardour open. :) I am tempted to uninstall hdmi. :wink: More serious I am gonna look if I can disable i...
