Ok, I see a trend there

Hi
An idea : display in real time the number of votes !

Done:

There are 15 competition entries and 17 users have voted on them so far.

So, we could use more votes. Spread the word!

Do you see the votes for each title?

Probably just needs a page reload (try Shift-Ctrl-R).

Do you see the votes for each title?

No. The general opinion trends seems to be to not show any scoring info before the end of the voting.

ahh ok... I thought it's +1

I had a question from a competition participant yesterday. how does one export presets for LinuxVST plugins from Ardour? I tried, but I couldn't figure it out myself.

For LV2 plugins you can always just copy the *.lv2 directory from your ~/.lv2 dir, but does Ardour export *.fxp files?

Just talked to Robin at IRC. The presets in Ardour for VST plugins are stored in the folder ~/.config/ardour5/presets

I've uploaded the preset directory to my github repo
but I've only saved presets which didn't load by default in Ardour (hoping somehow magically it works .. and it does .. kinda)

@rghvdberg: Thanks, found the presets on my system.

Unfortunately, Ardour uses its own XML-based format to store presets, so you can't import them in DAWs, which expect the standard FXP files.

So I wrote a little converter in Python:

https://github.com/SpotlightKid/ardour2fxp

This is alpha-stage software, but despite the warning in the readme, it generally works. But I've only tested it on very few files and there are some bytes in the FXP files it creates, where I have to guess the value, because the Ardour preset files do not provide enough information. But judging from FXP files, which other programs create, nobody seems to care about these bytes anyway.

(had more favourite tracks then voting slots, grumble, grumble, it's like killing puppies)
