Relative paths for plugins in session documents

Forums

Absolute paths can present privacy and security problems if sessions are shared. While the risk is very low, it depends heavily on the user's chosen username and how much information that username reveals. Perhaps it's a negligible risk, but it's easy to avoid...

I know this doesn't affect lv2, but it does affect other formats.

aux send to a track?

Forums

hi, I was wondering if it's realistic for there to be an aux send to a track feature for future versions/development? (especially from one track to another track more so than from bus to track).

I feel if possible, this feature alone might, at least of myself, simplify the mixing workflow in Qtractor.

Instead of Buses acting as both input/output nodes as well as track groups,

Connecting Segments

Forums

Hi,

I am working to edit a single audio file. I remove the material I do not want by highlighting the segment as a rectangle and pressing the delete key. I then move the remaining part of the audio file to the left to place it next to the part I am happy with in the audio file.

I do more editing as described above. I listen to my work from the start. I find there are spaces between the segments of the audio clip. I think what is happening is that I am moving the remaining segments, but not connecting them to be a single segment.

Qtractor Feature Req: Automated Stems Export

Forums

(Solo Individual tracks from top down and export audio)

Hi.

I was wondering if it'd be possible for Qtractor to have an automated stems export feature.

Just on an end user level, something like the LMMS stem export process would be more than sufficient.

Just solo individual tracks from top down and export audio x total number of individual tracks.

What after the next release? Maybe ... fader and pan for controlling plugins?

Forums

I think Qtractor has evolved a lot and probably there will be no changes before the next release 1.5.10. So far, so good.

Is there some hope that we can expect fader and pan to be configured as source for plugins' parms, e.g. the fader (both in MIDI and in audio tracks) to control the volume of a simple amp plugin. That would be one way to allow post fader aux sends while retaining full backward compatibility.

The list in the menu presents a problem. It ignores everything after a dot (I assume to ignore the extension), and this prevents the display of project versions (which Qtractor formats by default as filename.version number.extension). Different project versions appear in the menu with the exact same name, which can be confusing.

On the other hand, being able to see the extension isn't a bad thing, since we might use two versions of the same project, one in QTZ and another in QTR.

Just an observation.

Regards.

Incorrect initial JACK transport song position

Forums

While playing around with mididings and a script that gets midi information from Robin Gareus' jack_midi_clock I noticed a little flaw with Qtractor as a JACK transport master:

  1. Start Qtractor

  2. Load a song, playhead is at 1.1.000 after loading in this example

  3. play a few bars

  4. stop playback

  5. End Qtractor

  6. Start Qtractor again

  7. Load the same song, playhead is at 1.1.000 after loading
