Hi,

I may be misunderstanding the forum construct. Is there a way to have email notifications of forum replies? If so, then how does a user account accomplish this result?

Thanks,

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.

(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.

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.

Hi,

I am working to finalize my recording work. Is it possible in Qtractor to review the attributes of an audio file for dB True Peak and Loudness Units Relative to Full Scale?

Thanks,

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.

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

As you know I have some strange issues that in some cases audio clips are played a bit too early especially when there are many clips that are produced when I have to split a big vocals clip to align parts of the vocals. Another issue that is reproducable on my weak machine (Core i5-2500T) is some crackling when an audio clip is retuned with rubberband finer enginge and formant preserve in a loop.

I found a workaround: automated mute/unmute just before the clip. Maybe it can avoid other glitches, too.

Hi,

I am enjoying Qtractor immensely.

I am struggling to understand how to navigate around a recorded file. The time display of the audio file works as expected. What I would like to do is to advance quickly through the audio file locations.

Are there keyboard commands to advance to say two minutes within the recorded file, or rewind say 45 seconds within the recorded file?

Thanks,
