Ardour: Back On Track. Maybe.
Posted on in Ardour, Hacking, LADWell, I've been working on Ardour but not directly on my SoC project.. finally got around to fixing that whole mixer-strip-element thing that's been on the table since last year. Things are more open to extensibility now (and a unified bus implementation should appear soon, so we'll have MIDI busses or even MIDI/audio (instrument) busses). Maybe we'll see things like this actually happen some time soonish...
It would be nice to figure out a really good MIDI meter (something more clever than just an audio peak meter abused), and a MIDI fader that can work in various ways, or even instrument plugin support, but it's probably time to get on the actual piano roll editing part of the project and leave that stuff until afterwards.
Kinda ruins my flow though, you know?
