[ANN] Qtractor 0.9.25 - A Winter'22 Release batch #3

[rncbc]

Hi everybody,

• Qtractor 0.9.25 (winter'22) is released!

Change-log::
- Hopefully fixed an old MIDI off-timing bug noticeable only when exporting (Track/Export Tracks/Audio...) on large buffer-sizes (>= 2K frames/period).
- Clip/File Loop Set menu command is now a toggle.
- Fixed problem with punch-in/out and loop-recording being lost when stopping the play-head right after and between the loop-start and punch-in points, even though at least one cycle or take is through.
- Dropped autotools (autoconf, automake, etc.) build system.
- A more verbose warning question is issued, on whether to continue saving to an existing zip/archive directory and accept to replace and erase all its current data in the future.
- Fixed potential crash on session close or application exit, when some plugins have been removed.



Description:
Qtractor is an audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application written in C++ with the Qt framework. Target platform is Linux, where the Jack Audio Connection Kit (JACK) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) for MIDI are the main infrastructures to evolve as a fairly-featured Linux desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home-studio.

Thanks for the good work!

For us Ubuntu users Mr. Capela himself (if I'm not mistaken) also has a repository on Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~rncbc. Example to add it to Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (= long term support) 'The Focal Fossa':

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rncbc/apps-focal
sudo apt-get update

I hope that this is the right info for Ubuntu, Rui.

qsynth and qsampler don't update with the repository for me (kubuntu 20.04), I think because of dependencies.

qsynth needs libfluidsynth3 and I have libfluidsynth2
qsampler needs libgig10 and I have libgig9

On the Launchpad site there are more repo's than the 'Applications' repo. There's also 'Libraries' and 'Qt 6.2 Static Libraries'. Maybe you need to activate one of those...

perhaps only the 'Libraries' (libs), the 'Qt 6.2 Static' are only needed for building the vee-one plugins.

This worked.

For info, LMMS 1.2.1 needs libgig9, so you can't have that and the latest Qsampler installed at the same time. It held the qsampler update back until i forced the issue, at which point it uninstalled LMMS. LMMS is available as an AppImage, so possible to have both anyway.
