Qtractor Audio/Midi conflict

Post by valveman »

Hello all,

I've got what seems to be an audio/midi conflict in Qtractor (0.5.7).

I've only just started using Linux based DAWs so forgive me in advance if I have overlooked something obvious.

I can create/record/playback a MIDI track absolutely fine.

I can create an audio track fine but as soon as I import an audio clip Qtractor stops recognising any MIDI data on existing or new MIDI tracks.

Can anyone offer an explanation/solution.

Many thanks!!

Many thanks @FalkTX for your incredibly speedy response!

You're right, starting Qtractor with the plastique theme solves the issue.

You learn something new everyday - though why GTK messes this up is a mystery to me.

Should I change the qt4 config to start all qt apps with the plastique theme or would it be better to ditch Unity and go for an alternative - if so do you have any recommendations?

many thanks again.
