I still have the free version 6, which is apparently not great for MIDI, though that's all I do with it at the moment.Doeas Ardour 7 have better MIDI support? Might consider paying the small price...
MIDI definitely got better with 7.x, and I think 7.5 is supposed to have finished the refactoring they did on the tempo maps. Before, it was common for a note to not play if started exactly at the beginning of the bar, you had to nudge it a little bit.
What OS are you using?
I'm on Ubuntu Studio. I guess I'll give it a try!
Yeah, you can install from the package manager and later donate if you find it useful!
My package manager only shows version 6, am I missing a repository or something?
Huh, that's weird, 7.x has been out for a long time.
How are you trying to install? From the terminal you can do something like this:
Now I see why. I'm using Ubuntu Studio 22.04, which will only have Ardour 6.x in the repositories.
I usually use synaptic. On Ardours page the newest version can only be downloaded with an account and donation (which I will do today).
They also have a clip launcher now which is very cool. I just pay I think $3.50 a month, it's completely worth it. Have been paying that for about 6 or 7 years
