I just realized that an older track of mine fits perfectly for today:
Spotlight Kyd - Parta Eklipso
https://soundcloud.com/spotlight-kyd/parta-eklipso
I created this track using only free and open source plugins for my presentation at the #Sonoj Convention in October 2023.
You can also buy this track on BandCamp:

The #Ardour project of this track is available in this repository:

Arrrrrgh; I am getting crazy (or almost - I better simply go to bed now)
#Ardour 9.7
I want simply to split a stereo audio track into two mono tracks and pan each mono track hard left / hard right to have it again in stereo, just in separate tracks.
The most easy thing , right? RIGHT?
Well, except... its not.
All tutorials say, Region --> Edit --> Make Mono Regions
In Region View (good luck finding it, I finally did) then instantly the two mono clips appear, drag n drop 'em into your mono tracks.
NOPE! They do not appear. I can click and click and click and click and click on Select Stereo Clip (not the track btw.) with RMB - there is an edit option but with nothing interesting in the pulldown, but the pulldown also has again the name of the Clip, there is another pulldown level when choosing this with much more options, again with edit. The Edit pulldown (3rd level now) has the "Make Mono Regions" option, click it... nothing.
Again and again and again and again. Also from the Regions menu on top, also rightclicking the region in the region list view (there is evenutally the "Make Mono Regions" entry somewhere). No two mono clips. One stereo clip, that is all.
Checked those bloody lengthy 5 years old Youtube tutorials, really bad explained forum threads, its basically all the same. Select, edit, Make Mono Regions.
I could load the stereo track twice and pan it hard left and hard right, but I refuse to do that because it hurts thinking this way.
If anyone good with Ardour 9.7 knows what to do, I'd appreciate the hints :)
Sorry if I might appear slightly aggressive, it's just one hour without productivity wasted - that's the mood... I'll calm down eventually. :) -

DRM (digital rights management, or more appropriately, digital restrictions management) is ironically what introduced me to Linux-based operating systems in the first place. I was unhappy with the proprietary shit show and decided to look for an alternative. It was then that I found #ardour and I've been using it ever since. https://ardour.org/ #daw #digitalaudioworkstation #linux @ardour

@unfa Sojuzstudio on #ardour IRC reminded me that there is already a GUI for it:
https://github.com/huddx01/audiowmark-desktop
Looks like it has a database for keys as well. Go figure!

🧵 … but anyways, always make sure to have #Ardour with you for some multitrack recording… via #Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS), this time… Dante Controller took almost 50% of the CPU of this old #MacBookPro 2017. Due to some unforeseeable changes I had to switch DVS to 32 channel mode in order to record 19 channels.
I'd feel much safer with my #RME #Digiface Dante setup running with a #MacMiniM1 (and Ardour), but budget-wise not even a MacBook Pro 2017 is properly paid on this gig.

Schon seit gestern bin ich als @no-tlb in der #FreieKunstakademieNürtingen zugange als Kunst-Techniker für @annaohlmann – hier in der Abteilung Audio-Verabreichung von verschiedenen Signalen auf verschiedene Arten auf drei Funkkanälen von 20 Kopfhörern. Die RezipientInnen können sich am Kopfhörer ihren Empfangskanal selbst wählen.
Das #AllenHeath #cq12t wird von #Ardour auf #macOS via USB, einem Boss Looper und anderem gefüttert. Es routet die Signale auf die Kopfhörer-Kanäle, bügelt deren seltsamen Frequenzgang etwas aus und sorgt mit einem Limiter für eine gewisse Sicherheit vor Verzerrung an den Eingängen der drei Sender-Einheiten.
Wer mehr über das interdisziplinäre Abschlussprojekt „Caldera” erfahren will, sollte am Freitag ab abends bis Sonntag zum #Rundgang der #FKN in #Nürtingen auflaufen und / oder diese Website beäugen: https://fkn-kunstakademie.de/caldera/
(Beim Rundgang stellen Studierende und Absolvierende einer Kunstakademie aus.)

We want to use the recordings as a pre-production that we can give to any studio where'd we'd like to record a possible full length so that they get an impression of what we do and what we sound like.
The first track that is more or less finished is Working Drone, our denunciation of corporate culture. Here it is. Recorded, mixed and mastered with #Ardour on #Debian #Linux with #FOSS plugins only.

I spent the afternoon fixing #ardour to correctly convert sessions that were created with Ardour 2.x in 2006.
A user found a nice forgotten song. Ardour 9.7 loaded the session, but external sends to busses were not connected. Fixed now in in Ardour 9.7.120.
If you also find some Ardour jewels on some old backup disk, and they don't correctly load, you know what to do: We strife for backwards compatibility. So file a bug report!

A little "Lunatics!" 2026 status update:
This has been a long, hard road -- over a decade, in fact, with many bumps, side excursions, and detail that will require several chapters in a book I plan to write to actually explain, but...
:ani_dab_r: ANIMATION ON EPISODE ONE IS FINISHED! :ani_dab_l:
:smug_dance:
I AM NOW TRANSFORMED INTO A "SOUND GUY".
:ab1nzyblob2::kermit_shout::microphone::audacity::freesound::archive:
At least for awhile.

🎵🎛️ PipeWire 1.6.8 a fost lansat: Repararea unui defect critic în JACK MIDI salvează sesiunile din Ardour
PipeWire, motorul multimedia modern care a revoluționat gestionarea fluxurilor audio și video pe Linux, a primit o nouă actualizare de mentenanță extrem de importantă: versiunea PipeWire 1.6.8. Această lansare este una crucială pentru inginerii de sunet, muzicienii și creatorii de conținut din ecosistemul Linux, deoarece vine să rezolve o eroare spinoasă care afecta în mod direct stabilitatea producției audio profesionale.
Principalul punct de atracție al acestei versiuni este eliminarea unui race condition (defect de sincronizare) din implementarea JACK MIDI, o problemă care dădea bătăi de cap utilizatorilor celebrei stații de lucru audio digitale (Ardour).
Iată detaliile cheie ale acestei actualizări:
🔹 Corecția salvatoare pentru JACK MIDI și Ardour:
În ecosistemul de producție audio de pe Linux, sincronizarea milimetrică a notelor MIDI este vitală. În versiunile anterioare de PipeWire, un defect subtil de sincronizare (race condition) în emularea backend-ului JACK MIDI putea duce la pierderea pachetelor de date, note „agățate” (care rămâneau pornite la infinit) sau, în cel mai rău caz, la prăbușirea instantanee a aplicației Ardour în timpul sesiunilor complexe de înregistrare. PipeWire 1.6.8 elimină complet acest comportament, asigurând un flux de date MIDI impecabil și predictibil.🔹 Compatibilitate crescută și latențe mai mici:
Pe lângă repararea bug-ului legat de Ardour, noua versiune aduce optimizări pentru stratul de compatibilitate cu hardware-ul audio profesional (ALSA și serverul clasic JACK). Au fost îmbunătățite protocoalele de negociere a dimensiunii buffer-ului (buffer size), reducând riscul apariției acelor zgomote parazite extrem de enervante (cunoscute sub numele de xruns sau pocnituri audio) în momentul în care procesorul este solicitat intens de plugin-uri VST.🔹 Stabilitate sporită pentru Bluetooth Audio:
PipeWire 1.6.8 nu îi uită nici pe utilizatorii obișnuiți. Modulul de gestionare a codecurilor Bluetooth (cum ar fi LDAC, aptX sau AAC) a primit patch-uri de stabilitate. A fost rezolvată o problemă care bloca uneori comutarea automată a profilului audio de la „High Fidelity Playback” (A2DP) la modul de căști cu microfon (HSP/HFP) atunci când utilizatorul intra într-un apel pe Discord sau Zoom.🔹 Implementare rapidă în distribuțiile Linux:
Fiind o lansare din seria 1.6.x, actualizarea menține compatibilitatea totală cu versiunile anterioare și nu necesită modificări în fișierele de configurare existente. Ea va fi împinsă în mod nativ în depozitele oficiale ale distribuțiilor axate pe producție multimedia și actualizări rapide (cum ar fi Arch Linux, Fedora sau Ubuntu Studio) în următoarele zile.Pentru oricine folosește Linux pentru producție muzicală sau streaming avansat, trecerea la PipeWire 1.6.8 este un pas obligatoriu pentru a garanta o sesiune de lucru fără întreruperi și fără erori de sincronizare.

@doeidag Afgelopen zondagochtend heb ik #Immich bijgewerkt naar de nieuwste versie. Deze kun je nu binnen Android gebruiken als default gallery app dus definitief doei Google Photos. 's Middags heb ik een poging gedaan een nummer van mijn band @[email protected] in te zingen. Hiervoor heb ik #Ardour gebruikt op een laptop met #Debian #Linux. Het resultaat wil ik gaan delen met #Clapshot. Dat was mijn #DoeiDag.
