Ardour 9.8 has been released, introducing features such as musical key and scale tracking, which allows users to visualize and auto-correct out-of-scale MIDI notes in the editor. The update also improves crash recovery by capping data loss during mid-recording crashes at five seconds and reconstructing partially written FLAC and BWF files with their metadata. Additionally, clip recording has been enhanced with a guaranteed two-bar count-in and a new modifier for locking clip boundaries during edits. This release reflects Ardour's commitment to stability and user-driven improvements, making it a valuable tool for hobbyists and small studios alike

Ardour 9.8 Released: Scale Tracking, Crash Recovery, and Clip Overhaul

Ardour 9.8 is live now, adding initial support for musical key and scale tracking that lets you visualize and auto-correct out-of-scale MIDI notes directly in the editor. The update caps mid-recording crash data loss at five seconds and reconstructs partially written FLAC and BWF files with their broadcast metadata intact. Clip recording now guarantees a two-bar count-in and features a new modifier that locks clip boundaries together during slip edits. You can download the free DAW for Windows, macOS, and Linux directly from the official community page.
