Ardour 7.1 was released today with several new features, improvements and many bug fixes. It is a free, open-source, powerful, and cross-platform DAW (digital audio workstation).
The application is distributed under the GNU General Public License and can be installed on operating systems GNU / Linux, OSX, FreeBSD, and Windows. Its main developer is Paul Davis, who is also in charge of the tool JACK Audio Connection Kit.
Ardor 7.1 comes about a month and a half after the release of Ardor 7 to add some much-needed new features to the already powerful digital audio workstation development.
These include support for importing M4A audio files, a new adjustable Remove Gaps track processing function with adjustable threshold and output parameters, and the ability to display a low-level measurement of DSP processing information in the Performance Meters window.
This release also brings a customizable Slip Contents shortcut to Preferences, a new Track> Playlist menu with features for creating new playlists, support for specific CPU DMA latency values, two new MIDI editing functions (extend-selection and invert-selection) and arbitrary tracing of MIDI data for MIDI Tracer windows.
