I had intended on putting Ardour through its MIDI paces this week,
so loaded up the new alpha9, started a new session, and recorded two
MIDI tracks. I haven't added plugins or automation. First off, I
noticed that alpha9 eats an incredible amount of CPU time. I
thought it may be because I was using a previous version of jack, so
I closed ardour and upgraded to the latest which is in the Fedora 14
64 bit repo, which is jackdmp 1.9.7. Now, it's worse! Upon
starting alpha9 (open existing session, which is my session with 2
MIDI tracks), I get a message in a pop-up window which says:<br>
<br>
"Please wait while Ardour loads visual data"<br>
<br>
And then consumes 100% of my processor for 3 or 4 minutes, is
totally unresponsive, and will not redraw the screen. I can connect
MIDI outputs and hit play after it comes back alive, and it works,
but when I hit rewind, it once again consumes 100% of the processor
and hangs ardour for several minutes. The machine still responds,
but ardour itself it locked.<br>
<br>
I can't go any further with testing this. It's a bummer. I was
motivated to start a new project on A3 and see what it could do.<br>

I'm testing Alpha9 tonight, and hope we have some time to
wring this<br>
out. I'm having some serious issues. I just now had this pop
up when I<br>
had let ardour set idle for a while:<br>
