<div dir="ltr">Ardour 3.5.357 is a <strong>CRITICAL</strong> bug fix release. <strong>ALL USERS ARE RECOMMENDED TO UPGRADE</strong>.
It includes an absolutely vital fix for a bug that could lead to audio
files going missing from the session file (though not from disk). Stem
export finally works reliably, and touch sensing with Mackie Control
devices allows correct recording of automation from the faders of
devices like the SSL Nucleus.
<p>
Another important change that some users will notice: when using the
mouse to click to add automation control points, Ardour now just adds a
new point where the user clicked, rather than attempting to preserve the
line shape. Control/Command-click will use the old behaviour. This
change followed some mailing list discussion in which it became clear
that although the behaviour now accessed via Ctrl/Cmd-click is
occasionally useful, it is mostly wrong.
</p>
<p>
As usual you can download it from <a href="https://community.ardour.org/download">the usual place</a>, and as usual subscribers get this update without cost. Thanks to everyone for their support (and encouragement).
</p>
<p>
Once again, the OS X release situation has still not improved, though a
demo 64 bit copy of this version is available (fully featured except
that is has does no saving or restoring of plugin settings, and no
plugin presets).
