Yeah, the Trim knob looks nice. It would look even nicer if the
colour was the same as the track colour rather than a different,
random colour for each track.<br>

<div>The Ardour project is pleased to announce the release
of 4.1. This release contains several new features, both
internally and in the user interface, and a slew of bug
fixes worthy of your attention. Encouragingly, we also
have one of our longest ever contributor lists for this
release.
<p> We had hoped to be on a roughly monthly release cycle
after the release of 4.0, but collaborations with other
organizations delayed 4.1 by nearly a month. Hopefully,
we will release 4.2 before the end of July.<br>

<h2>New Functionality</h2>
<dl>
<dt>Input Gain Control</dt>
<dd style="display:block"> Ardour's mixer now includes
an input gain control. In tracks, it is positioned
after the signal flow to/from disk, and so affects the
signal heard both when recording and during playback.
It can be found in the mixer strip, near the top
(honoring the top-to-bottom visual and signal flow). </dd>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>Playback- or Capture-only device support for ALSA
& Coreaudio</dt>
<dd style="display:block"> It is now possible to use
Ardour's native audio/midi backends for Linux and OS X
with devices that only provide playback or capture,
but not both. This can be useful, for example, when
editing using a pair of USB headphones, where
recording is not required. </dd>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>Save As</dt>
<dd style="display:block">Ardour finally offers "real
Save As", which will allow you to save the current
session to a new location on disk. Several options are
available, notably whether or not to copy all the
audio/MIDI files to the new location or share them
with the existing session. It is also possible to
create an empty version of the current session this
way. "Rename" now also works more reliably.
<p> The operation named "Save As" in previous versions
has been retitled "Snapshot (& switch to new
version)". Regular snapshotting continues to be
available as "Snapshot (& keep working on
current version)" </p>
</dd>
<dt>Windows assembler metering support.</dt>
<dd style="display:block"> Metering is one of the most
CPU-intensive operations done by Ardour, second only
to running plugins. On Linux and OS X, this has been
done using hand-written assembler code (more or less
the lowest level of programming language that exists).
Ardour 4.1 now has similar code for Windows, thanks to
Grygorii Zharun of Waves Audio. </dd>
</dl>
<h2>User Interface Changes</h2>
<dl>
<dt>Waveform rendering</dt>
<dd style="display:block"> Waveform rendering has been
dramatically sped up. In addition, the user interface
no longer waits for the images of waveforms to be
drawn, but can continue operations while they are
generated in the background. This dramatically speeds
up scrolling, both vertically and horizontally, though
you may see brief intervals of time when specific
regions are shown without a waveform. It will appear
very quickly, normally just a fraction of a second. </dd>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>Stationary playhead option</dt>
<dd style="display:block"> Activated via the main menu's
Transport submenu.. </dd>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>Layering: later is higher</dt>
<dd style="display:block"> Ardour 2 contained several
different models for layering overlapping regions,
which Ardour 3 simplified down to just one, most
easily termed "manual layering". Ardour 4.1 sees the
return of one of the additional layering modes, "later
is higher", which puts regions with later start
positions higher. No layering model is perfect for
every workflow, but we hope that the return of this
one will be useful for many relatively common ways of
working. </dd>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>hi-DPI support, part one</dt>
<dd style="display:block"> People on all platforms with
high resolution displays (e.g. Retina on OS X) will
now find far fewer "ugly" icons and text in the user
interface. The support will scale up to any sized
display. </dd>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>hi-DPI support, part two</dt>
<dd style="display:block">Linux and Windows users have
always been able to use the font-scaling control to
scale almost a lot of the GUI to their own personal
preference. This has now been extended by making many
elements of the GUI size themselves using the chosen
font size as a reference, rather than absolute pixels,
allowing it to work as you would expect even on hi-DPI
displays.
<p> OS X users with Retina don't have this option, but
the GUI will still automatically display
appropriately for their hi-DPI display. </p>
</dd>
<dt>Relative snap</dt>
<dd style="display:block"> this makes it possible to
move objects around without changing their
relationship to the grid. It is activated by using a
keyboard modifier while dragging, which defaults to:
Linux/Windows: Alt-Window OS X: Shift-Option. The
modifier can be changed in the Preferences dialog
(User Interaction tab) </dd>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>X-run counter in status bar</dt>
<dd style="display:block"> For those who don't know,
"x-run" is a term that stands for "overrun or
underrun", which describes a condition where the
computer fails to keep up with the flow of information
required by the audio interface. An overrun is where
the computer fails to read incoming audio fast enough;
an underrun is where the computer fails to deliver
audio fast enough. You should ideally never see any
x-runs on a properly configured system, but we don't
all live in an ideal world. </dd>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>Plugin parameter reset button</dt>
<dd style="display:block"> In a generic plugin GUI,
Ardour now shows a button that will reset all plugin
parameters back to their default value (as best as the
default can be determined). </dd>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>Allow deletion of MIDI Program Changes using the
Delete key</dt>
<dt>Peak meters now have sample-accurate fall-off, no
visual jitter</dt>
<dt>Automation-lane log-scale parameter support</dt>
<dt>New 0dBFS peak meter</dt>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>Tap tempo</dt>
<dd style="display:block"> When editing or adding a
tempo, the dialog now offers the chance to tap the
tempo you want to use. </dd>
<dt>Remove time</dt>
<dd style="display:block"> This editing operation
removes silence and audio from the edit point, and
then moves later material earlier. It can optionally
move markers, tempo and meter points etc. as well. </dd>
</dl>
<h2>Fixes</h2>
<dl>
<dt> No more x-runs & noise on session-open/close</dt>
<dd style="display:block">Note: JACK 1 users may still
experience occasional noise during session open.</dd>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>Fix stuck midi notes during save/auto-save</dt>
<dt> Fix stuck midi notes if loop-range is present</dt>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>Various MCP improvements & tweaks</dt>
<dd style="display:block">
<ul>
<li>panner width behaviour fixed</li>
<li>Control key puts v-pot into "fine" mode</li>
<li>Clean up profile editor to remove things that
don't/can't work</li>
<li>Add an option for the MCP .device file to set
the master position</li>
<li>Allow the removal of key bindings in the profile
editor</li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>Properly display JACK buffersize</dt>
<dd style="display:block"> When jackd is already
running, the Audio/Midi Setup dialog now displays the
current buffersize correctly (previously it always
showed 1024). </dd>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>Fix importing old A2/A3 automation</dt>
<dt> Fix Non Session Manager support</dt>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>VST plugins are now searched for using a case
insensitive comparison of their filename extension</dt>
<dd style="display:block">This matters when plugins are
on filesystems that are case-sensitive</dd>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>Relax gain/fader LPF to 25Hz (was 10Hz)</dt>
<dd style="display:block">Gain changes now happen
faster. Most people won't hear the difference, but
trained audio engineers will know what to look for.</dd>
<dt><br>
</dt>
<dt>Fix monitor-section polarity invert</dt>
<dt> Fix crash when switching backends.</dt>
