Imagine a box high up on a pole somewhere in the Mission of San Francisco. Inside is a crappy Android phone, set to Shazam constantly, 24/7.

Culture surveillance. No one notices, no one consents. But it's not about catching criminals. It's about catching vibes. A constant feed of what’s popping off in real-time.

Riley Waltz built just that:

An amazing hack! Kudos!

except I hardly know any of the songs.

I'm very happy to announce Ardour 8!

It took 10 years for Velocity Lollipops and less than a month for a song arranger :)

Ardour 8 also features a new piano roll header, freehand automation drawing, Launchpad Pro support and a generous amount of bug fixes.

A complete overview of the changes can be found at https://ardour.org/whatsnew.html

For those who insist on ergonomic keyboards, I dare you to try this one :)

I didn't even know that "QPYCB" is a thing

(seen at designmuseum.org)

I've just implemented VST3 multi-bus support in Ardour.

Time to play with some fancy drum synths!
