On any + system that Ardour is running on, there is almost certainly a utility + called <command>sndfile-resample</command> which uses the same sample + rate conversion library as Ardour. This utility offers a great deal of + control over the sample rate conversion process, including quality + levels. Ardour uses the "best" quality internally. If you want a + different quality, you can use this tool to produce a rate-converted file + at the correct speed, and then import that into Ardour. + </para> + </listitem> + <listitem> + <para> + when timestretch is used to alter the length of a region, any + region-specific gain envelope is lost.

Workaround is to mute or remove the + crossfades before overdubbing. As a corollary to this, creating + crossfades that span other crossfades will not work correctly in this + version of Ardour. + </para> + </listitem> + </itemizedlist> + </section> +<!-- + <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" + href="Some_Subsection.xml" /> + --> +</chapter> |
