Worked with 3.4 for a bit. The Midi tracks are working well. Set up one to use Calf MonoSynth and one to use an external hardware synth. I had to j2amidi_bridge to send Midi notes over to the Alsa side that the hardware synths come in on and also to connect a usb/midi keyboard to the jack port side. Is there a better way to do this?
I haven't recorded anything yet, but it all seems to work pretty well so far and running very smoothly.
After I get used to working with the new MIDI editing parts, It looks very promising.

OK, It compiled and I have it started up. So, those instructions work other than needing to add boost-devel 1.39 or above. How well it works will take some time to test, though. I didn't compile with Ardour's modified library versions. I am curious how that will work out. It seems the fonts are different than with previous versions because of this already. Is it possible to install them on Fedora from the download links Ardour devs provides?

OK, sorry. I neglected to install the boost-devel package. I have done that now and the /waf configure worked, so the actual compilation should as also work. It's about 1/4 of the way done. I will report back...SeanOn Sat, Oct 12, 2013 at 12:19 AM, Sean Beeson <seanbeeson@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

With little effort, I found these instructions for Ardour 3.1:
https://blogs.fsfe.org/samtuke/?p=548
Please let us know whether they still work.
However, I feel we should start a discussion on what to do about Ardour,
now that they have asked distributions not to package their software.
This is actually a serious ethical dilemma.
Possible Options Include:
1.) Package Ardour 3 against the developers' wishes, making no
additional changes.
2.) Package Ardour 3 against the developers' wishes, making some change
that encourages donating money to the project.
3.) Continue to package Ardour 2, accepting responsibility for
maintaining software that's abandoned by the upstream developers.
4.) Drop Ardour from the distribution, since we do not wish to maintain
the Ardour 2.8.x series or package the Ardour 3.x series against the
developers' wishes.
5.) ?
I favour the first or second options, since the free software audio
community is so small that we can't afford the added difficulty of using
such an important piece of software. On the other hand, the free
software audio community is so small that we can't afford creating a
rift with the Ardour developers. If we choose one of these options, we
should be sure to involve the developers in our decision-making process.
If the SIG wishes, I would be happy to research the state of Ardour in
other distributions.
