    This release also makes it possible to automatically activate supported control surfaces once they’re connected to USB MIDI ports. This feature currently works with the Ableton Push 2, PreSonus FaderPort 8, PreSonus FaderPort 16, Softube Console 1, and Contour Design Shuttle controllers.

    This is awesome. I’ve been holding back on control surfaces like this for a while.

    While Ardour 7.4 introduced sections to mark a range as a chorus and paste its entire contents and automation elsewhere, Ardour 7.5 improves this feature by adding some editor commands like cutting and pasting, copying and pasting, deleting, and inserting.

    Nice as well. That’s something I never knew I wanted until I had it. I suppose it’s time to upgrade from 6.9.

      I read that Ardour has great support for the Push 2, I wonder if I should try to get one for cheap now that the Push 3 is out.

      One thing I like about Ardour that was introduced in 7.4 (I think) is the ability to drag the bar count (1 2 3 4 5 6 …) to adjust the tempo. You can lock a bar to a given time (eg, bar 57 is to 3:01), and then drag the bar to create a tempo ramp (eg, put bar 61 at 3:15). It’s a quick an easy way to add tempo ramps to a performance with variable BPM.

      This video explains it much better than I do. 🙂
