rncbc.org has announced the (northern) Mid-Fall’26 releases of Qtractor version 1.7.0, and the Vee One Suite version 1.5.2 of old-school software instruments, for GNU/Linux.
Changes for this Qtractor release:
- Features a brand-new, basic audio clip editor (Clip/Edit). CAVEAT: Although it is possible to edit large audio files, doing so can consume considerable time and disk space.
- The new audio clip editor includes a small set of audio tools, which are also available from the main menu (Clip/Audio/Tools): Gain, Panning, Normalize, Time Stretch, Pitch Shift, Reverse, all can be applied to the entire audio file or to a selected region.
- Added Clip/Properties… to the main menu to open the common and familiar clip properties dialog.
- Audio clips can now be unlinked (Clip/Unlink).
- Audio clips: draw a hatched pattern to mark a region with no audio samples.
- Prevent fade-in/out handles from moving off the clip when either edge is resized.
- VST3 plug-ins: ensure that all parameter values are normalized.
