QUOTE (Jibreel @ Oct 17 2005, 12:33) would be very funny if this app has the saem audio editing power as pro tools in its arrange page. well, its goal is to eventually equal and surpass pro tools in this area. It already surpasses pro tools in audio hardware/platform compatibility and price

Can someone please help? Like other reviews i read it seems that a few ppl are having trouble getting this application to run, and myself being one of them. My problem is that when i run Ardour it seem to just crash and what im left with is just X11 being displayind in the finder with the terminal window activated. Is this where i need to be and i just have no idea what to do next or is it just not going to run on my computer (G4 powerbook). Please help cuz i would love to make a donation to this guy if i could get it to work!

One more thing, why will the ardour-beta.dmg work but the 0.99 will not?

Ardour checks for VST plug-ins, if you have one installed which is displaying a window on the host start up it'll stop on the sport Ardour to load.
Save this it launched perfectly here. So check the plug-ins, repair your permissions, restart and tell us if it occurs again.  I've not been able to compile other plug-ins BTW, it needs a PhD to do so as it's the script of the Make Install which is done for Linux and not for OS X (some hoodlums in the way dynamic libraries are made). You can find the SWH plug-in suite Here in a .dmg for OS X, note that it's a try at it from the developer, so please give him feedback if you have a problem. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home

Cool thanx I found out that i didnt remove all my vst-plugins (could have sworn i did), but now it works great. 0.9Beta30 version would allow them?

I have not checked the differences between versions but as the VST wrapper appeared along the line I doubt.
Note that ONLY the VSTs with a window opening on start up block Ardour (unsupported opening of window in X11), so it'll be usually the demo, you can left the other plug-ins in place. Time to make some cleaning up down there

It looks like alot of this has been worked out now. Two days ago I installed .99 on my iBook G4 (12" 1.2 Ghz, 1.25 GB RAM, running off a LaCie Firewire drive). I downloaded Jack and installed it, started the Jack Server, started Ardour, and I have been using it without much problem. I had a small bug where a file I imported kept on importing over and over again. I had to kill X11 to get it to stop. Other than that I have had no problems and I love the program.

Hello,
I'm a virginal mac user (12" G4 powerbook). I did a lot of recording and sound editing on Cool Edit on my PC but decided to get a mac to step up the recording process a couple months ago. Anyways, I simply can't afford Logic or ProTools so I figured I'd try Ardour. However, I can't get it to work. Much like the other people, as soon as I try to start it up, it crashes on me. I've moved it to the first level of the applications menu, installed jack and X11SDK and still haven't had any luck. Can anyone make any other suggestions that might make sense to a new mac guy? cheers. |

OK, here is how I run it.
1. Start Jack Pilot (comes with Jack for OS X) 2. Start Jack (by hitting the start button on Jack Pilot) 3. Start Ardour by clickiing Ardour icon. X11 Starts automatically. (I have had Ardour crash on startup once doing it this way. You can start X11 manually and then start Ardour if you like) Here are a few other tips: -If you are using Tiger, make sure you have the Tiger version of Ardour. -Make sure you have X11 installed (X11SDK is different) X11 is installed by running the Optional Installs package on Your OS X DVD. You run the installer and eventually you will hit a screen that has " Applications" and a small triangle to the left of it. This will then show you a bunch of Apps and at the bottom of the list is X11. Hope this helps. Also, for more help with Ardour, go here: http://www.nabble.com/Ardour-f460.html The developers themselves are there and are very helpful.

Proud_chef, be aware that any VST plug-in which opens a window on start up (like a demo for example) WILL block Ardour. Just Quit, clean the ~/library/audio/plug-ins/vst folder and up you go.
Also, as you're a newbie on macs, it always a good idea when you have installed something to repair permissions after with the Apple drive utility. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
