Ardour 9.10 is now available for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
The open-source DAW release introduces real-time waveform rendering for region gain changes, multi-channel automation editing, improved MIDI tooling, and Linux-specific audio plugin compatibility fixes.
When the volume of a sound section changes, the image representing it can now be adjusted immediately. The feature is disabled by default. To enable it, go to the settings: Preferences > Appearance > Waveform > Apply region gain.
Users can also select and move multiple control points across different channels together. There is also an option to have these points and volume changes move together with the corresponding audio segments. This option is also disabled by default.
Trim commands now apply to the audio section under the mouse cursor when no section is selected. Users can also reduce the duration of a fade-in or fade-out without having to position the mouse precisely.
In digital music score editing, multiple points that control the volume of notes can now be selected and moved together in drawing mode. It is also possible to add notes to an existing selection by Ctrl-drag. Options have been added for timing correction, linking and converting notes, and removing overlaps. Timing correction of an entire section now applies to all notes in it, not just the selected ones.

On macOS, the new GUI layout improves performance, according to the developers. However, on some hardware combinations, the image still doesn't refresh properly. On Linux, issues with resizing and the operation of some audio plugins, including FabFilter, have been fixed.
The release adds a new driver for synchronizing with the computer clock, so that the timestamps generated by Ardour can correspond to the time of day and be used in recordings that require real-time timestamps.
Also fixed were issues with notes continuing to play after being moved to another point in the timeline, with playing auto-sets during looping, and with recording on multiple channels. Also fixed were incorrect channel switching on Mackie Controls and a crash when closing such a control from the GUI. Support for the Steinberg CC121 was also improved, while OSC controls gained additional recording commands.
A new feature automatically names multiple channels based on a range. For example, if the user types “Stem 1..8,” the eight channels will be named “Stem 1” through “Stem 8.” The feature is also available when creating multiple channels or audio groups. Finally, support for Lua scripts has been expanded, which can now be linked to more functions and change options in the graphical interface.
