Ardour 8.0 is available now for Linux, Windows, and macOS, including the
latest release of macOS, Sonoma. Along with the usual set of important and
not-so-important bug fixes, Ardour 8.0 brings users substantial quality of
life benefits:

   - =E2=80=9CQuick groups=E2=80=9D - most mix-related controls now operate=
 on all the
   selected tracks & busses
   - Manage sections of a song with arrangement markers. Define your
   verses, chorus, and bridge. Then rearrange or copy them as you wish.
   - Create persistent region groups in the editor window, to make
   multi-region editing easier.
   - Edit velocity easily on a dedicated automation lane whether it=E2=80=
=99s a
   single note or a chord.
   - Draw automation freely for any controller or press Control (Command)
   key to enable line-drawing mode. You can also combine free and line
   segments as you draw just by pressing and releasing the Ctrl/Cmd key.
   - Fit the tempo map to a human performance, with a new dedicated tool.
   - If (e.g. drum) note names are available for a plugin instrument or
   external device (via a MIDNAM file), see those names in the all-new MIDI
   track header.
   - Use Novation Launchpad Pro in DAW/Session mode (along with the
   standalone Sequencer, Note and Chord modes).
   - Create new interesting progressions with arpeggiator plugins.

Some people will no doubt laugh at a few these =E2=80=9Cnew features=E2=80=
=9D, given that
they=E2=80=99ve been in some other DAWs for 20 years or more. That=E2=80=99=
s OK =E2=80=94 we laugh
too when we see other DAWs finally adding things that Ardour could do in
2005. [image: :grinning:]
