| Summary | 0007254: "Add new subgroup bus" is not working | ||||
| Description | The feature to add a track group submix bus is a very nice feature and saves a lot of time, but unfortunately, it harqdly ever works for me. Usually when I use that option nothing happens. In the past version of Ardour I think it even caused me some crashes. Currently I'm just unable to use it. I create a track group, I select the "Add new subgroup bus" from the context menu and nothing happens. Can anybody confirm this behavior? | ||||
| Additional Information | I'm running official stable 5.6 from the main Ardour downloads. | ||||

it works just fine. e.g. 38seconds into https://vimeo.com/191024580 or https://youtu.be/4idMZTxTaY8?t=12m31s (official 5.6 build) Can you provide more information and a recipe? Are there MIDI tracks in the group or audio-tracks with different number of outputs in the same group? In both cases an error message would be displayed (Window > Log) and the error button start blinking red. |

Ardour 5.6 64bit (Gentoo) Works for me when I: - Create a new session - Create 4 mono tracks - Create a new group from tracks 1 and 2 by dragging in the edit window on the left side of the track headers. - Click with left mouse button on group indicator on the left side of track headers, select Add New Subgroup Bus. Result: A new stereo bus is created and track outputs (in the group) are sent to the input of the Bus. This was on a "clean" session maybe the problem appears only on more complicated sessions ? Might be connected on the usage of another feature ? |

The session I experienced this in had 4 MIDI tracks that I grouped and wanted to create a subgroup bus for. All had ZynAddSubFX instrument plugin and fed stereo audio signals to Master bus. |

so you should have received a [WARNING]: You cannot subgroup MIDI tracks at this time Did you get that? |
|
|
It seems to me like two options to solve/improve this issue would be to either present a more obvious error dialog or perhaps preferrably only have menu entries in the group tabs context menu that are applicable. |

x42: I didn't see any warning. I tried now and after opening the Log window - I found this: "You cannot subgroup MIDI tracks at this time" So - it'd be fantastic if I could :) Becasue I create submixes for synthesized drumkits all the time, so that'll save me a lot of time. |
