Ardour software
To record, just click the enable button on your guitar track (the guitar track itself, not the send track) and you’re off and running. Now you can hit ‘play’ and jam and tweak the fx and levels on the sends (that you listening to) and hear exactly what you’re going to hear when you record. Now make sure all you record buttons are disengaged. Lastly, and this is optional, go to Ardour’s Options menu and click on ‘Rec-enable Stays Engaged’.
Create a ‘drum monitor’ bus and route hydrogen into it (to the Ardour bus only, not to the sound card outs). If, like me, you want to have the Hydrogen drum machine kicking along in the background, do the same thing with that. Put on your amp sim (SimulAnalog are the ABSOLUTE BESTEST ) and whatever else you like on that send ‘guitar monitor’ track as I like to call it and record away. The guitar track itself will cut out when you hit play/record, but that bus will play just fine, along with whatever fx you put on it. If your recording a guitar, assign the inputs directly to that bus (as well as to the guitar track of course).
#Ardour software software
This is intended for singers/songwriters and bedroom hackers who are hoping to use Ardour like they use Cubase or Tracktion.Īrdour does not behave exactly like Cubase or Tracktion, and despite the initial frustrations, that is NOT a bad thing!Īrdour’s way is a great way and totally works when you start to get it.įor software monitoring, set up stereo bus tracks for any inputs you are recording and wish to monitor.
I just posted this on Ubuntu’s forum and thought I’d put it here as well.
