-Ardour is a professional digital workstation for working with -audio and MIDI. -
- --Ardour's core user group: people who want to record, edit, mix and master -audio and MIDI projects. When you need complete control over your tools, -when the limitations of other designs get in the way, when you plan to spend -hours or days working on a session, Ardour is there to make things work the -way you want them to. -
- --Being the best tool to record talented performers on actual instruments has -always been a top priority for Ardour. Rather than being focused on -electronic and pop music idioms, Ardour steps out of the way to encourage -the creative process to remain where it always has been: a musician playing -a carefully designed and well built instrument. -
- --Sample accurate sync and shared transport control with video playback tools -allows Ardour to provide a fast and natural environment for creating and -editing soundtracks for film and video projects. -
- --Arrange audio and MIDI using the same tools and same workflow. Use external -hardware synthesizers or software instruments as sound sources. From sound -design to electro-acoustic composition to dense multitrack MIDI editing, -Ardour can help. -
- --Any number of tracks and busses. Non-linear editing. Non-destructive (and -destructive!) recording. Any bit depth, any sample rate. Dozens of file -formats. -
- --AudioUnit, LV2, LinuxVST and LADSPA formats. FX plugins. Software -instruments. MIDI processors. Automate any parameters. Physically manipulate -them via control surfaces. Distribute processing across as many (or as few) -cores as you want. -
- --Best-in-industry sync to MIDI timecode and LTC. Send and receive MIDI -Machine Control. Sync with JACK transport and MIDI clock. Dedicated Mackie -Control protocol support, pre-defined mappings for many MIDI controllers -plus dynamic MIDI learn. Use OSC to drive almost any operation in Ardour. -
- --Complex signal flows are simple and elegant. Inputs and outputs connect to -your hardware and/or other applications. Use sends, inserts and returns -freely. Connections can be one-to-many, many-to-one or many-to-many. Tap -signal flows at any point. If you can't connect in the way you want with -Ardour, it probably can't be done. -
- --Import a single video and optionally extract the soundtrack from it. Display -a frame-by-frame (thumbnail) timeline of the video. Use a Video-monitor -window, or full-screen display, of the imported video in sync with any of -the available ardour timecode sources. Lock audio-regions to the video: Move -audio-regions with the video at video-frame granularity. Export the video, -cut start/end, add blank frames and/or mux it with the soundtrack of the -current-session. -
