The Recorder

+ +

+ The Recorder window is a very specialized view that provides + a compact view of all track's record and monitor status, and a simplified + timeline that keeps everything in view at once. Most of the information + that is shown in this mode is already available in Mixer or Editor mode, + but the Recorder aims at having everything in sight and under control + while tracking a performance. +

+

+ The Recorder is covered in great detail in its own + page. +

+ +

The Cue Grid

+ +

+ The Cue Grid window, unlike the rest of Ardour, allows for + a non-linear workflow. It is a clip launcher, that allows to chain and + combine various loops and samples, and program events. +

+ +

+ Instead of anchoring these samples or loops on a timeline, the Cue Grid + gives them instruction on when they are triggered, how they are played, + what happens at the end of the clip, etc… +

+ +

+ The Cue section of this manual describes this worfkow. +
