I’d love to see a demo of this in action I’m going to experiment with it myself but it would be more efficient to watch someone who uses this technique already.Īn “ advanced editing in Ardour” tutorial that goes into more depth on the various editing tools, how to line up waveforms and how to position crossfades, the various trimming methods, etc. There’s a tantalizing but not very informative passage in the Ardour manual about using non-layered mode for recording spoken-word material, in conjunction with push-pull trimming (see ). While most of my audio work is on music, I’m currently working on a podcast series and I’m also creating a documentary film that involves recording a lot of voiceovers. Recording and editing podcast and other spoken word material in Ardour. Okay, here are a few tutorial topic suggestions: Tutorials would be awesome, but there are the Mixbus tutorials and a lot of that stuff translates to Ardour anyways. I’m just throwing this out there, because if the material is available and it would be easier/faster for you to do those videos, it might be better than shooting for the moon and falling short. If someone watches a video of you teaching ear training exercises and it really informed them they might be willing to ask, “What DAW is this clearly knowledgeable individual using? Oh, Ardour? And it costs 5% of ProTools? Wow, maybe I’ll look into that!”. Is the goal only to serve as a tutorial on how to Ardour? Or are we also interested (as someone suggested on the Open Source diversion thread that got me here ) in getting more people to use (and hopefully contribute) to Ardour? Because if its the latter, general production/mixing tutorials that happen to use Ardour might be great! I’m sure most of us learned a lot of what we know about mixing, EQ, compression, etc. I think it WOULD translate well, depending on our goal(s) here. Obviously I would cover some of my specific class teaching stuff, but my course uses Mixbus and various ear training exercises to teach people how to hear primarily, so some of ti won’t translate well to this format.Įven better maybe it can give Dan stuff to work on as well and make it so you aren’t waiting on me to make any:) Seablade As a result, let me ask:Ĭan you name specific topics or material you want to learn more about in Ardour and/or Mixbus? Pretty much while I can’t get anything done right now, if it hasn’t been addressed by the summer when I am no longer teaching and hopefully my live work drops off a bit, I might be able to sit down and record a fair amount all at once and start editing to post it, so long as I have a good clear list of topics to cover. I teach Mixbus in an introductory level at a university setting, so my style of teaching and video would probably be a better fit for people getting started, though a few of you now have asked for a workflow video or two. So I am more than willing to do some videos myself as well, my problem is time. Yes, the video could have included it but I think people might have switched off before the “juicy” stuff happened. “Tactics” vs “Strategy” to use a chess analogy.Īs a prime example, I watched a fantastic Pyramix video on classical editing (I referenced it in the classical mega-thread) but after watching, I needed to seek help with an experienced Pyramix user and re-read the manuals in order to even set up the session to make the editing possible. On the other hand, I also agree that a complete worklow (such as classical) is extremely useful to those who have the basics under their belt and want to know how all the different skills fit into a larger whole. I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed the Mixbus tutorial series! Short, bitesize chunks that gave me what I needed without having to necessarily read a manual. For those new to DAWs, tutorials definitely work. I’m less interested in “how to do x in Ardour” (which is mainly what Kenny Gioia’s excellent videos do for Reaper), and more interested in “how do I record and mix a piece of music from start to finish in Ardour, and what are the important considerations along the way?”
