So, intro to multi track recording with Ardour, I guess. And all the virtual cabling… Then progress into what to do with the tracks once the tracks are in Ardour. So, some sort of course structure for the above is my goal. Source material for a variety of session types should be easy to come by, since the theatrical program provides lots of talent, in addition, the two music directors teach at local high schools and are private instructors as well.
In addition, the organization wants to do voice overs, adds, etc. An easy way to get organized is to choose a proper text and follow the order of subjects introduced therein.
I use the Huber Modern Recording Techniques 7th Ed which has a very logical flow and introduces microphones, type, choice, placement, digital basics, intro to DAW, etc. You could pair with another in the series or go with the Katz industry standard for mixing and mastering. For project files, you should plan on creating templates with the desired configuration at first.
Good examples are sparse, so I make my own. The blank canvas is too much to overcome at first. Or, depending on your population, just a really clean, well-recorded drum set mixed out to a few tracks. These are invaluable for mixing practice. Yea I can tell you what I do, which is a bit different from your use case Though may be changing soon as I rework the courses to be more generic curriculum instead of theatrically focused.
Right now I teach three classes, only two of which would apply for your process. I focus first and foremost on ear training exercises as I introduce topics of EQ, Dynamics, etc.
I do this both by lecturing and demonstrating these concepts in class and what they turn translate to in audible demonstrations, as well as by reading on their part ot understand the technical terms associated with these so that they can apply them as I am demonstrating the concepts or they are working on it.
As they progress through the book and concepts they begin to put together completed mixes from freely available material online and from recordings I have of live shows Remember this is a theatrically focused class currently. Distribute processing across as many or as few cores as you want. Use OSC to drive almost any operation in Ardour. Complex signal flows are simple and elegant.
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. Ardour is an open source, collaborative effort of a worldwide team including musicians, programmers, and professional recording engineers. Development is transparent — anyone can watch our work as it happens. Like a good piece of vintage hardware, you can open the box and look inside.
Of course, you don't have to … but one day the fact that anybody can will be useful. This openness forces a kind of integrity on the project that is hard to find in proprietary software, and helps us to focus on issues and features that matter to our users rather than stuff that just looks good in advertisements. Ardour is a fully functional digital audio workstation that won't cost you a penny. It's been a while since we mentioned Ardour, the open source digital audio workstation, in Apple Notes.
But it continues to evolve, both in terms of features and of supporters, and although the application started life on Linux, versions that run natively on Mac OS X now without the need for the X11 window manager to be installed have been available for some time. Although Ardour's user interface is a little quirky, it offers a tremendous level of functionality, providing features that are normally only found in more professionally oriented applications.
But best of all, both the SAE and regular versions of Ardour are free. The SAE Edition can be downloaded from www. There are now over 10, Apps available on the App Store for iPhone and iPod Touch owners, and while not all of these are necessarily of interest to musicians, this month I came across two worthy of a mention: a potentially indispensable tool for laptop users, and a synth that combines some surprising functionality with an appealing user interface.
One of the biggest drawbacks when working with music software on a laptop is often the lack of a numeric keypad, and although it's possible to add an external keypad to your system, it can be a real pain to remember to bring or buy such a device. The Configuration page offers a number of handy settings, such as a Delete key instead of Clear and a setting that tells the iPhone not to fall asleep while the app is running. There are also instructions for configuring a wireless network on your laptop, making it possible to establish a connection with your iPhone even when there's no other wireless network available.
The second iPhone app that raised my eyebrows this month was Amidio's Noise. Note the ribbon strip to the left of the interface, which is where you can adjust the value for the currently selected parameter.
