Just going “Hey press xxx on menu yyy to do that.” I’m sure some of these problems would vanish with somebody over my shoulder What a frustratingly long session of pain. Nothing works like a tape recorder should.įor a while I couldn’t even get Ardour to start up, because I couldn’t load an already started project. I press the rewind button, but the red vertical line refuses to return to the beginning of the recording (presumabley 00.00). Later I found it on another screen: it had detached itself completely from the window and put itself somewhere invisible. Made the whole bar vanish like Firefox toolbar, only there is no option in the “View” menu to turn it back on again. I can’t even manage to turn a metronome on/off, or rather off, or even adjust its volume.Įverytime I do something that would seem reasonable, bam! something unexpected and ridiculous happens.Ĭlicking somewhere on the menu of buttons along the top (transport buttons), I turn up all the faders and can’t get squat into the master track.įrom the symptoms this has to be some misunderstanding or user error,īut all the menus are like Egyptian hieroglyphs. I press “solo” but don’t get solo tracks. I know the monitors are working, again because I can patch directly to them from System inputs or Hydrogen and hear drums or guitar. Nor can I get the sound to play through into the System Output (my external monitor amp and speakers). ![]() Yet there is no button or combination of same to make the master vu meter light up and monitor sound, I have made connectons from each track output to the master inputs. Nonetheless, the Ardour interface is totally bewildering, when I can’t get expected results. I have used basic mixing boards for some 30 years, from Soundcraft to Neve consoles, and even a few digital mixers. I know its there at the track inputs even when the vu meters don’t show it, because I can use Meterbridge to look at the signal. I know the signal is there, because I can patch it directly to System Outputs anytime. I can sometimes see the input signal in vu meters for each input track,Īnd sometimes I can see it in the master track (for instance when recording sometimes). I have input going into A/D converter card (m-audio 24/96 PCI, i.e., guitar and vocals).
