Re: ardour - recording while playing a loop

2007-11-27 Thread Oscar
I've seen this in MOTU's Digital Performer. What they do is to record the
audio to the same file but dynamically create regions and stack them for
every new loop iteration.

I don't know if this means multiple independent time lines for ardour's
implementation, but I think is a good feature to have. And by stacking all
the iterations/takes it's easier to select the best fragments from different
iterations/takes and get the perfect take with some easy surgery :)

Just copying and pasting the loops wouldn't work for me, because I like 
to decide how many times to play a given loop while I'm playing, rather 
than having it laid out beforehand. I don't just loop the drums, I loop 
everything! Some loops are just pre-recorded sounds, and some are soft 
synths attached to Seq24, which is controlled by Ardour. (Thanks to 
people on this list who helped me figure out how to do this!)

However I found a solution to this that is so simple I'm embarassed I 
didn't think of it before: I open two instances of Ardour, one to 
control the loops, and one to record. Duh :-)

At least I have not figured out how to do that, but I usually do this:
- copy-paste the loop as many times as I need it on one track
and then
- record the other tracks.

I just copy-paste the loop so many times that I have enough them to
cover the entire song
if I so prefer. I usually do this with drums because my mind is full
of melodies, evolving pads etc.
but when it comes to constructing a drum loop, I usually come up with
something really boring.
So what I do is that I use some boring loop while I am playing &
recording the other tracks
and then replace it with some more interesting loops I pick from my
sample collection (I have several
sample collections full of drum loops). Sometimes I may leave the
boring loop in the background
and sometimes I don't. Maybe I should someday learn to do non-boring
drum loops by myself too...

Best Wishes,
Karoliina

I think the easiest way will be to record a fragment that is supposed to 
be looped and to duplicate it over in another track or in the same one, 
just like stated here:

RE: ardour - recording while playing a loop

2007-11-26 Thread greg emond

yeah in  ardour, its loop duplicatingjust crop the segment you want, and 
then duplicate it 75 times if you want.. Its a bit more time consuming, but 
result is same.  Rosgarden is just duplicating without showing you.just 
right click on the selected loop, and then select duplicate, and the number of 
times desired The only bummer is that you have to erase it all when you 
nailed your part.  oh well, I still love ardour.
 
its very common...you nail that killer riff once in a lifetime, so you 
duplicate it to death :)
 
oh and thanks  to kim for the 3 mic adviceI think ill force it down the 
drummers throat  muahahaha!

Why would it involve multiple independent timelines?

I don't know Ardour very well, but I've done this sort of thing all the 
time in Rosegarden.  (When you suck as a player as much as I do, it's really 
convenient to be able to loop the one iteration of something where you didn't 
make any really horrible mistakes.)

Record a four-bar riff on a guitar, shrink the segment so it starts and ends 
exactly at a barline (if necessary,) toggle the Repeat checkbox in Segment 
Parameters, and then you can move 73.25 measure ahead, hit play, and you'll 
hear the right audio.  You can record over this all day long.

Surely Ardour could do exactly the same thing (and maybe it already does, and 
I'm too stupid to figure out how to work it.)

I don't see how the original poster is asking for magic here.

What you are explaining would involve multiple independent time lines. This
is a feature I have not seen on any audio editor on any platform. The way
this is normally done is to duplicate the loop along one track for however
long you want it to loop and then record linearly.

I don't know if it's possible, but I can't figure out how to do it either.

This job is really easy in Rosegarden.  Any segment of any type can be set to 
repeat until it bumps into something else.

I want to state for the record that I'm not trying to suggest Rosegarden as an 
all-around alternative to Ardour.  It really depends on what you need to do.  
This particular job is easier, if it's even possible to do in Ardour at all, 
but they have a lot of high end functionality we don't even imagine trying to 
duplicate.

ardour - recording while playing a loop

2007-11-25 Thread verymeta
Hi all. Does anyone know if it's possible in Ardour to play a loop in 
one track, while recording another track? Obviously, I would want the 
recording track to move forward linearly - at the moment, I can get 
Ardour to loop all the tracks or none of them, but I can't get it to 
loop one track but not another.

You won't because of the type of card.  I was hoping the "AC97 Capture" stuff

Thanks for the info. I am still having problems I think. I do not have
near as many options with the mixer for my card. I am guessing that is

It's called QAMix.  That's my recommendation too, and I'm really happy to see

Thanks will let you know. How well does Linux work with say usb sound
cards made for recording. Pretty sure that will be the next step even
if i get the mic input to working. Will let you know tonight.

Re: Ardour recording

2007-11-21 Thread Christopher Stamper
Yes, thats about all. (I think) I recommend using qMix rather than the built
in volume control (It should be installed by default). Somebody correct me
if it isn't called qMix...

Didn't realize that it was a laptop... :-( Could change things slightly...
(Built-in mic, bad soundcard...)

Hope it works, let us know!

2007-11-21 Thread Wesley Stout
I will give that a try when i get home thanks again for all the info.
I have been researching this today while "working" :) should have just
brought the blasted laptop with me. I'm pretty sure the connection
should be good. I switched over to Vista and used Audacity to record a
little guitar track and it worked very well. I am guessing just need
to play with the input source until something works?

Re: Ardour recording

2007-11-21 Thread Christopher Stamper
Could be. You just need to select the input source (mic, line in, etc).

Maybe your mic is not connected properly? Possibly the wrong port?

Re: Ardour recording

2007-11-21 Thread Wesley Stout
Yes I can play audio. I have read some stuff online with people having
difficulty recording with laptop cards, but I have a feeling you are
correct because the rest of the audio worked too easily. I have tried
Audacity, it will not record either. Could that be due to the mixer
settings? Thanks for the reply!

Re: Ardour recording

2007-11-21 Thread Christopher Stamper
I may be wrong, but I strongly suspect incorrect mixer settings. This has
nothing to do with Ardour OR Jackd. Try audacity...

If it works, you just need to set the recording source with a mixer, qmix or
the built in volume app

BTW, can you play audio? If so, it's probably not a hardware problem

relating to linux problem... but it is obvious i don't have a clue :)

Fwd: Ardour recording

I appreciate all the response to my problem. I believe like someone
has told me that my problem is not with Ardour. I'm not even for sure
if it is with Jack. I tried the soundrecorder application and it could
not record either. I am not for sure if that app requires Jack or not?
I did get Ardour to record but now I get no input and I think it could
be more of a driver/hardware problem? Just wondering if anyone had any
thoughts?  Thanks for all the help.

Re: Ardour recording

2007-11-20 Thread Christopher Stamper
Sounds like Jack.

First, make sure you set the record source properly in something like QMix.
(Ithink its called that).

Then make sure Jack's configured properly.

Most likely, you need to select proper input w/ qMix or some mixer app. That
should fix it.

Re: Ardour recording

2007-11-20 Thread Christopher Stamper
Are you getting sound into ardour? Could you hear the mic with monitpring
turned on?

Perhaps you just don't know how to start the recording?

Re: Ardour recording

2007-11-20 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'd make sure that you can get Jack routing audio with a simpler application
to rule out any Ardour configuration issues. Try routing your mic input to
Creox or JackRack and back out to make sure that the basic stuff is
functioning properly..

Ardour recording

2007-11-20 Thread Wesley Stout
Hi, I am new to Ubuntu-Studio. I used Ardour with mandriva on my
desktop. I have a Gateway laptop, with Ubuntu-Studio 7.10. When I
start Jack it appears to be working, but nothing happens with
something plugged into the mic input. When I press Record with ardour
and have the track set to record, the button just flashes with no
action. I am guessing I am having some trouble with Jack? Any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks

Wesley
