Sorry, I didn't know that Rosegarden did real audio and not just MIDI. I see that it does after looking... :-( And I feel a bit stupid for saying that... But really, you're not supposed to actually use that, are you??? It's almost a joke, IMO. I guess I should be more careful what I say... :-

Hello, first post here, but a long-time audio engineer. A friend of mine just got me started with Ardour. Honestly, I haven't found anything not to like about it yet (except for a couple non-standard edit aspects). It is very powerful and as far as I can tell, it is as complete as I could expect i

Nice! Thank you all for your input. It's evident to me that I just need to spend some time learning to use Ardour. It sounds like a great tool for multi-track recording. Thanks! - Darrin On Jan 4, 2008 7:28 AM, Christopher Stamper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ardour is definitely the best. R

Ardour is definitely the best. Rosegarden is for notation and MIDI, NOT audio. So it won't help at all. (unless you wanted to record MIDI and not audio). Audacity is more for the beginners, who don't really care about multiple tracks, quality or control. It may have a couple nice features, but ove

I would definitely recommend ardour if you want to record multi track and have any level of control. Audacity is great for single track recording and chopping the results up, filtering etc and then exporting, but when it comes to recording multiple parts, lining them up, mixing down, automating

I use timemachine live recording, any number of channels from 2 to 8. It has only one control -- record on/off. This makes it fool proof, which is important to me when I'm recording a live show. I found snd too complicated, and Ardour waaay too complicated for live recording. Perhaps I'm an idio
