Drag to define a fade-in or fade-out zone. Mouse over the very beginning or ending of a track, then click and hold the handle in the upper corner - a curved icon should appear. The plugin will appear under the Other tab (see below).Ī MIDI track can be imported like a wav file, and the same technique used to play it or record audio. In the Mixer window, set the input of a new track to the output of the plugin being played by the MIDI track, and arm this new track for recording. Now you can open any virtual synth, and assign the MIDI out from the new track in Ardour to it's MIDI in, under JACK/MIDI (click ardour to display the dropdown as in the screenshot below).Ĭonnecting Ardour's MIDI out (left) to a virtual synthesizer (right). In JACK, connect your controller's MIDI out to MIDI Through and you're ready to record the MIDI track.
#Ardour sound recorder generator
The default label identifies the track as a MIDI track.īy default, this new track is connected to MIDI through and will use the native Reasonable Synth as a sound generator as seen in the Mixer window. Go to Track/Add Track or Bus, and use the popup's second dropdown menu to specify MIDI. Keeping the note values separate from the audio is useful for a couple of reasons: quantizing percussion and auditioning different patches to play a melodic part.
You can import a MIDI track or record one from scratch in Ardour.
In the main menu, go to Region/Loop to enable looping. Repeat this at the end of the last loop measure, then click in between the two split points to highlight the region. Place the pointer in the selected track at the beginning of the first measure you want to loop and strike the 'S' key to split the track. But let's review using the pointer tool to select a region. Maybe that glitch is happening over a tricky part of the song? You can set a loop with the range tool to rehearse it. This new take is best done in the same session, so all the levels are the same. You can then select and cut the offending region in the original track. If there is no break in the music, and the punch-in just isn't right, try recording just the glitch passage to a new track. One limit to this technique is where there's a sustained sound like a ride cymbal along with the glitch. Arm the track for recording, place the cursor a few measures prior to the punch-in region, and you can safely correct the glitch without affecting the rest of the track. Zoom in to make any fine adjustments to where the recording will start and stop. Two Loop/Punch Range markers will appear in the marker area. Then right-click-hold that highlighted area, and choose "Set Punch from Range" in the middle of the dropdown menu that will appear. Using the Range tool, highlight the part of the track where the glitch is. If you have a near-perfect take with one or two glitches, it's possible to set the track to record only a glitch region. Now we'll review some additional features and techniques of recording in Ardour. I hope that you have taken time out from reading this book to experiment with some of the synthesizer plugins and to make at least one short recording, not because it's necessary to move on, but for fun.
