There are a couple of resources on the Internet to help you learn Ardour and
|
|
fix some of the problems that you might have along the way.
|
|
|
|
## Ardour Manual
|
|
|
|
The official [Ardour Manual](http://manual.ardour.org/) is the main reference to Ardour. It is a work in progress, meaning you will not find every single feature explained there (yet). But it is already an amazing resource:
|
|
|
|
## Getting Help via Chat
|
|
|
|
A good way to get support when learning Ardour and working with it is using the
|
|
**Chat** function. Ardour has a built-in "Chat" option, found in the main menu
|
|
under `Help > Chat` to connect (via your web browser) to the Ardour
|
|
[IRC](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC) channel at libera.chat.
|
|
|
|
You could also use your IRC-capable chat application (like Pidgin or Xchat) to
|
|
connect to the Ardour channel (\#ardour or \#ardour-osx) at the libera.chat
|
|
network, or use this weblink directly:
|
|
|
|
[https://web.libera.chat//#ardour](https://web.libera.chat//#ardour)
|
|
|
|
Enter a nickname and connect, you are welcome!
|
|
|
|
In such a IRC Chat channel or room, you find the Ardour developers and other
|
|
users to chat about using Ardour, problems and/or bugs you are facing, or about
|
|
suggestions for Ardour which you want to discuss.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Help via Mailing Lists
|
|
|
|
For those that prefer mailing lists to IRC chatting, the [Ardour
|
|
Users](http://lists.ardour.org/listinfo.cgi/ardour-users-ardour.org%20) mailing
|
|
list is also a good place where users and some developers discuss all kinds of
|
|
problems and ideas related to using Ardour. This is an active list, with many
|
|
helpful and knowledgeable users around to help guide less experienced people.
|
|
There are sometimes more general discussions about topics like recording
|
|
technique, audio interface selection, etc.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Help via Forum
|
|
|
|
The Ardour team also maintains an active [forum](https://discourse.ardour.org/)
|
|
where you can ask for help, discuss bugs and feature requests, and post your
|
|
music composed, recorded, arranged, and mixed with Ardour.
