.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
Ardour is a multichannel hard disk recorder (HDR) and digital audio
|
|
|
|
|
workstation (DAW).
|
|
|
|
|
It is capable of simultaneous recording 24 or more channels of 32 bit audio at
|
|
|
|
|
48kHz.
|
|
|
|
|
Ardour is intended to function as a "professional" HDR system, replacing
|
|
|
|
|
dedicated hardware solutions such as the Mackie HDR, the Tascam 2424 and more
|
|
|
|
|
traditional tape systems like the Alesis ADAT series.
|
|
|
|
|
It is also intended to provide the same or better functionality as software
|
|
|
|
|
systems such as ProTools, Samplitude, Logic Audio, Nuendo and Cubase VST (we
|
|
|
|
|
acknowledge these and all other names as trademarks of their respective
|
|
|
|
|
owners).
|
|
|
|
|
It supports MIDI Machine Control, and so can be controlled from any MMC
|
|
|
|
|
controller, such as the Mackie Digital 8 Bus mixer and many other modern
|
|
|
|
|
digital mixers.
