# Example script to prepare the Ardour session for recording
Usually there's a certain state needed to actually start the recording. This example
script treats the situation of a podcast recording. When starting the recording the
following settings have to be ensured.
* Session has to be recenabled
* Tracks have to be recenabled
* Gain automation have to set on write in order to record events from mute buttons
* The playhead has to be at 00:00:00.000
* The last (failed) capture has to be cleared
* Location markers have to be cleared
So this script automizes away the task and lets the podcast moderator by just one
action (for example triggerd by a Wiimote) prepare the session for recording.
It can be used for example with the python script of the Linux podcasting hacks:
https://github.com/linux-podcasting-hacks/wiimote-recording-control
Not that this script is more meant as an demo script to demonstrate the
possibilities of the Lua interface.

* Erases the last capture (assuming that it was a failed one)
* Rewinds the session to starting point.
* Recenables the session.
