\f0\fs24 \cf0 This is the Mac OS X version of Ardour (http://ardour.org)\
|
|
\
|
|
You don't need a lot of stuff to get Ardour running on OS X. You will need:\
|
|
\
|
|
* At least OS X 10.4\
|
|
\
|
|
* Apple's X11 which is found on your OS X install CD (or a large download)\
|
|
\
|
|
* JACK (either JackOSX - http://jackosx.com or "regular" JACK.) In\
|
|
general, we recommend JackOSX for new users, specifically version\
|
|
0.72 or above. It should run on OS X versions 10.3.x and above,\
|
|
including Tiger. Version 0.73 or above must be used for Mac Intel\
|
|
universal binary support.\
|
|
\
|
|
See http://ardour.org/requirements_osx for more information.\
|
|
\
|
|
The universal binary of Ardour should run on OSX versions >= 10.4. A version\
|
|
that also runs on Panther should also be available.\
|
|
Please report any problems to osx-support@ardour.org or on the #ardour \
|
|
IRC channel at irc.freenode.net. And include any output from the \
|
|
console.log as shown in the Applications->Utilities->Console application \
|
|
in the report.\
|
|
\
|
|
IMPORTANT: before starting Ardour, you should configure and start the\
|
|
JACK server. You can either use JackPilot, which comes with the\
|
|
JackOSX package, or you can use the more advanced QJackCtl. A disk\
|
|
image for QJackCtl is available at http://ardour.org/requirements_osx,\
|
|
please read the included README carefully for initial setup\
|
|
instructions.\
|
|
\
|
|
Because ardour does not come with any effect plugins, we are providing\
|
|
installable packages for some of the top LADSPA plugins sets. Please\
|
|
download and install them from http://ardour.org/requirements_osx\
|
|
page.\
|
|
\
|
|
Also see the online documentation at http://ardour.org/manual/ for\
|
|
basic usage of the software.\

FAQ\
|
|
------------------------\
|
|
\
|
|
Q: When I click on the Ardour icon, the program will not start\
|
|
\
|
|
First, check a few basic issues:\
|
|
1. Are you running at least OS X 10.4 ?\
|
|
2. Did you install Apple's X11 application?\
|
|
3. Did you install a suitable version of JACK ?\
|
|
4. Did you start JACK running before trying to run Ardour?\
|
|
(Typically this is done using a JACK control app like JackPilot or qjackctl.)\
|
|
\
|
|
If the answer is yes to all of the above\
|
|
1. Launch "Console", which can be found in the "Applications->Utilities" folder\
|
|
2. Look at the console.log in the Console app.\
|
|
Press the "clear" button to remove any previous messages.\
|
|
3. Try to launch Ardour again\
|
|
4. Cut and paste the entire contents of the Console window\
|
|
(including any data stored in the scrollback) into a new posting\
|
|
in the ardour OS X forum at http://ardour.org/forums .\
|
|
Include details of your OS version and processor type. \
