<h2 id="managing-custom-clips-folder">Managing the custom clips folder</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
As of version 7.0, Ardour does not provide a way to reorganize clips in the
|
|
main custom folder. For the time being, it is suggested to use a file manager
|
|
to manage the folder.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
As all the clips you already added to the project have been copied, you do
|
|
not need to close Ardour to reorganize clips in the custom clips folder. Feel
|
|
free to create new subfolders and move files around. All the changes will be
|
|
reflected in the clips browser after you switch to another folder and back.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You do not need a fast drive for custom clips folders. Playing back a
|
|
short clip will have little impact on the performance, and copying a file into
|
|
the project should be likewise fast even from a hard disk. You can even use
|
|
a network drive to store and access all your clips and loops.

<h2 id="adding-custom-clips">Adding custom clips</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are three major ways to add new clips to your custom <dfn>Clips</dfn>
|
|
folder.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>
|
|
In the Editor window, drag a region from the list of regions to the
|
|
Clips tab. Ardour will automatically switch to the Clips tab, display
|
|
the main custom clips library, and let you drop the region there.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
In the Editor window, use the right-click menu to bounce a region
|
|
or a range to the Clips library. You can bounce either processed
|
|
(with all effects) or unprocessed (sans all effects) version of the
|
|
audio data. The option to bounce to the clips library will be available
|
|
in the bounce dialog. Additionally, if the track in question is visible
|
|
in the Cue window, you can automatically insert a bounced clip into the
|
|
slot of a particular scene for that track.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
You can use the file manager to navigate to the location of the custom
|
|
clips library and place audio and/or MIDI files there.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>Changes will take effect in Ardour once you switch to another folder and back.</p>

<h2 id="removing-custom-clips">Removing custom clips</h2>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Use a file manager to navigate to your main custom clips folder.</li>
|
|
<li>Locate the file you do not need any more, remove it to the trash bin.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Likewise, changes will take effect in Ardour once you switch to another
|
|
folder and back.
