This includes fixing em-dashes, badly spaced colons, various
misspellings, removal of spurious {% %} constructs, conversion of <br />
to <br> (still too many <br>s kicking around), and initial light cleanup
of a few sections that caught my eye.

In Ardour terminology, a <dfn>processor</dfn> is anything which treats the
|
|
signal in some way and gets plugged into a mixer strip.
|
|
Ardour provides several builtin processors such as the fader or panners.
|
|
Processors can also be <dfn>plugins</dfn> used for effects or as instruments, as well
|
|
as sends or inserts which are affect <a href="/signal-routing/">signal
|
|
routing</a>.<br>
|
|
The arrangement of processors is arbitrary, and there is no limit to how
|
|
many there can be.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The main box in the top half of a mixer strip shows the <dfn>processor
|
|
box</dfn>.
|
|
Processors are shown as coloured rectangles, with a small "LED" beside
|
|
them that lights up when the processor is enabled. The colour of the
|
|
processor depends on its location in the sequence; processors that are <dfn>pre-fader</dfn> are
|
|
coloured in red, and <dfn>post-fader</dfn> processors are coloured green
|
|
(in the default theme).</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The processor box will always contain a blue <dfn>Fader</dfn> processor.
|
|
This indicates where in the processor chain the main channel fader is
|
|
located—this is the fader shown in the lower half of the strip.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2>Adding Processors</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Processors can be added to the chain by
|
|
<kbd class="mouse">Right</kbd>-clicking in the processor list, This does three things:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>A gap is opened up to indicate the location of the click. The gap
|
|
shows where any new processors will be inserted.</li>
|
|
<li>The processor under the click is selected.</li>
|
|
<li>An options menu is presented.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
From the menu, new processors can be inserted.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>To Reorder (Move) Processors</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Processors can be re-ordered using drag-and-drop. Dragging a processor
|
|
allows it to be moved around within the chain, or copied to another
|
|
processor list on another track or bus.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>To Enable/Disable a Processor</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To the left of the name of each processor is a small LED symbol; if this
|
|
is lit-up, the processor is active. Clicking on it will deactivate the
|
|
processor and effectively bypass it.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Removing Processors</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Context-click on the processor you want to remove, and select <kbd
|
|
class="menu">Delete</kbd>, or <kbd class="mod3 mouse">Right</kbd>-click on it.
