who want to record edit mix and master audio and midi projects when you need complete control over your tools when the limitations of other designs get in the way when you plan to spend hours or days working on a session ardour is there to make things work the way you want them to musicians being the best tool to record talented performers on actual instruments has always been a top priority for ardour rather than being focused on electronic and pop music idioms ardour steps out of the way to encourage the creative process to remain where it always has been a musician playing a carefully designed and well built instrument whether a physical or a software one soundtrack editors sample accurate sync and shared transport control with video playback tools allows ardour to provide a fast and natural environment for creating and editing soundtracks for film and video projects composers arrange audio and midi using the same tools and same workflow use external hardware synthesizers or software instruments as sound sources from sound design to electro acoustic composition to dense multitrack midi editing ardour can help podcasters radio producers ardour s source list makes it easy to organize and navigate even large amounts of clips and tape multiple ripple modes make editing both simple two mic episodes and tape heavy features a breeze the integrated freesound org search

to your hardware and or other applications use sends inserts and returns freely connections can be one to many many to one or many to many tap signal flows at any point if you can t connect in the way you want with ardour it probably can t be done video timeline import a single video and optionally extract the soundtrack from it display a frame by frame thumbnail timeline of the video use a video monitor window or full screen display of the imported video in sync with any of the available ardour timecode sources lock audio regions to the video move audio regions with the video at video frame granularity export the video cut start end add blank frames and or mux it with the soundtrack of the current session ardour is open ardour is an open source collaborative effort of a worldwide team including musicians programmers and professional recording engineers development is transparent anyone can watch our work as it happens like a good piece of vintage hardware you can open the box and look inside of course you don t have to but one day the fact that anybody can will be useful this openness forces a kind of integrity on the project that is hard to find in proprietary software and helps us to focus on issues and features that matter to our users rather than stuff that just looks good in advertisements learn user manual getting started video tutorials support bug tracker
