5:02 I love how he just did the coolest jazz solo with his mouth and just said "ok, now we have some basic audio"

I have been using Ardour for years. I don't think people realize the capabilities they have with Ardour. The fact that it's free and has all of these features is beyond great.

This has been incredibly useful, without any unnecessary bloat or annoying Ums & Ahs which so often blight these types of introductory/showcase explanatory videos. Very well done.

This is seriously mindblowing. I've been using Audacity for years, but didn't realise until now how good Ardour was and how easy it is to use. I've ordered a cheapish USB cardioid mic and am excited to try multitrack recording now. Thanks so much for this tutorial!

OMG, I think I'm in love with this DAW! It looks so really easier and intuitive for me after using FL Studio for 15 years till now. And no more need to run Windows as well. I think Ardour is a real pain relief I've been thinking of. That's what caught me up on the site. I'm truthfully inspired and will move onto it! I believe musicians are gonna feel what I mean. Thank you for the video, bro!

Unfa your content is always top tier. Ardour 6 is amazing.

This is exactly the sort of "quick start" I was looking for to use Ardour for doing basic podcast editing, and was incredibly helpful. Thanks so much for doing this!

Not a musician, but this was exactly what I needed for sound-mixing for videos. Thanks!

I've been studying this video in detail for weeks, reproducing all the stuff Unfa does. Just a very helpful leg-up into the world of Ardour. Great stuff!!

Hey, old school here (analog tape) Thanks so much , a good place to start. More than enough! Good job.

Recently switched to Linux and started using Ardour. This is an awesome tutorial! Thank you. I've subscribed.

Thanks Unfa, always interesting your videos and your clear and precise explanations. Greetings from Italy.

Awesome tutorial, just what I needed! I wish I had watched this before!! Thank you so much!

You're the type of channel I subscribe by watching just one video. I already know everything else will be good.

Thank you so much for this informative video/tutorial. I never would have believed that Ardour is such a powerful - and free - software.

I owe you a huge thanks, unfa. This tutorial put me on the right path to record a backing track from youtube, and mix it with an audio track recorded with my bass guitar. Meanwhile I managed to sync hydrogen drum machine with Ardour. In the end I mixed in Kdenlive the audio exported from Ardour with a videoclip recorded with an action cam. Without your help I was still pushing random buttons in ardour ui 😁

I just installed the program and this was first video I found in KZfaq. Dude you made really, really good tutorial video. Everything is so simple way explaned and I love the guide to quick buttons, cause I tend to use them all the time with windows and other programs. Awesome job 10/10!

Thanks, just decided to try Ardour (as it comes installed on distro) and had no idea where to start. This should get me going. Nice work, sir!

Watched. I'm ready for Ardour 6. Thanks unfa!

I watched the whole thing, it never got boring, I liked, and I subscribed.

Its amazing to see the FOSS ecosystem pickup with DAWs. Ardour is amazing. Please make more detailed tutorials for mixing & mastering with Ardour.

Thanks a lot! I just installed ardour and was fooling around with it yesterday. Did get some result but not quite what I hoped. This video is a shortcut for better recordings for me. So I don't have to spend several nights for some basics. I'm gonna check the others later.

Came across this channel after moving to Linux recently. I must say this is a life saver for people like me.

Thanks for this intro. I found your channel thanks to a post on reddit and I have to confirm that you explained Ardour in a very good way. Thanks again and I hope you'll fix your current issues 🙏

Thank you for making this video

Brilliant work - very cool.

Just discovered Ardour…. Superb! Been using Adobe audition for years… thank you for these, I’ve learnt a huge amount….

Very great video - it helped me a lot. Thank you!

I just got a laptop with Lenux and I’m stoked to see everything it’s capable of! Thank you for helping me get up to speed with ardour! I especially Love that it’s open source I’ve been using Mac for a long time (GarageBand and logic) and most recently I’ve been producing on garage band and FL Studio Mobile on my phone and enjoying the portability tho it comes with some limitations when it comes to mixing and mastering. it was the perfect thing for getting comfortable producing, super intuitive (highly recommended for beginners) Within the last year I’ve been wanting to find a new program that ticks all the boxes because I compose, produce, sing, rap, mix, master and more and this seems to be the best option that incorporates it all into one (relatively) straight forward daw It’s got all the bells and whistles of the industry standards with the joy of knowing it’s open source! I’m lookin forward to learning more! I’ll definitely be watching lots more of your videos and tutorials!! Thank you 🙏 Aloha

thanks for the great quickguide, it's really useful!

Big thanks for this helpful quickstart tour!

Thanks man! I will explore your channel to the max. Very cool!

Thank you so much for this video!

The best Ardour introduction tutorial, I always come back here.

Yeah Dude, just the jumpstart I needed. Awesome!

My hero. Thank you!

Great video, unfa. Easy to grasp, entertaining and very helpful.

Nice one dude, this is really helping me along

Your videos are really helping me get started in music production. I am trying to learn piano all at the same time, so probably a little much, but I want to be able to record what I'm learning and make stuff at the same time, so oh well I followed your setup guide for Manjaro and was like ”okay, I managed to record some awful audio through my webcam mic, but my computer won't actually play that sound.” and now I think I know why from this video, I never told ardour to output through my system audio.

YOU SAVE MY LIFE! Thanks for this awesome video!

Extremely useful! Thank you so much for this video.

Your content is absolutely great!

The best beginner tutorial for Ardour!!! Really appreciate this Unfa!!! 🇵🇭

This was really one of the best vids on Ardour starting out that I have seen. This is great. I am trying to use Ardour for voice processing and effects outputing to OBS. So this gave me some cool insights!

Very well done. Thank you 👍

This video DEFINITELY deserves a "like". Thanks, Unfa! great job !!! :)

I can't thank you enough! Until now i recorded all my drum covers with Audacity! I'm only 13 years but thanks to your Ardour videos including midi masterclass, I was able to get it work in Ardour and using a real DAW! And I already tried to start composing using your tutorials for midi with guitarix plugin an so on!!! Amazing! You're a real genius! 👌🤘👍So within the next weeks there will come drum covers recorded with Ardour 👍👌💪after I upload the already recorded ones 😉

very useful! Thanks much...I'm off to follow your suggestion and create my first Ardour project...

Thank you very much. It was very helpful.

Well done mate! Thank you! this is so helpful! I've subscribed.

This should go on the Ardour KZfaq channel as well!

you are the main reason why I'm trying this DAW out. wonderful video!

This tutorial was really helpful and elegant. Thank you.

I'm a new Ardour subscriber and found this very helpful. Thanks.

Wonderful Thanks so much for getting me started.

Thank you! Very helpful!

Great video man, it's helping me a lot in my transition from lmms to ardour.

That was very useful. I shall have a look at some of your advanced stuff too. I want to know more about managing tempos with complex time signatures and also could use some guidance on using LADSPA / LV2 plugins - Compressors & Side chaining, EQ, Amp simulators & Distortion, Reverb, Delay and Pitch shifting each deserve a separate video.

Excellent tutorial, thanks.

Very Useful! Thanks

thanks good info got it up everything works great recorded a guitar track today i have pipewire jack alsa a interface and had issues yesterday had the inputs and outputs wrong on master and audio SO MANY jack connections I JUST HAD ONE TWO MANY CHECKED OFF going OUT on AUDIO found it wrote the right set ups down

Nice content bro! Your channel is amazing and very helpful for my productions, thank you very much. Long live open source!

Great tutorial. Thanks brother.

I can tell I'm going to be back here. I had no idea such a FOSS DAW existed and I'm happy to know I'll have the benefit of your knowledge so thanks a lot for the video my dude 😁

big thank you

to be really honest, I´ve invested a lot of time now to do the same like you on raspi 4 without any commercial software. Why? Because just time is boring, anyhow. Trying to just make a song. As maybe most people, I have a strong Background with building all my past releases or projects via ableton live and reason on a mac osx system. So back in the Linux world I am really still shocked how slow the whole community evolves and after all these years there is still now really cool and fine way to focus to creativity. Sorry for my hard words. Thank you for these great ardour tutorials. You may see the gaps for yourself. From my side. I lose the half day by configuring anything, trying to give live to a frankenstein. To make a final result. All these pieces for example with jack seem to be nice at first from the outside, but nothing is really fitting good together and all is imploding after system restart. You cannot easily recreate a project. There are tools, which try to achieve making a snapshot of your current work state, but lacking to load the main information in relevant tools when trying to reanimate. Lets say, I need a couple of clicks in Ableton to estabilsh a whole drum loop, this is still a mess on all linux applications, ending up in programming on the cli, wasting up a whole weekend with minimal results. So at the end of the day time is expensive and frustration is frustrating. Spending money for tools, which make it an ease to use is better and saves you from pulling out your hair.

This was very helpful, thank you!

Great job, man. Thanks!

This is great, just trying to record a single track was pretty daunting when having zero experience from a DAW (except Audacious). Thank you for the video! I will check through much more of your content!

Nicely done. Thank you very much. Some of your keystroke and mouse presses went by a little too quickly for me to absorb, so I had to re-watch. A small deficiency. This was a very good quick-start instruction. Again, thanks very much.

U r just so good in explaining, fabulous, thnx a lot, god bless u with more n more abilities

Awesome video, thanks man :)

Oh wow, this is exceptional well done 👏 As a kdenlive user I feel right at home with this 👍

Thanks for the great tutorials !!!!

Thank you unfa!

Thanks man, really great content

Thanks for the video, you explained everything really well :)

Great tutorial many thanks. [edit: solutions] : Okay for those who want to import unfa's session and get the error I mention below here is a solution to get the plugins at least on my distro which is PopOS but I guess it works on any Ubuntu-based distro: 1 - Make sure you do NOT install Ardour from Pop!_Shop or any other flatpak manager.. The plugin cannot be resolved by Ardour If you do this at least not without some tweaking with the sandboxing policy.. 2 - To get the fast_lookahead_limiter plugin, simply install the "swh_plugins" package and you´ll get a ton of plugins including the one necessary for importing Unfa's session. That's it... Works well on PopOs 20.10 and Ardour 6.5 .... Error: However, I get the following error in the log when I try to import the session in Ardour6: [ERROR]: Found a reference to a plugin ("gareus.org/oss/lv2/gmsynth") that is unknown. Did anyone encountered the same issue ? I've defined my LV2_PATH= $HOME/.lv2 even tried the system wide approach and placed the plugin in /usr/lib/lv2. Still not working. For those who have the same error I reported an issue on github here: github.com/x42/gmsynth.lv2/issues/4#issue-802995529 if by any change the error is related.. :/ Do you have an idea what's wrong @unfa ? I'm obviously missing something...

Very good thanks !

Thanks bro!

Man what a sax beatbox : ).U are very talanted

thank you.

this is the best!

Sweet tuto ! Clear and productive, thank you. I’m starting covers, and was looking for how to record MIDI with my e-drumkit, i’ve got a MIDI/USB cable and Ardour installed, one sweet sounding VST pack downloaded ^^ any tips ?

It's an outstanding presentation. 00:11:28 I do suppose that gain automation is exactly that. I applied it as prescribed. There was some perceptible reduction in volume. But it didn't seem substantial. I could hear my vocal track. It wasn't overpowered by the music track. The thing is that just like your imported track it was a dual channel. But the automatic gain reduction tool appeared on both channels of the music track. I'm trying to figure that out. In the meantime, thank you for getting me started on using my first DAW - Will

Ardour jsem vůbec neznal a vypadá to parádně, možná to bude mnohem lepší než LMMS. Takže díky za tutoriál!

hey man thank you so much this helps so much. thanks!

Awesome Thank you! I feel now ready to make remixes :-D

Wow man , thanks

GREAT INFO! THANKS FOR UL!

amazing work, man! such a good job you did with your tutorials; I'm thinking about switching from OS to Linux so Ardour would be my DAW of choice!

NICE JOB UNFA

Très bien !

4:55 that hands sax tho!!! xDDD David Lynch would be proud.

Lovely clear tutorial, Unfa! Loved the American announcer parody and the trumpet :D. After some research, I've decided to switch from Audacity to Ardour, mainly because I want to do some midi stuff. I'm hoping it'll run on Linux Mint and Windows 7. ...Liked & subscribed...

Nicely done, sir. I have been a SONAR power user for 20 years. My friend has turned me on to LINUX, and I'm not looking back.

I didn't know I needed the non destructive crossfade so badly. I struggled quite a bit in audacity.

gracias pibe!!!

unfa's videos always want me to start producing and recording now

Thx Dude !
