NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       ardour -b [-U file] [session]
10       ardour --help
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Ardour  is  a  multichannel  hard disk recorder (HDR) and digital audio
14       workstation (DAW).  It is capable of simultaneous recording 24 or  more
15       channels of 32 bit audio at 48kHz.  Ardour is intended to function as a
16       "professional" HDR system, replacing dedicated hardware solutions  such
17       as  the  Mackie  HDR, the Tascam 2424 and more traditional tape systems
18       like the Alesis ADAT series.  It is also intended to provide  the  same
19       or  better  functionality as software systems such as ProTools, Sampli‐
20       tude, Logic Audio, Nuendo and Cubase VST (we acknowledge these and  all
21       other  names  as  trademarks  of their respective owners).  It supports
22       MIDI Machine Control, and so can be controlled from any MMC controller,
23       such  as  the  Mackie Digital 8 Bus mixer and many other modern digital
24       mixers.

OPTIONS

27       -b     Print all possible keyboard binding names.
28
29       -U     Specify the path to the GTK RC file to use.  The provided one is
30              called  ardour_ui.rc  and  lives  in the top level Ardour source
31              directory.  This file controls all color  and  font  use  within
32              Ardour.  Ardour will run without it, but its appearance is, uhm,
33              ugly.
34
35       --help Displays the help message.
