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       -a     do not contact  ardour.org  at  program  startup  to  check  for
28              announcements
29
30       -b     Print all possible keyboard binding names.
31
32       -U     Specify the path to the GTK RC file to use.  The provided one is
33              called ardour_ui.rc and lives in the  top  level  Ardour  source
34              directory.   This  file  controls  all color and font use within
35              Ardour.  Ardour will run without it, but its appearance is, uhm,
36              ugly.
