![]() I'm happy to help if you have more specific questions. I've found a few but that's an area that leaves to desire. Open source cross platform plugins is another beast though. ![]() Since I make regular donations, I usually download the latest version for all OSs and give it my students while encouraging them to make a small donation if they can afford it. ![]() v6 improved on it a lot already and v7 should also be a big step up on that front.Īs for the binary, if you have one, you are allowed to share it. Hi all, Does anyone have feedback on running Arch Linux on a Sony Vaio Pro. MIDI is not the best, though totally usable, on Ardour. I find Ardour much more intuitive than Reaper, the learning curve is less steep imho. Most of the time, problems relate to the different computer/os configuration you find when you have 20 people installing it at a time and counting on you to walk them through it. It's also my main DAW nowadays (along with Mixbus, it's proprietary counterpart from Harrison Consoles). I often give workshops and teach production on Ardour. You are correct, Reaper is not free (just a indefinite trial period) nor Open Source (though it is Open Source friendly I guess, due to it's scripting capacity). If it's not a course focused on recording/processing/mixing, there are multi-platform, multi-track recorders which run in a browser, which might suffice if you don't need a fully-fledged professional-level DAW. If it really does make the university uncomfortable, isn't it possible to just add the 60$ license cost onto the price of the course? That's what most users do anyway - they use it until one day they realise they've fallen in love with it, whether that's in the first month or twelfth. I am excited about Reaper except it's not fully functional on the mac yet and their due date is Q4 2007, longer than I would like to wait. Then impress on the students throughout the course, 'As soon as you realise that you are going to keep using Reaper, whenever that is, please buy it as soon as you can to support the project and respect the terms and conditions'. 1 diskjunkie Gear Nut 15 years Anyone Using Ardour The FREE DAW Hello All, As some of you know I am looking at my options for new DAW software since my move to macintel forces me to leave my old DAW. Inform the university that there's an open-ended nag screen after the evaluation period, and that no security will be circumvented by using it for the year. Specifically, Ardour is a multichannel hard disk recorder (HDR) and digital audio. It is similar to other software like ProTools, Nuendo, Sonar and Logic, and capable of replacing analog or digital tape systems. There's also a huge amount of tutorials and support. Ardour is a powerful digital audio workstation that gives you everything you need to record, edit, mix, and arrange professional audio. And if you stick to native effects and the bundled VSTi, it will be easy to share whole projects to the students. There are lots of good free downloadable VSTi instruments available that you could bundle for the class. It has lots of good native processing plugins (and you can share the FX chains with the students). It's very lean and small, and runs very well on old computers and laptops. A lot of the students might already know Reaper if they've dabbled. Most of your students will appreciate being introduced to Reaper in the long run.
