Note that you do not want to nest sessions/projects inside each other, i.e. I keep them in Home => Music => Ardour Projects. It’s a good idea to keep all your sessions in one folder so you know where to find them. Name it anything that makes sense for your project. In Ardour, the Project Name is called “Session Name”. If you are using a synthesizer like phasex or yoshimi with your midi device, you can launch it now. In that case, type in: a2j_control startĪnd all should be well. If you get a server socket error, the a2jmidi daemon may already be started. Setting Up Midi in JackĪfter starting Jack, you will need to start a2jmidi to connect your midi device to Ardour. In this case, go back into “Setup” and choose another interface. If Jack is unable to start, it is usually because you have selected the wrong Interface. Next, press “Ok” to save your changes to Jack and press “Start” to start the Jack daemon. Here we also will want to set the “Midi Driver” dropdown menu to “none”.

While you have the “Setup” window open, set your buffer size with the “Frames/Period” dialog and “Sample Rate” to your desired values (a smaller value like 128 for buffer size will help reduce latency if you will be recording non-midi instruments and a sample rate of 48000Hz is the standard for professional audio and video work). You should select your audio interface if you have one, if not you can select your computer’s sound card (usually hw0 or hw1). A dialog will popup listing the available interfaces. In the window that pops up, find the “Interface” section and click the “>” to the right of it. After launching QjackCtrl, go to “Setup”. I use QjackCtrl as a GUI interface for Jack. So our project checklist will look more like this: When recording with a DAW like Ardour in Linux, we have to do some extra work setting up audio with Jack before we can even launch, let alone configure, our DAW. In the Intro to Music Production course, instructor Loudon Stearns gave us a checklist for setting up our preproduction environment. Preparing Jack and Ardour 3 in Ubuntu for Recording Midi
#Music recording ardour how to#
In this post, I’ll be explaining how to prepare Jack and Ardour 3 for recording midi in Ubuntu Linux (I’m running UbuntuStudio). I grew up in the United States, have been in South Korea the past 9 years and am now living in France for the time being. This is an assignment for the Coursera course Introduction to Music Production Introduction
