Ardour was presented in Poland, at the Music Media trade fair

Community Made With Ardour
#1

Yesterday I conducted a presentation on Linux audio software at the Music Media – Music and Lightning Equipment Trade Fair, in Krakow, Poland. I demonstrated the Ardour, accompanied by Rosegarden sequencer. The main topics of the presentation were: JACK sound server, recording techniques (Rosegarden and Ardour were demonstrated), and the usage of soft-synths / DSSI plugins. I booted a laptop using Musix live CD, and then demonstrated Rosegarden sequencer, ZynAddSubFX synthesizer and Ardour. The presentation was well attended (about 40 people).

A script used during the presentation is available (in Polish only):

Great! This seems like a very good place to present Ardour.
Which exact version did you show?

How was the particular feedback to Ardour?

I presented Ardour 0.99.3. I had scarcely time, so I only showed how to record sound from Rosegarden and ZynAddSubFX, how to use the Track/Bus Inspector, and synchronization with JACK.

Feedback: For the first time during my presentation on Ardour nobody asked a question on stability issues, and problems with installation :slight_smile: One person were interested in system requirements, and other asked how to use MIDI automation on the mixer knobs and LADSPA plugins.
