Hi!
Searching around, I haven’t found any ways to edit the clips i’ve imported within Ardour. The functions I’m looking for are reverse, stereo2mono, resample and the likes…
If this doesn’t exist, what do people use when in Linux?
right-click on the region of your clip, mouse over the region name, select Reverse among menu items.
right-click on the region of your clip, mouse over the region name, select “make mono regions”. It will not split the track but make two mono regions that are accessible from the region list on the right hand side frame of the editor window. You can then declare some mono tracks and drag&drop each mono region to them.
ardour does not allow resampling. You will need the samplerate-programs package (debian, ubuntu). Once installed, you can use the app called sndfile-resample (very easy to use). Apply to your wav file, then reimport in ardour.
Ardour has been deliberately designed without all the normal editing tools visible on some toolbar (like other editors are). You can argue about it, personally, I like it so.
I use audacity for this sort of thing(http://audacity.sourceforge.net/). There’s also sox (http://sox.sourceforge.net/, command line driven and a bit harder to use).
Thanks thorgal - I couldn’t find this in the manual and thought the upper part that says ‘audio…’ on the right-click menu was just a description of the file.
