Learn Ardour: new website page

Getting Stuff Done How do I .... ?
#1

Hi, we now have a Learn page on the website: https://ardour.org/learn.html

It lists tutorials mostly from our own YT page, but also a few ones by @whanake. The overall intention is to build a larger library of bite-sized training material on YT, but keep the page a curation of all of them, so expect further refining (and new videos).

Thank you in advance! That will be very useful.

Great initiative!

Would it be possible to unify the top navigation bar, at least across the main pages that are linked from that same bar?

ATM I see the “Learn” item only on the entry page ardour.org, Features, Nightlies, Whatsnew and FAQ, while Downloads, Community, News all have different list of items and fontsizes. I keep the discourse page open in a Firefox tab all the time and tend to read the site going from there, so I find that somewhat confusing and wouldn’t have noticed without reading this announcement post.

I understand that Downloads should link to Development etc. and Bugtracker leads to Mantis site where that banner may not be possible… but where possible, a more uniform behaviour/look would help, IMHO.

This is really a great website.

  1. Could we add a section for lua scripting?

  2. Also is it possible to add text walkthroughs in each topic to expand on some things that are not clear in the manual or outside of the manuals scope? Some topics may be using equipment, other software, system diagnostics, operating system tweaks… I bet there are tons of people in the community who could share their successes with the community and submit steps to accomplish a certain task. Maybe if users were could submit their instructions in a provided template (example provided):

Task: Setup Focusrite Equipment with ardour
Ardour Version number 6-8:
Operating System: Linux
Hardware required: Focusrite equipment: scarlett, clarett+
Description: Getting the most out of focusrite equipment in Linux with Ardour

  1. While focusrite gear does work out of the box, many features are missing in Linux but you can reenable these features. Visit GitHub - geoffreybennett/alsa-scarlett-gui: alsa-scarlett-gui is a Gtk4 GUI for the ALSA controls presented by the Linux kernel Focusrite USB Drivers

That sound like a knowledge base to me rather than a Learn page :slight_smile:

Would like to see demo of new Cue Recording

Looking for to version 9!
