I was really hoping opening up my master ardour file on my new PC would have everything working…but no…I’ve been thru my previous posts trying to recreate whatever I did to make it work on my previous PC, but no luck.
Can anyone help?
Basically at this point I have no recording and no playback so I can’t do anything at all…
Here are some of my settings:
Ardour 6.7.0 (just installed)
More broadly, Ardour is wonderful once it’s working but for a non-techie user like me who just wants to record and edit a podcast getting it set up is a bit confusing…perhaps this isn’t feasible for technical reasons, but if there was some kind of wizard that would set up to record that would probably save people like me a lot of headscratching…
Anyway, thanks for any help, sorry to be so clueless…
OK, so you have “HDA Intel PCH” (onboard soundcard), the NVidia and the USB Mic.
Setup looks correct now.
Back to the Ardour screenshot. The vocal track as no monitoring set neither “In” or “Disk” button is highlighted.
Press “In” and you should hear the input. Ardour does that automatically when you pick “software monitoring” (the default). Perhaps you’ve selected “hardware monitoring” in the new-user dialog? Check Preferences > Monitoring > Record monitoring handled by: ardour.
Also start a new session. The routing in the current one seems to be messed up. You probably connected some track outputs back to track-inputs. Feedback indicator is lit, so Ardour remains silent.
You’re right my original session doesn’t work, but opening a new session works fine, luckily my master session isn’t particularly complex so I can easily set it up again.
