There’s a new video on the Ardour channel: how to do voice-activated recording

I was excited to see this one. …Wasn’t ‘in the know’ that there was something like this in the world AND that a count in was possible. Two for one!!!

There is also Ardour Menu > Transport > Record with …

  • Count-in: metronom click up to 2 bars, then record
  • Preroll: play for 1 sec [1], then record, and at rec-stop trim region-start

The latter does not work at 00:00:00:00 but has the advantage that if you start to play a bit early, it is still recorded, and you can later edit and move region-start…


[1] preroll duration can be configured in Preferences > Transport

Thank you! Just like practically everything in this world, there are things we don’t know to look for. I had no idea I’d be so excited for something I didn’t know was already solved.

This is great. My keyboard is away from my computer and Ive previously had to run across the room after starting the count in!
