Hallo, Stanley Jaddoe hat gesagt: // Stanley Jaddoe wrote: > IMHO, a harddisk recorder and mixing desk are two seperate > functions. I really hope Mr. Davis agrees and will split the mixing > part from the harddisk recording part. The mixer is an important part in the whole concept of Ardour. Every track corresponds somehow to controls in the mixer. Tracks carry automation information, which you input e.g. through using the mixer. Later you can edit this info inside the track. I see no real advantage in splitting out the mixer as its an integral part of Ardour. If you want a Jack mixer alone, then nothing is stopping anyone to split out the mixer and make it standalone, but still Ardour needs its own integrated mixer. It's an imporant part of the design of Ardour. There are other applications that do what you suggest: Jackmix as mixer, ecasound as a pure harddisk recorder. Those apps follow a different more modularized approach which has advantages but also disadvantages. Advantages would include that ecasound is wonderful for automating pure recording tasks. But Ecasound is really not suited when it comes to editing existing recordings. Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
