Re: Loop Composition

Ahh, I see! You can combine regions for that. Select all the regions for for example 8 bars, and then do right click->edit->combine or something like that, and it gives you a full combined region for 8 bars. Really handy when cutting up, doing stutter effects (which I do alot) etc.

Are you talking ardour2 or ardour3? Because I do atleast very similar stuff in my production, and I'm pretty satisfied with ardour3 for that. It's not optimal, but it certainly works for me =)


I'm using Ardour 3.

I might be using it wrong then - I have a lot of difficulties handling the "clips"
If i record 10 min of guitar around and cut it in several smaller clips, the editor list still store the full recording, not the clips...

Do you have any advice here?

Hello all,

My composition workflow is based on loops - starting by creating rythms in Hydrogen and recording a few drum loops in Ardour, creating a bass line with amSynth or ZynAddSubFX and recording a few bass loops in Ardour, recording some guitars in Ardour and creating some samples from that...

The difficulty I'm having in Linux is to create composition from those loops.
In Ardour is is time consuming to reorganise the loops to test new order/composition (because Ardour is not meant for that).

My idea of a workflow would be to have a tool to try out the different loops in different order and "jam" with them to see what works and what doesn't.

Then once that would be done - I would re-record everything properly in Ardour (drums with multiple tracks, breaks, etc... a more natural way of playing, guitar played and not looped, etc)

I have done some research and found "only" 6 tools:
- LMMS - it is mentionned several times that it is designed around loop composition, but I'm not sure about being able to jam with them. (but at least being able to compose and move the loops around would be handy)
- Luppp, SooperLooper and FreeWheeling - they more look like software version of JamMan to me and meant to be played "live"...
- Giada - that's the last one I found, but the website describes a tool more for DJing and looping complete songs instead of actual instrument loops...
- Bitwig - I guess Bitwig will be THE killer tool to work with loops from what I could tell from the website.....but we are still talking a few months before general availability...

I admit, I didn't really try these tools - I was hoping if anybody in the community had a similar workflow and could advise in anyway :)

Thanks in advance

Aurélien
