![]() ![]() It comes with its own set of pluggable effects and can also use VST and LADSPA effects. To do this it relies on a very powerful plugin system. With harvid installed, it even allows you to see the frames so you can synch the beats with the cuts.Īrdour doesn’t only allow you to visually cut, paste, move and copy tracks, but it also let’s you apply effects to your audio clips. Ardour is great for editing the soundtrack for your videos. You can also use it to create the soundtrack of your videos, although you may need to install harvid to be able to sync video cuts with music beats. As Ardour understands MIDI, you can use it as your sound studio and record your band’s tracks and mix them all together, effects and all. You can use Ardour to remix one song, or several. In any case, if you want to use a specific piece and all you have handy the MP3 track, you can quickly convert it to a WAV file withįfmpeg -i mytrack.mp3 -qscale 0 mytrack.wav ( Yes, I hear you: OGG Vorbis is also lossy format, but it is also distributed under a free license, and technically easy to implement, so there’s that). This means you’re better off using a lossless format, such as WAV or FLAC. When you are creating a new audio file, the same way you want the best possible image if you’re processing a photo in GIMP, or the best possible footage if you’re editing a film in Kdenlive, you’re going to need the best possible sound file when building a new piece of music in Ardour. That is, when you compress a track using MP3, you loose some information and the quality of the recording suffers. The MP3 format is constrained by proprietary licenses that put developers in a difficult situation if they include support for it in their programs.īut that’s not the only reason: MP3 is a lossy compressed format. You may have noticed a glaring absence from the list of supported audio formats shown above, and that’s because MP3 decoders are legally… er… complicated to implement in free software apps.
