I also use two pairs of studio monitors (one good pair, the the other focused on mid-range). Together, this allows to record 16 mic/line inputs in parallel.įor monitoring I use the two headphone outputs of the Saffire Pro 40 to connect a pair of in-ears (for recording) and decent studio headphones. The Saffire Pro 40 connects to the FireWire card, the OctoPre connects to the Saffire Pro 40 via ADAT. ![]() I use a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 in combination with a Focusrite OctoPre MkII for routing microphones, amps and the synth to the computer for recording. The overall setupįor instruments I have a drumkit, two guitars, a pedalboard with a few effects including a stereo delay, two guitar amps (one for each delay channel), a bass and bass amp and a synth.įor recording I use a regular desktop PC running Fedora 17 (yes, I am aware this is rather old), equipped with a FireWire card and a Bluetooth dongle, the former to connect an audio interface, the latter to connect a Wiimote for controlling Ardour remotely during recordings (coincidentally, I wrote the Wiimote plugin shipped with Ardour 3). I will illustrate my setup and processes based on songs created with my solo band MÆNAD, covering the recording setup, miking, audio interfaces, Linux configuration, tracking different instruments with Ardour, various mixing tricks using pass filters, equalizers, compressors and more, as well as exporting to WAV and FLAC/MP3. ![]() This article is written for all those interested in setting up a Linux home studio and using Ardour to record and mix their music, with the help of numerous free and open source tools and plugins.
