7.2. Recording a Session
Recording a session usually happens all at once, but sometimes recording can happen over several days or even weeks. Mixing and mastering happen after a session has been recorded. Remember that JACK
must have the same sample rate and sample format settings each time you open a session.
Ardour uses the JACK
sound server. Use QjackCtl to start JACK
before Ardour, or Ardour starts JACK
for you.
Ardour asks you to choose a location to save your new session. Ardour automatically creates a directory to store the session's files. You can also open an existing session.
