[Ardour-Users] Live Recording Techniques

[Josh Parmenter]

The OSX Ardour comes with CAPS and MANY other plugins, plus there are  
a number of AudioUnit plugins available to you that come with OSX.

I have done some recording and LOTS of mixing / mastering with Ardour  
on OS X, and wouldn't use anything else.

Best,

Josh

regard. He may be conservative or he may subject himself to continual  
renewal; or he may strive for a revolutionary, historical or social  
palingenesis." - Luigi Nono
