NAME

       ardour - a digital audio workstation

SYNOPSIS

       ardour -b [-U file] [session]
       ardour --help

DESCRIPTION

       Ardour  is a multichannel hard disk recorder (HDR) and digital audio workstation (DAW).	It is capable of simultaneous recording 24 or more
       channels of 32 bit audio at 48kHz.  Ardour is intended to function as a "professional" HDR system, replacing dedicated  hardware  solutions
       such  as the Mackie HDR, the Tascam 2424 and more traditional tape systems like the Alesis ADAT series.	It is also intended to provide the
       same or better functionality as software systems such as ProTools, Samplitude, Logic Audio, Nuendo and Cubase VST (we acknowledge these and
       all  other  names  as trademarks of their respective owners).  It supports MIDI Machine Control, and so can be controlled from any MMC con-
       troller, such as the Mackie Digital 8 Bus mixer and many other modern digital mixers.

OPTIONS

       -b     Print all possible keyboard binding names.

       -U     Specify the path to the GTK RC file to use.  The provided one is called ardour_ui.rc and lives in the top level Ardour source direc-
	      tory.  This file controls all color and font use within Ardour.  Ardour will run without it, but its appearance is, uhm, ugly.

       --help Displays the help message.

FILES

       ardour.rc
	      Defaults and startup settings for Ardour.

       ardour_ui.rc
	      Definitions for the Ardour interface.

ENVIRONMENT

       ARDOUR_RC
	      Path to ardour.rc.

       ARDOUR_SYSTEM_RC
	      Path to the ardour_system.rc

       LADSPA_PATH
	      Path to LADSPA plugins.

NAME

       Aserver - start the audio server

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       The command starts the HP-UX Audio server, which can run on a system with audio hardware.  See Audio(5) for information about which systems
       have audio hardware.  The option forces the starting of the Audio server; this option is only needed if the Aserver has problems starting.

   The Audio Server
       Before using any audio tools such as the the system or X station must be running two audio server processes, called On a  Series  700,  the
       Remote Procedure Call daemon must also be running.

       Normally,  the  Aserver	processes and start automatically when the system is booted.  If problems occur on an ENTRIA or ENVIZEX X station,
       see the X station owner's manual.  On a Series 700 Audio hardware, first check if is running. Type the following:

       If it is running, you see a line similar to the following.

       If it is not running, see HP 9000/DCE documentation for information on restarting it.  If is running, verify that the Aserver  is  running.
       Type:

       If the Aserver is running you will see lines similar to the following, which indicate the presence of the two Aserver processes:

       If it is not running, become root and restart it as follows:

       If it fails to start, reissue the command with the option:

   Using Audio over the Network
       From  a	workstation,  you can also use the Audio Editor and Control Panel over the network. However, the remote system is where the actual
       playback and recording occur.

       The local workstation (or audio client) can be any Series 700 system.  The remote system (or audio server) can be a Series 700 or an X sta-
       tion  with  audio  hardware  and  must  have the Aserver processes running.  If the server is a workstation, it must also allow access from
       remote clients (see asecure(1M)) and must have running.

       To make the system an audio client, set the variable by modifying the file as follows:

	      Korn and POSIX Shells:

	      C Shell:

       For system_name, identify the workstation or X Station running the Aserver.

       If the variable is not set, the Audio Library attempts to use to the Aserver on the system defined by the variable.  If neither nor is set,
       the Aserver on the local machine is used.

DEPENDENCIES

       The Audio Server must run on a system that has audio hardware.  Note that HP-UX for the 8MB 705 System does not include audio software.

AUTHOR

       The Audio Server was developed by HP.
