When you say this, you mean that you use ardour to separate the recording into 
multiple songs (tracks) time wise and not to somehow break the various 
instruments out into a multitrack recording with different instruments on 
different tracks right.

I only say this in case someone might think multitrack on first reading.

I do pretty much the same thing with a band and an H4.
