Are you talking ardour2 or ardour3? Because I do atleast very similar stuff in my production, and I&#39;m pretty satisfied with ardour3 for that. It&#39;s not optimal, but it certainly works for me =)<br><br>Regards,<br><br>

<div dir="ltr">Hello all,<div><br></div><div>My composition workflow is based on loops - starting by creating rythms in Hydrogen and recording a few drum loops in Ardour, creating a bass line with amSynth or ZynAddSubFX and recording a few bass loops in Ardour, recording some guitars in Ardour and creating some samples from that...</div>

<div><br></div><div>The difficulty I&#39;m having in Linux is to create composition from those loops.</div><div>In Ardour is is time consuming to reorganise the loops to test new order/composition (because Ardour is not meant for that).</div>

<div><br></div><div>My idea of a workflow would be to have a tool to try out the different loops in different order and &quot;jam&quot; with them to see what works and what doesn&#39;t.</div><div><br></div>
<div>Then once that would be done - I would re-record everything properly in Ardour (drums with multiple tracks, breaks, etc... a more natural way of playing, guitar played and not looped, etc)</div><div><br></div>
<div>I have done some research and found &quot;only&quot; 6 tools:</div><div>- LMMS - it is mentionned several times that it is designed around loop composition, but I&#39;m not sure about being able to jam with them. (but at least being able to compose and move the loops around would be handy)</div>

<div>- Luppp, SooperLooper and FreeWheeling - they more look like software version of JamMan to me and meant to be played &quot;live&quot;...</div><div>- Giada - that&#39;s the last one I found, but the website describes a tool more for DJing and looping complete songs instead of actual instrument loops...</div>

<div>- Bitwig - I guess Bitwig will be THE killer tool to work with loops from what I could tell from the website.....but we are still talking a few months before general availability...</div><div><br></div><div>
I admit, I didn&#39;t really try these tools - I was hoping if anybody in the community had a similar workflow and could advise in anyway :)</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div>
