There are actually very good reasons to use ardour for
post-processing of
live-recordings:
- Its completely non-destructive, even if you slice your
2-hour-file into
10-seconds snippets and rearrange them and delete them one-by-one,
you still
don't loose the material. Yes, you should have backups, but who
knows...
- Its _very_ easy to apply mastering effects over the whole
session. (And
with the jamin-control-plugin you can change settings between songs.)
- And all editing on effects and automation is non-destructive
too. That is
very nice compared to clicking "apply effect (silence)", having the
computer
work for ten minutes and the realize that a) its the wrong effect
and b)
the "create undo" wasn't selected.
- ardour is definitely not trying to load the whole 2-hour file
into ram...
Don't forget the CD markers -> TOC export for creating CDs easily with
Ardour. Works great for live CDs where you want to add track
boundaries with no gaps for disk-at-once burning.

I like the idea of using Ardour and jamin to master a live recording,
but it has to be done in real time, correct? Forgive me if this is
an obvious question (I've just started to learn about Ardour and
Jack, I didn't know about the CD markers thing), but say I have a
two hour live concert recording. I run it through jamin and then
back to re-record in Ardour. Since it is going to take two hours in
real time, I'd like to start it and let it run overnight --- how do i
get it to stop, and just keep running all night? or is there an
easier or better way to do this? Most tutorials I can find are old
or incomplete.
