For this use case I'd recommend using something, such as youtybe-dl
(which also provides a nice --extract-audio flag), to download the audio
contents and then just import that into Ardour.
Lorenzo.
with no plugins, it would be hard to buy a
computer today that could *not*
handle editing that session.
True. I've been doing 30-track editing on a P4
system with 512 MB
memory, no problem at all, Ardour handled that very well. That was
just editing, mixing with a lot of plugins etc. could be another
matter.
The *only* case when I've seen it fail was strangely enough when
recording just a single stereo track on a dual quad-core machine
with 4GB of memory. Input was coming from firefox playing a Youtube
video, routed via ALSA's Jack plugin, and recording failed repeatedly
with 'your hard disk was not fast enough' messages.
