Hi all,
A friend of mine has recorded a multi-track project in Audacity under
Windows, and I'd like to take it, bring it in to Ardour, and polish it
up, both to help him out, and to convince him of the merits of switching
to Linux and Ardour himself.
Has anyone done this before? A quick google doesn't turn up any
automated tools, but if anyone has done it manually and has some
workflow tips they could share, that'd be great.
Thanks
Leigh

there are no automated tools. just get the audio files, start ardour,
create new session, drag-n-drop the files into ardour, edit. done. :)

It would probably work best to export the audio tracks to broadcast
waves or as whole stem waves. That way everything is at the correct
timing when imported into Ardour(or any other DAW for that matter).
I actually just did this with a project we recorded, and had everything
bounced down to whole stems. All the audio tracks start at 0.
I have a question on a related topic. My tracks were recorded at 88.2
sample rate. When I imported them to Ardour, it converted them for me.
Should I dither because of this conversion?

You only dither when you reduce sample size, ie 24 bits down to 16 bits.
There is no god reason to dither just because you're done a sample rate
conversion.

Right. I couldn't remember if it was sample and bitrate conversions or
just bit rate. Thanks!

Cheers Paul -- in the end I used Audacity's "Export Multiple" option to
get each track as a separate file, and then dragged-and-dropped those in
to Ardour as you suggested. A bunch of the "tracks" in Audacity were
really just regions within one actual instrument track, so being able to
drag in clips either as new tracks, or as regions on existing tracks,
saved me a tonne of time.
Thanks
