Editing Ardour (software) (section)

=== Recording ===
Ardour's recording abilities are limited by only the hardware it is run on; there are no built-in limits on the number of tracks the user can record to. When recording on top of existing media, it can perform [[Latency (audio)|latency]] compensation, positioning recorded material where it was intended to be when recording it. Monitoring options include self-monitoring, external hardware support (dependent on [[sound card]] support), and specialized hardware support (e.g. [[JACK Audio Connection Kit]]). Self-monitoring makes it possible to apply [[Plug-in (computing)|plug-in]] effects while recording. Using the JACK audio, Ardour can record concurrently from both the audio card and compatible software.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://prokoudine.github.io/ardour-tutorial/en/getting-started/starting-ardour/|title=Starting Ardour :: Ardour Tutorial}}</ref>
