How to learn Ardour for home recording?

[hankuoffroad (hank)]

Continuing the discussion from Audio, MIDI Workflow Stories?:

I have fallen down the rabbit hole of home recording in search of sweet and warm sound.

I’m keen to create voice-overs to video tutorials. I got an entry-level recording kit that fits the purpose, nothing fancy.

Question
Could you recommend good (short and sweet) tutorial video to learn about Ardour?

Homework I did

• Ran through Ardour configuration and recording process, referring to the Ardour Manual
• Got a basic understanding on key concepts such as gain, compression, noise floor, noise to signal ratio, PCM (digital audio) interface and so on
• Unfa Linux audio YT channel: Recording, editing and processing speech with Ardour

Thanks!

It’s a shame this went unanswered for so long…

I’m not aware of something that fits the bill – short and sweet. I remember Ardour videos to be rather long than short, often about single features, and many of them not for the current version (especially with version 8 released lately). So… with the “homework” you did already, is there anything you’re stuck with, any questions you think such a tutorial would answer?

Thanks for your heads-up. Seven tutorials @whanakemusic at YouTube reached its sweet spot for me. Unfa offers in-depth tutorials. Both instructors helped me shorten learning curve.
