![]() Let’s see how Zita-AT1 works by exploring its interface. It’s now time to press Play again and… Hopefully it works ! Quick guide to Zita-AT1 Select the Corrected track and, in the mixer strip, click the In button just right of the big red record button. We need to tell Ardour to listen to whatever is inputted into the Corrected track, even though it’s not recording. If you press Play right now, you’ll hear… Nothing ! Don’t worry, this will soon make sense. ![]() We’ll connect the output of AT1 instead, so go to the Other tab and create a link between zita-at1 and Corrected in. Click on the green dot(s) to disconnect your audio interface from the input of this track. ![]() The logic is the same as the output grid : at the bottom is your track’s input, and on the left are the numerous source that you can connect to the input of your track.īy default, your system’s audio interface should be connected ( Hardware tab, system/ capture_1 or capture_2 should have a green dot). Let's open the input routing grid by clicking the button in the mixer strip, just under the track’s name Corrected. We want to connect the input of this track to the output of Zita-AT1. Step 3 - Connecting Zita-AT1 back to Ardour Now the Vocals track’s output is plugged into Zita-AT1’s input. If you check both boxes, this will sum the two outputs, risking clipping (thanks Erik Marsk for the comment). The Vocal track is mono, so both L and R outputs of the tracks are the same at the moment (we have not modified the panning), so tick only one box, either L or R. On the Vocals track we will connect either L or R to zita-at1 by clicking in the intersections in the table. We’ll disconnect the track from the Master by clicking the 2 green dots connecting Vocals out L and R to the Master bus L and R (in the Ardour Busses tab). On the right side, you have all the possible connections you can make inside and outside Ardour, be it a track, bus, an external processor etc….Even if the track is mono, you may use the panner or a stereo plugin which requires a stereo output, so it makes sense. At the top, you have this tracks output so Vocals out, splitted in “L” and “R” for left and right.It may seem complicated, but it makes a lot of sense. You’ll be prompted with the window shown above. Let's click on that and choose Routing Grid. It is by default set to go to Ardour’s Master bus, which is itself connected to your speakers. It's the output button deciding where the audio goes. You can see on the screenshot above, in the strip, a button labeled Master. So, the OUT of the vocals track should be connected to the IN of Zita-AT1. We need to make the signal go from the Vocals track to Zita-AT1 to be processed. On the left is the corresponding mixer strip (Go to View > Show Editor Mixer if this is not visible). Let's call it “Corrected” and leave the rest at their defaults. ![]() This track should be mono too (as Zita-AT1 is mono). Zita-AT1 should be started, too.Ĭreate a new track : right click under the Vocals track header or Track > Add Track or bus. We’ll suppose we already have JACK running, and Ardour launched with a mono track called Vocals, on which is our recording. So setting it up is not as straightforward, but remains easy enough. Unfortunately (for this use case), Zita-AT1 is not a plugin you can add in the mixer strip, but an autonomous JACK app. So we’ll go ahead and make use of Zita-AT1 in Ardour. Igor Brkić (author of VocProc) commented “there is zita-at1 which does pretty much same job but much better”. The 3 formers have not seen any development since 2010, and the consensus tends to favor Zita-AT1 for the job, for its quality.
