## Linux Recording
   * Compression (ACE Compressor):                                    10:24:46 [1/673]
       * Use this sparingly. If you must use it, keep the ratio low (1.5:1 or 2:1)
         with a slow attack to preserve the natural "pluck" of the fingernails.
   * Limiter (x42-Limiter):
       * Place this last on your Master bus with a ceiling of -1.0 dB just to prevent
         clipping during aggressive transients.


  2. Specific Ardour Settings
   * Sample Rate: Record at 48kHz or 96kHz if your interface supports it. Classical
     music benefits from the higher resolution for delicate harmonic content.
   * Buffer Size: While recording, keep your buffer low (128 or 256 samples) to
     minimize latency. When mixing with heavy reverb plugins, you can increase this to
     1024.
   * Gain Staging: Aim for your meters to peak between -12 dB and -6 dB. This provides
     plenty of headroom for the guitar's natural dynamics without risking digital
     distortion.
   * Monitor Path: Use the "Hardware Monitoring" setting if your interface supports it
     to avoid hearing any processing delay while performing.


  3. Recording Workflow Tips
   * Stereo vs Mono: Classical guitar almost always sounds better in Stereo. Use a
     matched pair of small-diaphragm condensers in an XY or ORTF configuration.
   * Input Strips: Create a Stereo Track in Ardour rather than two mono tracks to make
     EQ and Reverb management easier.
   * Normalization: After recording, avoid "Normalize" to 0dB. Use Loudness
     Normalization (LUFS) if you need to match industry standards, typically aiming
     for -23 LUFS for classical content.
