I wouldn't mind trying this guide out on my brother. He wants to record but is confused by how to get started.
I think it would be helpful if he had a 'click here, then here' sort of guide and some example workflows. Ie, how to start recording in Ardour. Install ardour and Qjackctl. Open Qjackctl. etc. Open Ardour. Add a track. Press Shift E. Click on 'Input' etc..Check what program is monitoring. Arm the track, go. Adding a drum track. Install Hydrogen. Open Hydrogen. Add a stereo track/Switch to JACK mode/etc.. Obviously a guide like this would end up being quite detailed, and would probably require some sort of javascript 'pop up' to a glossary for terms a novice might not understand. It'd be difficult - but I think it would be helpful. As it stands I wouldn't be confident just sending him a link to the docs because there is no simple entry point to get started recording music.
