![]() Many things in Ardour relate to Jack and I strongly suggest you read a little bit about it. This is a very good thing because Jack provides a high performance, low latency audio server that routes audio data between an audio interface and audio applications. The first thing you notice is that Jack is essential for Ardour. Interesting features will be implemented and we'll have an even better digital audio workstation. A good news is that Ardour2 is close of being released and it will have a much improved interface that will use GTK2. Anyway, I don't see it as a user's software but more as a software for professionals. It's almost a whole audio editing studio packet in a fairly small open source software. It is a tool for multi-channel, multi-track, non-linear and non-destructive audio editing and even more. The software has great functionality but it is not user friendly. ![]() There are many features available and making all of them in easy reach and intuitive seems a very complicated task. ![]() Working a little with it lets you understand why. I'll start with telling you that, at this point, Ardour is not an easy to use software. ![]() If configured properly and if there is enough experience behind Ardour, it can definitely outsmart most of the expensive competitors from the Windows platform. Ardour does all these things while still benefiting from all the things Linux has to offer. There are many similar software packets to Ardour, but none of them runs on Linux and none of them is Open Source. Ardour is a very capable digital audio software. ![]()
