I haven’t used Ardour in a while, but it’s great seeing continued development and updates!
Came here to say this. I am planning on getting a new machine around tax return season though, so, will finally be able to play with it again.
How does this compare to Live for those who have used both?
In the past couple of years they’ve really ramped up development of tools for creating electronic music, such as the clip launcher and beat grid. I have only really used it for pro-tools style recording, when I started using it there wasn’t even any midi capability. I bet it’d be pretty good for electronic music now, given the right synth plugins.
My favourite thing about ardour is the work flow and the anywhere-to-anywhere audio routing.
I’ve been using it for 13 years and love it!
Here’s some music I used to make with Ardour, Hydrogen and Renoise: https://on.soundcloud.com/QrxQw
Has anyone used the new beat mapping? That’s one of the few things keeping me from using it full time.
Not yet, I’m keen to have a go as it looks very flexible
What is Ardour? Software or a Linux distribution?
It’s software. Think of something like ProTools or Reaper but, Open-Source and Linux-native.
