Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) for people who want to record, edit, mix and master audio and MIDI projects. When you need complete control over your tools, when the limitations of other designs get in the way, when you plan to spend hours or days working on a session, Ardour is there to make things work the way you want them to.
Lol spending hours and days is correct but for me it was spent on trying to get the signal from your interface to actually reach the program and then figure out why there’s so much latency.
Were you able to reduce the latency to acceptable levels?
There is a YouTube channel called “TekSyndicate”. The dude wants to switch to Linux so bad, but he always complains about the lack of professional software to create his music on on Linux. Would this app be enough for him? I don’t know anything about creating music, but thought I’d ask if some of you do know music stuff.
I have a much easier time using REAPER rather than Ardour.
Bitwig is by far the best option on linux rn. Ardour is too barebones and focused on recording rather than midi
Ardour is definitely professional grade, but I must say that it’s far from simple to setup. First, you may not have the latest version available in you SW repository and you would have to compile it yourself! Then, despite all the progress brought by pipewire, audio config in Linux is complicated and unreliable, especially for this time of work, requiring different audio devices, MIDI control interfaces and VSTs.
I am not an audio professional, I’m an amateur, and found myself demotivated by the amount of work required until I am ready to create music, and finally gave up :(
I don’t use Ardour because the prebuilt binary costs, but I think it’s the best form of open source project.
Arch linux official repos seem to have prebuilt binaries ready to install: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/ardour/
I haven’t played around with Ardour for a while. Might test this new release
Not seen this before, looks like Audacious on steroids. A bit like Photoshop vs MS Paint.
