For those interested in learning Ardour, YouTube has a lot of tutorial videos that have helped me. Seeing someone do something is sometimes easier than RTFM, especially when it comes to workflow. You do need to use some caution because there are so many videos and some are outdated.

Re: Ardour 5.9 released
#22Ardour is one of my favorite open source projects, and it's especially admirable considering that it's not a developer and/or server admin tool. It's rare to see people hack away for years on open source desktop software and constantly improving it.
Blender is another excellent example of this.
Add Inkscape to that list :)
Re: Ardour 5.9 released
#23I just downloaded Ardour (after trying it out a while back and somewhat giving up) and it's a pretty fantastic application. What prompted me to get into it again was that I wanted to combine it with Hydrogen ( http://hydrogen-music.org/hcms/ ) using JACK ( http://www.jackaudio.org/ ). I can _immediately_ see the power of JACK, but I just can't get my immediate use to work, which is when I hit play/pause in one applic…

This should work automatically. If not 50/50 chance you can blame it on Lennart Poettering:

#24If you like Ardour, consider a monthly donation! As other mentioned, it's a longtime work of Paul Davis and a close-knit community. Paul works full-time on Ardour thanks to these donations. See "Finance" sidebar at https://community.ardour.org/community
Another contributor that is even at least as active, in Ardour and the general Linux Audio community, is Robin Gareus (rgareus, x42) [0].

Didn't Ardour use to sell binaries? I was looking at it a while ago for inspiration on how to make money for Octave. Have they switched to a monthly subscription donation service?

Yes! I wasn't trying to put Paul on a pedestal, only pointing out he hacks full-time on Ardour and the way donations (currently) work is that money goes to him for this.

They still do. I've only ever used it within ubuntu studio though.

I just thought worth mentioning, I am not aware how donations work today.

#29I bought Ableton years ago after trying really hard to tame JACK, Ardour, Hydrogen, and a handful of associated utilities unsuccessfully.
It makes me REALLY happy to see this community still going. I know it takes time but the results are usually well worth-it, to get open software ecosystems thriving.

#30Now that the MP3 patents are expired, it'd be nice if Ardour added MP3 import / export. I understand why they didn't in the past, but it's been a showstopper for times when I wanted to recommend a FOSS audio editor to non-technical friends.
Here's the latest discussion I saw on it: https://community.ardour.org/node/14616
