Ardour source edition
By Ardour Contributors
Ardour is a multitrack workstation for recording, editing, routing and mixing audio and MIDI. Its free source edition is useful for users who can build the application or obtain a legitimate distribution package. Flexible buses, automation and session editing support substantial recording projects. The source license should be distinguished from the pricing of convenient official installers and the restrictions of demonstration builds.
Before a full session, check audio-device selection, input monitoring and the project sample rate. A short saved project and exported audio file are useful first checks of the complete workflow.
This listing covers free source builds and legitimate free distribution packages. Official ready-made binaries may require payment; the restricted demonstration is not presented as the free edition.
