Ardour Digital Audio Workstation Now in Beta
croddy writes "The first beta of the Ardour digital audio workstation has been released. A tarball is available at the Ardour project page on Sourceforge. Packagers are currently preparing binary releases for several major Linux distributions. Ardour is a professional-grade, low-latency, multi-track digital hard disk recording and mixing application designed to replace dedicated HDR systems, and software systems such as ProTools and Samplitude. It supports audio processing plugins via LADSPA. Although it is still a beta, the years of work and dedication by the Ardour development team are very much visible in this release."
The perfect tool for even MORE lame Korean knockoffs of American pop music.
Actually, though...the cheaper the tools, the less lure there is for artists to sign their souls over to RIAA.
Sorry for bringing up RIAA again, just because the topic happens to involve sound.
...
to me, the most important difference is that Audacity can be run on windows and Ardour can't. for me, that makes Ardour's greatness a moot point.
YOU SUCK BALLS!
that it is almost completely useless and destined to fail miserably if it tries to compete with pro-tools. I get a kick out of even trying to imagine any engineer trying to use this in a production environment, even 5 years from now. It's a buggy-ass toy...
