What are you thoughts on Ardour? Is it a good tool? Have been wanted to dabble in music making for a while.

- michaelpb 5y agoNot OP, but I like it! The piano roll interface is it's biggest weakness, but everything else is great IMO. My favorite feature is the mixer panel and effects stack interface. The mixer panel is a happy medium between powerful ("I want to experiment with some ridiculous side-chaining setup") and the simple / immediate ("I just want to soften up the sound with some reverb"), and can do both well in my opinion. If you're thinking of using it on Linux, I'd recommend using something like KXStudio. (Sadly the distro version of that is no longer maintained, otherwise I'd recommend that.)
- ratww 5y agoI like it! I find that editing has some things that to me are more intuitive than my own DAW of choice (Logic Pro X). The routing is also more powerful than lots of pricy DAWs, which lets you create some interesting effects. It's powerful but also easy to use (honestly, it's easier than some popular DAWs, purely because you don't have to fight the software to route).
