Thanks a lot for your reply. I admit I didn't check the details of the mentioned situation and, as you said, it was a long time ago, nor was my wording correct.

Thanks a lot for your reply. I admit I didn't check the details of the mentioned situation and, as you said, it was a long time ago, nor was my wording correct. Great to hear the financial situation is not dire. I also admit I haven't been following Ardour progress for some time, so my judgement wasn't fully informed. By "powerful" I meant not getting in the way and providing the wide set of tools. I mostly do mixing and editing, and I stand by my words that Reaper provides the most flexible and advanced workflow compared to Pro Tools, Logic and Studio One specifically, if you take the possibilities of 3d party enhancements of scripting/plugins. This doesn't mean it's the "best" DAW, as one doesn't necessarily want that, but for me it beats the mentioned competition hands down. It's definitely time for me to try Ardour again, though!

The problem with talking about DAWs and workflows is that there are so many distinct workflows that it becomes almost meaningless. Watch a discussion between e.g. an Ardour user and a Reaper user about how to do something, and it will often seem like they are in different worlds. "Well, I would never even begin to do it that way" will almost certainly come up.It would be even worse if you listen to, say, a Logic user and an FL Studio user. So many "basic concepts" that one of them uses every day, but that don't even appear on the other user's radar. That means that a given "most flexible and advanced workflow" that matters a lot one user will probably be awkward for another, but it won't matter to most people, because they do it a different way. Like I said, I'm glad for DAW users that there are so many choices, and I'm fairly sure that for the vast majority of people, there's one out there that will make them happy. What it is matters much less.
