Ardour 2

Good quality UI - Very fast workflow/performance!

  by epat

Ardour is the best digital multitrack audio mixing/mastering software that open source has to offer and is a very capable application. Although some features are lacking at present, new projects and innovations should bring MIDI support as well as just plain audio which will probably make this the best sequencer software around as well. The features that aren't lacking are very complete and well thought out and development seems to be attracting ... [More] more attention gradually. The UI is the best part though, the dark interface, utilising a very nice colour sceme and icons coupled with the clearlooks GTK theme, does not make your eyes tired with prolonged use and is very fast and accesible. The workflow is very fast, although it can be tricky to learn what keys do what for instance and sometimes a mouse alternative doesn't seem obvious. All in all, it's an excellent program and looks set to dominate the open source and linux audio front in 5-10 years if development continues! Brilliant! 5 out of 5!!
