What is Ardour?

Invest in a high-quality audio interface and connect either a microphone or a keyboard to it. Begin by creating a new track, pressing record, and you’re all set to start. You have the ability to edit your audio through a variety of methods, such as cutting, moving, stretching, copying, pasting, deleting, aligning, trimming, crossfading, renaming, taking snapshots, zooming in and out, transposing, quantizing, swinging, and simply dragging and dropping. Additionally, you can bring in audio or MIDI files from your own computer or take advantage of the Freesound database, all while benefiting from unlimited options for undoing and redoing actions, all within a single interface. Manage your mix using tools like mute, solo, faders, automation, EQ, and dynamics, along with insert and send options, as well as pre-fader and post-fader effects, plus features for synchronization, monitoring, and isolation. Experience high-fidelity floating point audio, a highly customizable mixer layout, an array of plugins, and compatibility with external control surfaces. Ardour is designed for those who prioritize recording, editing, mixing, and mastering both audio and MIDI projects.
