Ardour 8.10 is now available for Linux, Windows and macOS. As with the last several releases, 8.9 turned out to have at least a couple of new major issues that required a hot-fix. We believe that we have corrected issues with performance caused by scheduling of disk input/output threads (these problems tended to be system dependent, but were very real on systems where they occured). Importing SMF (MIDI) via drag-n-drop now uses the file name once again. Content-slipping a region correctly causes...

Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) for people who want to record, edit, mix and master audio and MIDI projects. When you need complete control over your tools, when the limitations of other designs get in the way, when you plan to spend hours or days working on a session, Ardour is there to make things work the way you want them to.

    In Linux there are already much better options than Ardour that I highly suggest to try:

    • REAPER as a standard DAW and Ardour equivalent.
    • Bitwig Studio for more sequencer-like worflows (alternative to Ableton Live, FL)

    These are not hobbyist products, we are talking about professional level software here, so they are both paid.

    In any case REAPER is usable for free if you don’t use it commercially and it’s so cheap for the value it brings that there are no excuses for not buying it.
