From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.
