| - | **Powerful** | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP indent> | ||
| - | Heaps of features, with more appearing each version. Thanks to the communication that the developer has with his user base, the new features are useful and sensible, not just programmer-centric experiments. | ||

| - | **Stable** | ||
| - | |||
| - | <WRAP indent> | ||

| - | **Complex** | ||
| - | |||

| - | **JACK** | ||

| - | ===== Install ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Ardour is open source, but the developer requests a donation of at least $1 (US). Given the price, there's no excuse to decline payment; the money directly supports the further development of one of the finest DAWs on the market. | ||
