Ardour, from Wikipedia
Ardour is a hard disk recorder and digital audio workstation application. It is free software released under the GNU General Public License. It currently runs on Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Mac OS X. Its primary author is Paul Davis, who is also responsible for the JACK Audio Connection Kit. Ardour's intention is to provide digital audio workstation software suitable for professional use.
Features
Ardour supports digital audio at arbitrary sample rates, to the extent of the hardware's capabilities, as well as input and output in a number of different file formats. MMC (MIDI Machine Control) and generic MIDI control surfaces can be used to control the mixing surface either manually, or via automation.
Ardour offers some notable variations on the usual set of audio editing functions. Fades, for instance, are applied in real-time as they are modified. Several different region layering models are also supported. The software provides undo/redo and snapshot facilities to store interesting or useful versions of a session.
Some use Ardour as an audio mastering environment. Its integration with JACK makes it possible to use mastering tools such as JAMin to process the audio data. Ardour can also export TOC and CUE files which allows for the creation of audio CDs.
Compatibility
Ardour relies on plugins to enable many features from effects processing to dynamic control. Ardour supports the LADSPA plugin architecture. Support for Steinberg's VST plugin standard with Wine is a compile time option.
As Ardour is a free and open source application, anyone can read the source code of the program. This allowed the first port of Ardour to Mac OS X to be carried out by someone previously uninvolved with the Ardour project.<ref>Plantilla:Cite web</ref> Ardour attempts to adhere to industry standards to maximize functionality and ease portability.Plantilla:Fact
