It can be used with a two button mouse or touchpad, but at least two key

operations will not (easily) be available to you:

You are strongly encouraged to invest in a three-button mouse. You will
|
|
|
|
|
find that a good quality mouse (especially one with a weighted,
|
|
|
|
|
latchable scroll wheel) will make your use of Ardour vastly more
|
|
|
|
|
efficient. They are cheap, and time is not.
