There is no point in pretending that Ardour is a simple, easy to use
|
|
program. The development group has worked hard to try to make simple
|
|
things reasonably easy, common tasks quick, and hard and/or uncommon
|
|
things possible. There is no doubt that we have more to do in this
|
|
area, as well as polishing the user interface to improve its
|
|
intuitiveness and work flow characteristics.

At the same time, multi-track, multi-channel, non-linear,
|
|
non-destructive audio editing is a far from simple process. Doing it
|
|
right requires not only a good ear, but a solid appreciation of
|
|
basic audio concepts and a robust mental model/metaphor of what you
|
|
are doing. Ardour is not a simple "audio recorder"—you can
|
|
certainly use it to record stereo (or even mono) material in a
|
|
single track, but the program has been designed around much richer
|
|
capabilities than this.

Some people complain that Ardour is not "intuitive" to use—its

lead developer has
