After being hosed 2x by proprietary DAW venders I wonder if it isn't better
to support projects like Ardour? Anyone ever give it a go? Thoughts?

I've played with it briefly. It's getting WAY better, and I'll give it a serious
look again soon, when I have a new machine.

My word, they have a subversion repo. This could do shocking things to my
work productivity . . .

BEGBROKE, OXFORD - Solid State Logic is committed to providing end users with
a range of products that enhance the experience of producing music or sound
for picture. To this end SSL is establishing strategic partnerships throughout
the industry to deliver a new breed of hardware and software solutions to
audio workstation users. Our recent collaboration with software plug-in developer
Waves and a number of audio workstation manufacturers is an example.

Continuing down this track, SSL is proud to announce its involvement with
the Ardour workstation and is contributing to its development by employing
Paul Davis, the founder of Ardour and its key developer.

Paul is working on an agreed set of development objectives and is also co-ordinating
the efforts of other Ardour developers. Our aim is to develop associated
software & hardware and, in time, produce Ardour based products with special
SSL elements that add value.

Solid State Logic Managing Director Antony David says: "Our involvement with
Ardour should not be seen as exclusive of other workstation manufacturers
but we regard the Ardour platform as important for an industry that doesn't
currently have a truly open project interchange standard or an open platform
for plug-in developers. We regard the open architecture and platform neutral
technology of the Ardour workstation as a natural fit with SSL's long-term
vision to provide scalable and customisable solutions to a rapidly growing
customer base."

Ardour Founder Paul Davis explains: "Other pro audio manufacturers such as
Harrison have already contributed to the development of Ardour and more are
interested to do so. We hope that our involvement will encourage others to
get on board. We have also made it clear to those who have asked that we
would not object to a move to establish a separate legal entity (sometimes
referred to as the 'Ardour Foundation') if that helps convince potential
contributors about the security of the code as open source software."

The Ardour Audio Workstation is a collaborative open-source software development
effort. Rather than being a product of a particular company, its development
is centered around a growing community of independent software developers.

Heehee...yeah...you could spend YEARS trying to fix that code...

I don't know if anyone remembers a couple years ago, I was using Ardour as
the test platform for the PARIS drivers on Linux, back before audio on OS X
got fixed... I had talked to PBD about porting Ardour to OS X, but he
HIGHLY discouraged me from doing that at the time. That and the morons over
on the Linux audio list were enough for me to swear off ever doing any more
audio work under Linux. I was so disgusted, I deleted the entire source
tree!

Ardour has been on the verge of being something for a long time. Maybe some
day it will be... (And in the meantime, they at least got a spiffy new logo
earlier this year!) Oooo!

Well, let me put it this way - there's a reason you get the source code with
an open source project...

I'm gonna DL Ardour and the source code and see if I can figure out how to
get it to work on Windows.
