> Ardour seems more robust than Audacity That's not our experience. Audacity is one of the most mature audio applications on Linux, while Ardour is still under heavy development and goes from stable to unstable (and back) every week. We've been using Audacity in the studio for several years, with good results, but Ardour is not yet dependable enough that we can use it as our main live recording tool. We look forward to Ardour version 1.0 when we probably will use it more, due to its realtime effects and better overdub synchronisation. (Audacity has an overdub latency problem, due to its OSS rather than ALSA or JACK interface). Cheers Daniel
