Easy Recording and Mixing

With Ardour's true tape-style transport feature, you can mix and match how you want to record your tracks. You don’t need any fancy setup; just dive right in! Plus, you can tweak settings for each track whether you're layering sounds or going for something more straightforward.

Unlimited Tracks

You won’t hit any walls here! Ardour lets you work with an unlimited number of tracks, plugins, inserts, sends, and buses. Your tracks can overlap in all sorts of ways—you can have layered regions, non-overlapping ones, and even truly destructive regions!

Compatible File Formats

Ardour plays nicely with various file formats like FLAC, CAF, BWF, WAV, and AIFF. You can also check out the awesome Freesound.org library to find free samples that you can import directly into your session.

Edit Like a Pro

The advanced editing features allow for unlimited undos and redos—even when you switch between different sessions! You can bring in video files too; extract their audio and edit them frame-by-frame before exporting your masterpiece.
