Audacity vs. Ardour
Another popular audio recording application for Linux (and Mac OS X) is Ardour, which calls itself a digital audio workstation. Ardour aims to meet the needs of professionals and competes with the likes of ProTools, Nuendo, Pyramix, and other expensive commercial audio applications. It has a more sophisticated mixer than Audacity and some nice audio-for-video tools. It has advanced dubbing abilities, synchronizes with MIDI sequencers, and supports control surfaces, which are hardware devices for controlling your software mixers. It has more automation, as well as a number of useful real-time features such as changing plug-ins on the fly and moving samples to different tracks or timelines while they are playing.
