I don't know any studios doing linux audio apart from Ron Parkers. But then I 
don't know any music studios apart from Ron Parkers.
I know they exists because several of them seem to have said so on LAU or in 
the ardour-list in the past.

And if I can only convince you by hard numbers, I doubt that anyone will ever 
convince you. Not because of conspiracies but because it is _very_ difficult to 
get a good overview of the market (you have to have applications that phone 
home or sell dongled software to do so) and even then you get studios using 
several competing products. And because ardour is neither phoning home, nor 
sold with a dongle or personalized code, there are probably only little 
numbers (apart from downloads which don't say much). And if these numbers 
aren't personalized, you won't know how many of them are studios. So there 
aren't any numbers to convince you. But then again you couldn't tell absolute 
numbers of studios using blender either...

So there isn't more unless you spy into every pro studio in amerca/the world/ 
the universe...

So long,

Arnold
