Well, when I made an attempt to use Ardour, I quickly figured out that its design assumed I was a fluent user of a traditional hardware mixer and an experienced sound tech/engineer ... but I'm no music pro, so could just be me.
At the same time, I handled the physical tasks of connecting cables between modules on a Moog ages ago, so maybe Ardour needs a more physical UI? ;)
