Your experiences sound a lot like mine, Steve.
Last Saturday 02 July 2005 07:38, Steve D was like:
I had put off learning anything about Ardour for a
long time. I was
scared of its seeming complexity. However, by concentrating at first on
just the features that I needed to understand in order to record
something, it wasn't as hard as I thought. It will take time to learn
the program well though.
Yes, I took my time getting round to looking at Ardour. I have found it very
intuitive to use and as you say, you only need to know a limited set of
functions to record and master a basic multitrack piece. I'm beginning to
think of it as the audio equivalent to GIMP, rather than the Linux equivalent
to ProTools.
