You gave up too quickly. I put off learning anything about Ardour for a
long time because it just *looked* so complex. However, I didn't have to
learn much at all in order to begin to use it effectively. Just less
than an hour's worth of reading the Ardour manual at it's website,
learning a little about how to start a session, some basic signal
routing, and how to use the mouse and computer keyboard with Ardour, and
I was up and running and eager to learn more about this great program.
Paul Davis also did a nice demo of Ardour at LAC2005, there's a video
recording of it here:
