I'm telling you guys, there isn't another FOSS option operating at that level.  Not even close.  Not if you what you want is a DAW.
HI, I want to jump in!

I remember using Ardour 2 several years ago and thinking it was pretty solid but with a steep learning curve. It wasn't what I needed at the time so I used something else. I recently decided to install Ardour 5 and -WOW- it's so much better than I remember. More importantly, the documentation is amazing (manual.ardour.org). It's actually some of the best documentation of any software I've used. I started a session with the manual open beside the main sequencer window I was able to do everything I wanted to accomplish almost instantly. No more scratching my head and questioning the developer's motives. It's fantastic. I'm probably going to get a subscription because I like it so much. Ardour is a shining beacon for FOSS audio and a true DAW.
