Ardour DAW – Fifth Generation

Conclusions

Ardour 5 justifies the generation jump in its version number thanks to many useful new features. The still very simple Lua functions promise many in-depth extensions for Ardour 5 in the future. The absolutely outstanding stability, despite the version jump, was a particularly positive feature of the test. Ardour 5 is no less solid than its proven predecessor, but it is better.
