Ardour vs reaper mac software#
Open source software ‘ecosystems’ develop more organically and unpredictably than proprietary ones, and some people don’t like that. Look, horses for courses, different strokes for different folks etc etc - but my Ardour-based ‘studio’ is everything I’ve ever wanted from computer music making. I’d prefer that the Ardour team carried on doing what they’re doing, which is improving the stability of the sequencer, than trying to become FL Studio. What’s available puts a lot of all-in-one proprietary packages to shame. There is some absolute gold running out of the box on Linux, including instruments and effects I use regularly, getting to know and lowering my inspiration/perspiration ratio.

As for the people who object to Ardour not coming with bundled plugins… why does it need to? We have the full MDA set, we have the Calf suite, the TAL suite, the Distrho ports such as Obxd and Dexed, not to mention the LinuxDSP crew’s commercial work. It’s not a studio itself, it doesn’t twist your arm to work in a particular way, it’s a very general and flexible blank canvas on which you paint your musical ideas, and as Dunnery says, it invites a ‘just add creativity’ attitude.
My music was always going to sound better when I got this plugin, that piece of gear, some other thing that took my mind off having to actually get my hands dirty and really get to know my tools.īelieve it or not, Ardour 3 helped me pick up where I left off all those years ago. I had the full-price version of FL Studio, with all its many bundled plugins, and was forever downloading demos of the latest hyped up synth and/or effects VSTs. In the early noughties I spent many hours and years trying and failing to produce electronic music on Windows. But I couldn’t agree more with the underlying point. Well, as more of a techno head than a guitarist I might disagree. Machines are not supposed to replace human feelings.

Logic is amazing and pro tools is not bad either but if you are looking for creativity the ardour is the new God. Give ardour your support and get creative. The same shit over and over by the same corporations. I am happy to support the developers because otherwise we have Disneyland with no cool shops. I have a real Wurlitzer, hammond and electric guitar. It make s me laugh that people buy software for plug in because the picture looks like the real thing. I don’t need plug ins, they sound horrible anyway. Ardour will give me a new challenge, which means new creativity, which means different things will happen. Same plug ins, same algorithms, same mastering, same keyboards. Why? Because I’m Sick of the sound of logic.
I started out with the very first protools in the 80s, I changed to logic because of all the continuous upgrades that I had to pay for and after ten years I’m switching to ardour.
The benefits of a project such as Ardour is also that might one day decide to stop supporting Logic, however, in theory a project like Ardour will continue to have community support even if the original developer decides he no longer wants to be involved.

As I’ve mentioned in many other threads, what you do have is choice either to accept a free (no cost) solution and also accept some of the ‘risk’ that it may not provide all that you need, or to pay for a solution (and accept the terms under which it is offered - check the terms and conditions of use for all those included loops too if you intend to publish any work commercially). As I understand it, the GPL (and therefore Ardour and other projects) was / is never about software being available for no cost, that just happens as an (un-intentional or perhaps intentional?) side-effect of its stated purpose of allowing the user freedom to use / modify / distribute the software without restriction.
(And why should software be any different? Lots of things I want aren’t free, but that’s just the way the world works). It’s just a thought that nothing’s for free.
