3 There is no point in pretending that Ardour is a simple, easy to use
4 program. The development group has worked hard to try to make simple
5 things reasonably easy, common tasks quick, and hard and/or uncommon
6 things possible. There is no doubt that we have more to do in this
7 area, as well as polishing the user interface to improve its
8 intuitiveness and work flow characteristics.
11 At the same time, multi-track, multi-channel, non-linear,
12 non-destructive audio editing is a far from simple process. Doing it
13 right requires not only a good ear, but a solid appreciation of
14 basic audio concepts and a robust mental model/metaphor of what you
15 are doing. Ardour is not a simple "audio recorder"—you can
16 certainly use it to record stereo (or even mono) material in a
17 single track, but the program has been designed around much richer
18 capabilities than this.
