-<p>
-<dfn>Ardour</dfn> is a professional digital workstation for working with
-audio and MIDI.
-</p>
-
-<h2>Ardour is meant for...</h2>
-
-<h3>Audio Engineers</h3>
-<p>
-Ardour's core user group: people who want to record, edit, mix and master
-audio and MIDI projects. When you need complete control over your tools,
-when the limitations of other designs get in the way, when you plan to spend
-hours or days working on a session, Ardour is there to make things work the
-way you want them to.
-</p>
-
-<h3>Musicians</h3>
-<p>
-Being the best tool to record talented performers on actual instruments has
-always been a top priority for Ardour. Rather than being focused on
-electronic and pop music idioms, Ardour steps out of the way to encourage
-the creative process to remain where it always has been: a musician playing
-a carefully designed and well built instrument.
-</p>
-
-<h3>Soundtrack Editors</h3>
-<p>
-Sample accurate sync and shared transport control with video playback tools
-allows Ardour to provide a fast and natural environment for creating and
-editing soundtracks for film and video projects.
-</p>
-
-<h3>Composers</h3>
-<p>
-Arrange audio and MIDI using the same tools and same workflow. Use external
-hardware synthesizers or software instruments as sound sources. From sound
-design to electro-acoustic composition to dense multitrack MIDI editing,
-Ardour can help.
-</p>
-
-<h2>Ardour features...</h2>
-
-<h3>Audio and MIDI Multi-Track Recording and Editing</h3>
-<p>
-Any number of tracks and busses. Non-linear editing. Non-destructive (and
-destructive!) recording. Any bit depth, any sample rate. Dozens of file
-formats.
-</p>
-
-<h3>Plugins with Full Sample Accurate Automation</h3>
-<p>
-AudioUnit, LV2, LinuxVST and LADSPA formats. FX plugins. Software
-instruments. MIDI processors. Automate any parameters. Physically manipulate
-them via control surfaces. Distribute processing across as many (or as few)
-cores as you want.
-</p>
-
-<h3>Transport Sync and External Control Surfaces</h3>
-<p>
-Best-in-industry sync to MIDI timecode and LTC. Send and receive MIDI
-Machine Control. Sync with JACK transport and MIDI clock. Dedicated Mackie
-Control protocol support, pre-defined mappings for many MIDI controllers
-plus dynamic MIDI learn. Use OSC to drive almost any operation in Ardour.
-</p>
-
-<h3>Powerful Anywhere-to-Anywhere Signal Routing</h3>
-<p>
-Complex signal flows are simple and elegant. Inputs and outputs connect to
-your hardware and/or other applications. Use sends, inserts and returns
-freely. Connections can be one-to-many, many-to-one or many-to-many. Tap
-signal flows at any point. If you can't connect in the way you want with
-Ardour, it probably can't be done.
-</p>
-
-<h3>Video Timeline</h3>
-<p>
-Import a single video and optionally extract the soundtrack from it. Display
-a frame-by-frame (thumbnail) timeline of the video. Use a Video-monitor
-window, or full-screen display, of the imported video in sync with any of
-the available ardour timecode sources. Lock audio-regions to the video: Move
-audio-regions with the video at video-frame granularity. Export the video,
-cut start/end, add blank frames and/or mux it with the soundtrack of the
-current-session.
