Ardour capabilities include: multichannel recording, non-destructive editing with unlimited undo/redo, full automation support, a powerful mixer, unlimited tracks/busses/plugins, timecode synchronization, and hardware control from surfaces like the Mackie Control Universal. If you've been looking for a tool similar to ProTools, Nuendo, Pyramix, or Sequoia, you might have found it.
Above all, Ardour strives to meet the needs of professional users. This means implementing all the "hard stuff" that other DAWs (even some leading commercial apps) handle incorrectly or not at all. Ardour has a completely flexible "anything to anywhere" routing system, and will allow as many physical I/O ports as your system allows. Ardour supports a wide range of audio-for-video features such as video-synced playback and pullup/pulldown sample rates. You will also find powerful features such as "persistent undo", multi-language support, and destructive track punching modes that aren't available on other platforms.

"Do not prevent transport operations after an export (and potentially at other times)"
2.8.11 came out in July 2010. On more recent news, an alpha release of version 3 will be available soon.

I can understand your frustration. I don't know if they had this in place before:
"Consider becoming a subscriber
If you became a subscriber then this download and all updates for the duration of your subscription would be available to you for free."

Smarter decision making when deciding which in/out configuration to choose when handling an AU plugin that has several.
When exporting/bouncing/consolidating, tell AU plugins the new processing blocksize so they will actually run during the process. Yes, that means what you think it means.
Remove use of std::locale() which is utterly and completely broken on OS X, and causes a program to crash if used with any actual national locale.
Don't reconfigure I/O of AU plugins when they already have the correct I/O configuration

one question: anyone know how to get it to read LADSPA plug-ins (btw, it won't work with VST plug-ins... you know what happened with Audacity and Steinberg!)? I downloaded LADSPA plug-in package vis-a-vis Fink and though Fink deposited them nicely in /SW/Lib/Ladspa Ardour is not looking there...???!!! ...
Anyone have any ideas on how to get Ardour to see them?
Thanks, Andrew

You didn't buy anything. That was a donation. There is no Lite version. The full Ardour is a GPL product.

If you want to download the full version, you need to pay a "donation" (suggested US $65), otherwise you will not be able to arrive to the full version download WEB page. But if you pay that "donation", and your download process fail, as it is not uncommon in a 100 MB download, to re-intent the download process you need to pay another "donation" again for every new download attempt until you succeed with the download.
I don't know if the GPL License allows these tricks, but it seems to me that the Ardour developers should have allowed a period of time (24 hours?) to re-intent and successfully end the download process.
