Ardour Features
Ardour uses a non-destructive editing workflow, preserving original audio files regardless of the number of edits made. All changes are stored as metadata, allowing users to freely undo, redo, or modify edits without altering the source material.
The software provides full latency compensation across all tracks and buses. This ensures accurate synchronization when using plugins or external hardware, helping users maintain precise alignment during recording, editing, or mixing.
Users can control plugin parameters directly within the track view using in-line displays. This enables quick adjustments without opening separate plugin windows, improving workflow efficiency during mixing and editing processes.
Ardour allows users to create an unlimited number of tracks and buses with any channel count. Whether working in stereo, mono, or multichannel formats, users can configure their sessions to fit complex routing needs.
