Ardour is definitely the best. Rosegarden is for notation and MIDI, NOT audio. So it won't help at all. (unless you wanted to record MIDI and not audio).<br><br>Audacity is more for the beginners, who don't really care about multiple tracks, quality or control. It may have a couple nice features, but overall, it is not the best.
<br><br>Just spend a few hours playing around with Ardour, it's really not that hard to use once you understand it. And it is well worth the effort!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 4, 2008 12:27 AM, Mark Stuart Burge <
