I gave money to Ardour not really with the intention to donate, but rather to get the Windows executable because I’m lazy to find a freely distributed Ardour for Windows or even compiling manually.
Today I’m on Linux which Ardour is easily accessible from package manager. Or if I want to compile Ardour, it’s easier to do compared to compiling on Windows. But it was just $5 so nothing bothers me at all.
Is ardour actually a good DAW?
I wanted to try it out, but I couldn’t find a binary for Windows either. At that point I was using FL (still am :D) and I felt donating would be a good thing, but I wouldn’t have found any worth in it
It is more complicated than FL studio, which LMMS is I think would be much closer to FL studio.
Ardour is works better for recording. The MIDI editor works fine, it’s just that LMMS has better MIDI editor. On Linux, Ardour is pretty convenience because it is integrated with JACK audio server. The recording editing is also feels better than Audacity.
I actually didn’t use much Ardour when I was on Windows because it’s was complicated to look at. But once I get to Linux I just slowly take time to understand what is what.

I’ve been donating to Ardour for years. Recorded my terrible songs on it. Worth the cost of donation knowing that others can make terrible songs too.
