[ardour-users] Any comments on Ardour under OS-X?

[Iwan Heskamp]

Hi All,

I just recently joined this list, as I'm about to do some 'real' stuff
with Ardour instead of just playing around. At the moment I use DeMuDi
1.2.1 which came with Ardour 0.97something. I want to finish the current
project first before trying to get 0.99 to work.

On my eMac running 10.4, 0.97something crashed when you even looked at it,
but 0.99 seems pretty stable. I composited some introsamples for Death
Metal songs with it. (It's not really composing, just a composition of
moviesamples etc.) And since I don't have decent soundhardware (yet), I
haven't recorded anything yet.

However, I could not get the LADSPA plugins to work. I tried various
locations for them, but Ardour just doesn't seem to find them? If anybody
got them to work, please let me know!

Furthermore, I don't really care that the interface is GTK instead of
Aqua, for such a dedicated tool as a multitrack recorder the looks don't
really matter, stability and efficiency do.
