I recommend people try out a software tracker first before pushing the buy button. The M8 is easily the most versatile piece of music equipment I’ve ever used.

Nevertheless, it is great cost/benefit DAW. Do your midi stuff elsewhere and run from the nightmare I got myself into. Keep simple with audio recording and editing. my advice to you is not to fall for what I did, which is believing Ardour can do everything it says it does, cause it doesn't. Next time it's a negative! With so many different selections of tools, smart, playhead, etc, it appears the DAW confuses itself and do not respond appropriately. Sometimes I managed to select a note through the track and delete it. You cannot do it, unless if you go deleting every single other note, one by one! Terrible isn't it? No, you cannot copy a single note through the entire track. Another example: You want to keep only a certain midi note on your midi track, the C3 that is you Drum Kick. Oh, so I will consolidate all regions before unlinking! Nope, there is not such thing here. Some regions may be a single note, for example, and you can miss that. So you have to go manually "unlinking" every single region. Oh, just use copy instead of share, like they say right? Nope. The "share regions" will get you good as you edit one region and it "magically" ruins the original one. The DAW doesn't behave as you would expect. For those like me who use both audio and MIDI editing, it may easily drive you into a real nightmare. Yes, you can start a project from scratch and end up with a great sounding track using Ardour.
