DAW Evolution V : Ardour - Past , Present , Future !
Hosted by Vin Curigliano of AAVIM Technology, I am joined by guest
co-host Pete Brown of Microsoft and special guest Paul Davis, who
is the Founder and Lead Developer of Ardour.
We discuss Paul's early history with computers, technology and
coding , and how that lead a path to his involvement and focus in
open source, and the eventual development of Ardour. We cover the
history and the ongoing challenges of maintaining the unique
position of allowing access to the complete source code , and the
challenges of managing the development with the wider scope of
potential contributors to the code.
We cover Ardours original development on Linux and its porting to
both OSX and Windows, we discuss the challenges of running a
Professional DAW application under Linux over Mac or Windows,
navigating plugin and low latency driver formats, and the ongoing
challenge of motivating 3rd party plugin developers to port
natively to Linux.
We take a deep dive into the various milestone versions of Ardour,
navigate the complexities of musical time vs audio time, discuss
multiprocessing and multithreading routines and performance, hybrid
playback engines, etc.
We cover Pauls work with 3rd party corporate interests where Ardour
is the driving engine behind products like Waves Tracks Live and
Harrison Mix Bus.
We also discuss Ardours future development, cover some exciting new
features incoming, and much, much more.
