  • My Tascam FW-1082 control surface, which is also my sound card, doesn’t work with Ardour.
  • Compression in Cubase sounds better.

In terms of music, Cubase provides many things Ardour doesn’t which I need such as MIDI support, VST and VSTi support, and variaudio.

I know Ardour is awesome for many things, and I always support the project where possible, it is just not for me, that’s all. :-)

Still using Cubase and Mac? Come on Jono it's getting a bit tired. It's almost 2010 for Christsake! Ardour is awesome. I get very good audio quality on the MythTVCast with it. Is it just a case of using what you're familiar with? Keep up the great work. Take it easy.</p> Like the show even though it’s a bit short in length. Still using Cubase and Mac?
