if I can find the time I’ll download the source and see how hard it is to compile it for Windows.I still may give Ardour a try as it looks like you guys have done a lot of good work… but it looks like to me that it is not a traditional Open Source program… as I have come to expect….That said, I know there is just no way to get folks to change their views on this topic… like trying to get an Apple user out of the “walled garden” … ain’t gonna happen.

of course I also rant and rave myself when I can’t figure out how get it do do something I think it should… but ultimately, if I dig, I either find out why that feature/function is not available… or not as I expected… or I ultimately find out how to get the darn thing to do what I want.I also do some programming… all on the Windows platform… and have had no issues that I can blame on the OS….

As a tech guy I know a ton of software engineers and developers who use Linux at home… and they all rant and rave about how bad the Windows OS is… but, of course, Windows work is how they make their living, support their families, save for retirement, and send their kids to college.

The problems you’ll run into with Ardour on Windows will be the same problems you’d encounter on macOS or Linux. We use cross-platform toolkits and libraries, and as a result of a lot of hard work by a very small number of people, there are very few platform-specific issues with Ardour anymore. We’re not Windows people, and we don’t wish to be. Which is still used by at least 95% of all desktop computing users. Windows, despite the excellent work of some people at Microsoft over the years, is fundamentally a poorly designed and cruft-laden operating system. If it works for you, because of history, or the plethora of available plugins, or whatever, then that’s just fine. We just can’t in good conscience recommend the use of platform of such marked technical inferiority.
