Great for Live performance
Perfect tool for live performance and keeps updating and upgrading.
PROSI recently started using Ardour for live performances and have been really impressed with the cue function. It allows me to set up and trigger audio clips and sequences on the fly, without interrupting the flow of the performance. Setting up audio clips and sequences is straightforward - I can import audio files or create MIDI sequences within the program and then arrange them on specific tracks or busses. The cue function is also great for triggering automation events like changes in volume, panning, or effects processing by creating automation curves for specific tracks or busses. Additionally, I have found the clip sidebar feature to be incredibly useful. It's a dedicated panel that displays all the audio clips and sequences I've imported or created in a project, along with information about their length, color, and location within the project. I really appreciate being able to quickly and easily access and trigger audio clips and sequences during a live performance by simply clicking on them in the clip sidebar. And the ability to create folders and assign colors to audio clips and sequences within the clip sidebar makes it easy to keep track of and distinguish different elements of my live performance.
CONSArdour is a great DAW with regular updates. It has been a great alternative to expensive DAWs for live performance and the user interface is easy to work with. I don’t have any complaints and most of the issues I encountered have not been a deal breaker yet and there is a lot of tutorials online.
Reasons for switching to Ardour
a very good alternative for live perfomance. very easy to use

ARDOUR, un DAW open source professionnel
Ardour est un logiciel DAW open source polyvalent et puissant qui offre une gamme complète d'outils pour l'enregistrement, l'édition, le mixage et la production audio. Il offre la possibilité de synchroniser le son avec la vidéo.
PROSArdour offre une large gamme de fonctionnalités pour l'enregistrement, l'édition et le mixages de divers formats de fichiers audio, ce qui facilite l'intégration avec d'autres logiciels et matériel audio. Il peut être utilisé avec des instruments virtuels, des effets externes et des contrôleurs matériels. Il prend en charge aussi la synchronisation vidéo pour la post-production sonore.
CONSPar rapport aux DAW commerciales, Ardour possède une sélection plus limitée de plugins inclus de base. La configuration et l'intégration de matériel audio externe peuvent-être plus complexes surtout pour ceux qui débute.
Reasons for switching to Ardour
En raison de ses nombreuses fonctionnalités, la prise en main de Ardour pourrait-être rude pour les nouveaux utilisateurs, en particulier s'ils ne sont pas familiers avec les DAW.

Missing information
This software had all of the 10 features in the comparison. There are a lot of help resources due to the very large community of developers and users, and lot of tutorials. this software has no limit of the number of tracks and the number of channels.
CONSThe timestretching algorithm (rubberband i think) )is a little less efficient than protool's for example
