I’ve been trying to get to ardour for years and finally made one small piece with it.
Syncing PO-12 and PO-14 via Beatstep.
U-HE ACE and Helm http://tytel.org/helm/ doing most of the tunes + some quiet electric guitar and speech.

Not quite yet ready to completely ditch bitwig but I definitely finally started to like Ardour.
