Ardour is CPU hungry on Windows 11

I don’t doubt that Reaper is a great DAW. In fact, I have come to understand that it is a very powerful DAW. Thanks for your input. However, I do feel that the “information” on slant.co is unreliable.

I think we should stress here that the information is not only unreliable but also outdated and simply wrong or even ridiculous. Let’s see the cons list: „ Relies on JACK”, „Pre-built releases are paid and the only way to get the program for free is to build it yourself”, „Too many plugins”.

That’s really funny. Ardour has many cons of course, but literary none is listed there.

For example, I come across people who recommend Reaper all the time. I would estimate that 90% of these people have never tried another DAW.

I suspect the rankings in this is almost entirely based on the DAWs that people have used, rather than what is actually better.

That is indeed true. I echo your thoughts. BandLab’s Cakewalk has also become a popular DAW, and it is also free. I also find it quite fulfilling. My curiosity to understand and delve into the workings of different software compels me to try different DAWs from time to time. For me, it’s like trying different cuisines or musical styles. In the same way, when I buy a car, I always choose a different brand each time, eager to explore the different features of different models, regardless of the quality of my previous vehicle.
