I just wanted to give a big shout out to the developers of Ardour. Great job guys. My background… I am a self taught Sound Engineer. Dropped out of high school to pursue my passion in music in the year 2000 ( grade 11 edu ). My goal and dream in life is to open networks of recording studios and clubs. I recently was going to purchase a bunch of pro tools equipment, 70k + but since I have been using Linux and open source for the last 4+ years I thought I give Ardour a try out and im loving it. I am a successful network marketer and recently real instate investor but expect alot of of donations and support from me in the near future 
OPEN SOURCE MATTERS!
