   Great for the poor man. Still needs A LOT of improvements, specially on midi editing.

   Copy Yes, you can start a project from scratch and end up with a great sounding track using Ardour. Specially if you use mostly audio. For those like me who use both audio and midi editing, it may easily drive you to a real nightmare. The DAW doesn't behave as you would expect. The "share regions" will get you good as you edit one region and it "magically" ruins the original one. Oh, just use copy instead of share, like they say right? Nope. It still bugs you to the bone. So you have to go manually "unlinking" every single region. Some regions may be a single note, for example, and you can miss that. Oh, so I will consolidate all regions before unlinking! Nope, there is not such thing here. Another example: You want to keep only a certain midi note on your midi track, the C3 that is you Drum Kick. You cannot do it, unless if you go deleting every single other note, one by one! Terrible isn't it? No, you cannot copy a single note through the entire track. Sometimes I managed to select a note through the track and delete it. So I took note how I did it and... Next time it's a negative! With so many different selections of tools, smart, playhead, etc, it appears the DAW confuses itself and do not respond appropriately. So... my advice to you is not to fall for what I did, which is believing Ardour can do everything it says it does, cause it doesn't. Keep simple with audio recording and editing. Do your midi stuff elsewhere and run from the nightmare I got myself into. Nevertheless, it is great cost/benefit DAW. Worthy a try.

• Note-Taking and Personal Knowledge Management

  Using Logseq[1][2] for years and quite happy with it, especially since it has apps for tablets/iPad and phones as well, while being completely FOSS. [1] https://logseq.com/ [2] https://github.com/logseq/logseq. - Source: Hacker News / 29 days ago

• Forgetful gets procedural and prospective memory

  I should call out another thing that convinced me was a user of forgetful (twsta) posted in the discord a skill for managing wok and todos from how they used to use Logseq. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

• Refactoring How I Learn

  The Zettelkasten method is a knowledge management system that helps organise ideas effectively. I believe this system would work well for myself, so I have been looking at applications such a Logseq and Zettlr as a result. I am currently using a Wiki-style solution in Zim, however. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• Be Careful with Obsidian

  I am a fan of Logseq [0] as well, although it’s slightly different in that it is mostly for bulleted notes and not long-form prose. [0]: https://logseq.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

  I'm the lead author of Ardour [0], and I'd very much like to hear more about your frustrations, since over the next 1-2 years, paying attention to non-European musical culture is one of the things I hope to focus on during development.
