   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.

• Service changes and bad luck

  Also if you go the YRT route I seriously recommend using something like transsee.ca or triplinx.ca (I find this one to be least accurate however) to track said bus movement. Also as a bonus if you get stuck in the area assuming they are still open heading home last time I was there the Chinese grocery stores were decently priced for veggies, fruits and some meats (pre pandemic, ones beside P Mall).

• GRT is pretty good. No, I am not joking.

  Nobody is claiming ION is never late, but it rarely deviates from the schedule by more than a minute, which can be seen objectively in data from transsee.ca. Average schedule adherence is superb compared to many bus routes, and certainly far exceeds anything Route 200 could ever have hoped for with increased ridership. Source: over 2 years ago

• What is this cylinderical object on a trunk?

  With the appropriate software/website you can track the location of the vehicle, with info such as speed, coordinates, altitude, route, destination, and more. Many transit buses employ such a system, transsee.ca being an example of this. Source: about 3 years 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.
